COUNTY FARM BUREAU,
IT'S PROVINCE AND USE

The organization Of farmers is not a
new subject It has been problem for
more than a century and much effective
work has been accomplished. There are
thousands of successful cooperative agri-
cultural associations; also other thou
sands of farmers clubs, oranges farmers
unions, and other secret and non-secret
associations, that are performing splen-
did service in their respective fields. The
plan of a County Farm Bureau does
not conflict with any of these existing
organizations. 1t in no way interferes
with the work they are doing: 1t is
non-partisan, non-secret, non-sectarian
organization representing the whole
farming population, men and women
alike, and acts as clearing house for
every other association interested in agri-
culture. 1t is really Chamber OF Agri-
culture which unites all existing agencies
and gives them a solid united front with
which to meet emergencies. The Farm
Bureau is not dream of theorists but
was developed out Of a necessity to meet
the demands Of effective county agricul-
tural agent work
These are crucial times In the life OF our
nation We are facing grave political,
social, and economic dangers. Every line
Of business recognizes this and the farm
ers of the county are not slow to grasp
the significance OF the situation and to
realize that every agricultural agency
must be united for the protection and
promotion of agriculture. Already every
one of the 80 northern and western states
have felt this and farm bureaus have
been organized in every state except
Delaware and Wisconsin. At the present
time there are more than 300 in existence
and before next spring there will be more
than 1000. The primary purposes Of
farm bureau are:
% To provide a means Of easily and
quickly reaching every community with
Information of value to that community.
This might be timely informa ton about
potato blight. insect pests. or il might
cover case like one in Kennebec county
year or two ago when two car loads of
seed oats were sold at good price to
farmers and not a single bushel ever
sprouted In a hours time the machin-
cry OF farm bureau could have spread
warming into every town.
f2) To provide local body Of people to
consider the agricultural needs Of the
town and with the assistance Of the coun-
ty agent determine how. when, and
where to meet these needs. To take these
towns needs to a county meeting to de-
termine the county needs and map a pro-
gram of work in which every community
would he hammering away at the same or
kindred points. For example. good high
Welding varieties Of seed oats could be
put within the reach Of every farmer IN
the county in a single spring.
fs) To provide a group Of people IN
every town to assist in carrying out this
program of work planned by local COM

mittee could met, decide that demonstra-
lions in poultry, orcharding, potatoes. n
boys and girls club, farmers union.
fruit growers association, etc, were
needed. Then with the interest of all the
people in the community this program OF
work could be carried out.
az To increase the efficiency Of the
county agent many. many times and to
be the representa- ives of the agricultural
extension service In each town.
The history Of farm bureaus in this
country for the past few years is very in
teresting. They began in a single county
in New York and have spread into 81
other states. They have assisted hun
dreds Of local communities to analyze
their needs and initiate a program Of
work to meet these needs. Through COM
mittees they have been instrumental in
organizing all kinds of cooperative mar
keting and buying organize tons. oranges,
farmers clubs. etc. Without the farm
bureau the New York Dairymen's League
never would have succeeded and this is
only one OF the many instances which
might
the farmers hundreds of dollars.
The farmers Of Maine are beginning to
awake to the tremendous value of such
an organization. Four weeks ago the
farmers of Hancock county held their or
ganization meeting and organized with
more than 300 members. They started
work al once and already have a move
rent underway to locate market for
the milk of the county.
The chief features Of the plan OF or
ganization generally in use throughout
the country are outlined below.
% A representative membership made
up generally OF farmers scattered
throughout the county.
~ An executive committee composed
OF the officers Of the bureau and about
four other members all elected at the an
nual meeting.
(0 A community committee composed
Of a chairman and from one to four
members representing the sections of the
community and also the types Of farming
in the community. This is the COMMITTEES
which does the planning and helps dire,t
the work.
~ An advisory council composed Of
the chairmen Of each community COM
mittee. This Is the committee which
brings all local plans together and
standardizes them.
The meeting Of two score farmers held
IN City hali. Augusta. September !, was
called for the purpose Of discussing this
movement A county committe vas ap-
pointed TO take plans under consideration.
County Agent Deerins would be glad to
hear from any persons not present at tn.
