PURPOSE OF FARM BUREAU

PURPOSE OF FARM BUREAU
The Farm Bureau is a compare
lively new organization. and its our.
pose and plans Of operation are moi
thoroughly understood by all farm
ers. II is to the farmer what the
Chamber Of Commerce is to the bust.
ness man of a city. and it proposes
to assist the farmer to place agri'
culture upon a business basis. IL
does not preach class hatred, for Il
is not engaged in tearing down other
enterprises Of individuals, but rather
to develop agriculture and a better
marketing system for farm products.
The president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, Mr. j. r.
Howard. has outlined the purpose Of
the Farm Bureau, and we quote the
following paragraph from his re-
marks:
"It has always been the policy of
the County Farm Bureau and the Of
fcers in charge of it to avoid any
thing bordering upon class conscious
ness, or which would tend to destroy
any other line of business. In the
last analysis, there is no distinction
between the interests of the producer
and the consumer. between the in
terest of the farmer and the town
dweller 1t is true the farmer could
live longer without the men in town
than could the urbanite without the
farmer. but Immediately the farmers
activities would be limited only to that
which he himself consumes on his
farm. He must have an outlet for
surplus production. 1t is to the
farmers interest that the city pros
per. Call it selfshness on our part
IL you want, but we as farmers are
dependent upon railroads and manu-
featuring, upon wholesalers and re-
tailers. The more healthy the gen.
eral business of the country is, the
better it is for the farmer. | would
selfishly like to see every laboring
man in the country employed every
day of the year at useful employment
and at good wages, for | would then
be assured of a certain market for
the surplus of my farm. ! have no
sympathy whatever with any farm
movement which tends to build up
agriculture at the expense of any
other industry, for il would in itself |
defeat its own end very rapidly. |
Neither have sympathy with any
line of business which tends to push
downward agriculture or agricultural
prices to the exploitation of other
business. What we need and must |
have in this country is a proper eco
nomic adjustment or balance between
the farmer and industry, and con-
slider it one of the functions of the
American Farm Bureau Federation to
assist in seeking this proper relation
ship"
The farmer, the business man--in
Tact, every citizen can subscribe to
he purpose and object of the Farm
Bureau. 1t is important not only to
agriculture to have an organization
hat will serve it well, but the sue
,ess and progress of all other bust
hess enterprises depend upon the
arm. ~-.

Can Be No ComparIson.

There can be no comparison made
between the intrinsic values OF the
human soul, and the world. The one
Is immortal, everlasting; the other is
corruptible, transltory. The one has
been redeemed by the precious blood
Of Jesus; the other even now groans
for redemption. The one Is made in
the Image and after the likeness OF
God; the other but lmperfectly re-
fleets, as In mirror, the wonderful
majesty ana power OF God.-Rev. Hen
~ Lowndes Drew.

The acidity Of silage caused largely

The favorable influence of silage on

the silage acids.

Work more
Produce more
SAGE more

But we can't continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms. mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products.
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion-more en-
gines. more cars. more tracks more ter
minals-there can be little increase in
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep right on growing-and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow of new capital to expand railroad
facilities and so increase production
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power of railroads.
The nations business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow.

RIVER GuLLS GREAT EATERS
New York Ferry Guard Declares the
Birds DeVour More Than Their
Weight In a Day.

Those who complain about the
cold, increasing coal bills and other
troubles resulting from spring
weather long deferred will do well to
consider the ways of sea gulls win
tering along the Hudson and East
rivers.
Guards on the Hudson ferries de-
clare that one reason the gulls can
weather ii with comfort on an ice
cake in zero weather is their ability
to store away food.
a don't know how they put in the
nights, but daytime is dinnertime
for the gulls along this route" said
an observing guard on an Erie ferry,
according to the Mew York Eve
ming Sun. "a know several gulls
that are wintering here by their
markings and they average mouth
full of some food or other every two
minutes. There are about eleven
hours of daylight now and you can
figure it for yourself that means
about $50 mouthfuls day. Some
of these bites are so big the bird has
to stand on IN ice cake and jerk its
neck to swallow Consider that the
average bite is half an ounce, then
the birds must eat ten pounds of
food, or more than their own
weight, every day"

HAVE TRUE MOUNTAIN SPIRIT
Kabyles Of Northern Africa Proud ana
Arrogant, and Keen Lovers Of
independence.

The snow-capped mountains Of
northern Africa shelter race of
mountaineers as distinctive in type
as the mountain dwellers in our own
land. The Kabyles, as they are
called, live in almost inaccessible
corners of the mountains, and by
their manners and customs further
insure seclusion. They have a pro-
verb widely quoted among them
selves that che has not seen Algeria
who has not seen Kabylia." Yet the
foreigner is not made welcome in
their mountains, nor are they eager
to display the boosted wonders OF
their country.
The Kabyles are true mountain
GERS. Feuds and vendettas are com
mon. Pride and arrogance are in
grained in them. They are an indie
pendent race well aware of their
strength that so effectively held off
for long time the French con-
querors in Algeria. France finally
won the mountains, but the Kabyles
have retained their Independent
spirit. They have never mixed with
the Arabs of the plains, though they
wear the Arab dress and profess the
Mohammedan faith.
