buckle his belt for a most strenuous
campaign of production, but here
again he is determined that he will
not go alone"
see that his statement is fair and
just that it should have beeen pre-
scented and that the language used
is none too strong. But 1t will get the
results? There is only one trouble
with this representation of the far
mers cause. It should have been
made by a Committee from Nation
al Federation of Farmers represent
ing not five but forty-eight states,
and not a quarter of million far
mers in one section of the United
States, but or 5 million farmers
and voters from every part of the
United States.
Meanwhile the big result of which
the farmer can see from the drive
against the high cost of living has
been tremendous decrease in the
price of corn and other grains and
decrease in the price of cattle and
hogs. In the face of a short crop
of grains and an under production
of cattle and hogs, and in the face
of this reduction in the price of the
farmers grain and livestock we see.
wages forced to higher and higher
levels. Truly the farmer is being
made the GOAT and he is beginning
to realize 1t.
The National Federation of Farm
Bureaus will not necessarily solve all
these problems in a week or even In
a month. However. 1t will give the
farmer a chance to present his side
of the case to the Powers that Be.
1t is common sense to suppose that
as long as we have a representative
form of Government, and as long as
these representatives want to go
back to Office they are going to cater
largely to that class of people who
can tell them their desires in an or
ganized way and back up these by
votes.
On the 18th and 18th of Nov. the
representatives of 20 States which
are thoroughly organized and (about
10) (which like Kentucky, are now
organizing will send delegates to
Chicago to form National Fedora
ton of Farm Bureaus. When this
National Organization is perfected |
the farmer will be in position as
every other manufactures to ask cost |
of production plus reasonable pro-
fit for the stuff he produces.
Yes but, says some man who has
never thought out the proposition,
how is the farmer going to control
the price on the stuff he has to sell.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1919-11-07
Need of National Federation

This need has been shown in a
thousand ways. One of the most re-
cent was in the efforts to get the
Daylight Saving Law repealed. If
there had been National Federation
of Farm Bureaus law like this
would have been easily repealed.
1t would not have been necessary to
have sent a Committee before Con-
gress stating that this law was inju-
rious to the interests Of the farmer,
and asking it's repeal. AS it was
the representatives of five Farm Blu
reaus did obtain its repeal by bring
ing pressure to bear on Congress.
We are feeling the need of strong
National Federation of farmers now
more than ever before. Just lately
the representatives of the State Fee
derations of Farm Bureaus of five
States (Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
and >Nebraska) presented to Presi-
dent Wilson statement of the views
of the farmers of these states on the
cause of the high cost of living and
their attitude towards a reduction
of same. This statement reads in
part as follows:
"The American farmer, individ-
ually, and in his organizations, re-
cognizes his responsibility in this
matter, provided, however, that
every other good American citizen
or foreigner within our borders will
let the scales drop from his own eyes
andw illness that he also has an in
dividual and organized responsibility
that cannot be shifted. The Ameri-
can farmer is willing to squarely
meet the issue. If prices cut to the
bone all along the line, farm products,
wages, manufactured goods, rent,
wholesalers and retailers profits will
bring the desired results, which he
rather doubts, he will go as far along
that road as any, but he will not go
alone. Let the whole brotherhood

FULTON COUNTY, KY.
FARM BUREAU
The Need of the County Farm Bureau

AS to the need of Local Organ
ization of Farmers we feel that it is
so plainly felt that there is hardly
room for argument.
The Local or County Farm Blu
reaus have made good in 20 States
and around 1000 Counties. Their
activities have been many but large
ly conferred along the following two
main lines:
Better Methods In Farming.
Under this head little need be said.
Fulton County has made so much pro-
.eess in better farming in the last
few years, and promises to make so
much more, that we can be unani-
nous in endorsing this as part of
the County program.
Occurring The Farmers Raw
Material At Wholesale or Near
Wholesale Prices.
On this point the Farm Bureau
takes the followingi position. The
farmer is a manufacturer of stuff
that the world needs Just like any
other manufacturer. When a bushel
of corn, wheat or potatoes, or 200
1b. hog, or fat steer leaves the farm
1t is a finished product just as much
as the factory or the farmer can fin
ish it. 1t is good BUSINESS POLICY
for the farmer just az does every
other manufacturer to buy raw ma
terial used in the manufacture
of these finished products at whole
sale prices. Such raw materials as
Red Glover seed, Japan Glover seed,
limestone, acid phosphate, baling
wire, feed all kinds (such as corn,
cottonseed meal and tankage) and
many others have been handled by
the County Farm Bureau at i'm
mense savings to- the farmers.
This does not Cy any means indi-
cate that the men who have been
handling these articles for farmers
have been robbing them. Some far
mcrs of course think that this is
true and openly proclaim it. The
Farm Bureau can not be responsible
for the private opinion of all its
members. The cooperative buying
of such articles as those suggested
above is just business proposition.
Any farmer should be able to save
the cost of his membership fee many |
times over in q year.

Need of a State Federation.

The 20 states who for four years
have been. trying out County Bu-
reau have agreed that they need a
State Organization of Farmers. They
have obtained these through fedora
ting their County Organizations into
State Organizations of Farm Bureaus.
These are proving successful in their
spheres as are the County Bureaus.
They have found out that the State
Organizations can handle many mat
tiers of service to the farmers that
could not be handled through the
County Organizations. Marketing
and Legislation have been two of the
chief products of the State Organi-
cations.
MARKETING.-As regard to
marketing every farmer knows that
on the question whether / sell my
hogs or cattle now or feed them three
more weeks?" often depends the far
mers profit for the whole year. The
farmer already has much market
information from various sources,
but often this information is fur
nished by men who are biased in
their opinion or interested parties SO
to speak. The State Organizations
have found it practical to keep mark
ct specialists who keep in touch with
the markets, and make study of
supply and demand. Their advice
on these matters is furnished to men,
bcrs by wire in an efficient way. OF
course every farmer is at liberty to
accept or reject this information, but
many farmers have found that the
profit on this information Tin one in
stance alone) has been sufficient to
pay their Farm Bureau dues for life.
LEGISLATION.-I regard to le-
gislation the farmer has been so long
discounted by the Legislative Bodies
of the different States that he often
fails to realize that the passage or
failure to pas of certain bills coming
up before the State Legislature have
a direct bearing on his business or
his pocketbook. The farmer has not
even taken the trouble to inform
himself about bills to be promoted.
What was the use? With no organi.
zation he was unable to influence
their passage one way or the other.
Those States which have State
Federation of Farm Bureaus have
found out that the farmer has a
power just as great if not greater
than any other classes of men. Bills
voted On and approved in the County
Bureau and then presented by the
State Bureaus, and backed up by the
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1919-11-07

Farmers voted nearly always pass.
Bills voted on in the County Bureaus
and disapproved of seldom get on the
Statute books. This was proven by
the Illinois State Bureau last year,
when their representatives obtained
the passage of six bills favorable to
farmers and the defeat of seven which
the farmers had passed on as either
injurious to their business or waste
full of public money. Similar results
have been obtained in other states.
