County Farm Bureau
Showing Healthy Increase

| The following named men have been
added TO the list published last week
as Lawrence County Farm Bureau
members: w. T. Woods, u B. short

of membership to 40 members at
present.
What are these men organizing them
selves for? Is it to strike and force
from an already strike-worn people n
greater price for their products, %
demand shorter work day and a less
number of days? No, none such things
are their objects but we are going to
use our united efforts in trying to
learn better how to wrench from old
earth a greater production by using
better methods of farming, improved
seeds. and replace the scrub sire with
a pure-bred thereby reducing the cost
of meat. Another motive which we
mean to carry out is to place our
product in the hand of the consumer at
a less cost of handling after it leaves
the farm thereby reducing the price
. him at the same time, realizing a
better price 10 ourselves. 1t is the
lack of a system that has caused this
condition and no certain class of peo-
pie are to blame.
We by no means intend to overlook
the social and civic conditions now
existing in the rural portion of our
population, rather that is one of our
chief aims to remedy them and furnish
to the young people of the country an
opportunity to enjoy themselves in a
healthful social way that will tend to
keep them on the farm and at home
instead of seeking those things in some
city.
We are glad to see the farmers of
the county getting back OF their Farm
Bureau and we hope TO have the re-
quired number of 100 men soon which
will allow us TO affiliate with our
State Federation and get on real
working basis.
We hone soon to establish rest
room in our county seat for country
women and men. farmers headquar-
-ters in town, equipped with apparatus
which will tend to show country folks
some recognition when they come to
town. a place to leave their packages,
change clothes, to rest, a place to be
by the fire in winter and to know that
you are really paying for it and that
we are not sponging. or lounging on
some one who does not want us and
Nas not room for us A place to dis
play the farmers, best products where
the people may see what we are doing.
1t is an old adage that says, 1T pays
to advertise" and all other walks of
life have learned so long ago.
1t is a living chance to improve our
condition and place agriculture on the
map of the world as a business. which
it is. and the basis of all other busi-
ness. at the same time to he able to-
feed the world and live and let live
price that we have brought ourselves
together and organized the Lawrence
County Farm Bureau. If YOU are
farmer and live in the country your
place as citizen standing for better
is in your County Farm
Bureau.
