FARMERS ORGANIZING
ALONG BUSINESS LINES

/ Apparently the farmers Of the
United States are about to join in an
7 organization that will be a strictly
business affair conducted by farmers
for the material benefit Of farmers
and RELOCATING all classes OF agitators
and professional politicians who have
claimed in other organizations TO rep
/ resent the farming element.
This movement was recently or
ganized in Chicago and took the
name of the American Farm Bureau
Federation. It adopted what is
known as the County Agent plan,
which has the approval Of the ma
tiOnal Department Of Agriculture.
and sets forth its program as follows:
The creation Of a bureau Of trans
portation, which, besides securing
proper rail rates, will give to the
farmer Of the United States ocean
rates which will enable him to COM
pete on a fair basis with the farmers
Of other nations Of the world"
A bureau Of trade relations to in
vestigate dealings with foreign
countries.
4 bureau Of distribution to study
the distribution Of farm products.
A bureau Of statistics to study
world conditions which influence
supply and demand as well as prices.
A legislative bureau which shall
have TO do with matters of national
legislation which affect farming and
farmers"
1t is not to be thought that the
federstio means that the Govern
ment shall establish these bureaus
and divisions which have just been
enumerated. The federation will es-
tablish them itself. Perhaps it is
important to note that this body Of
farmers is beginning work with a
broader scope than has any similar
body in the past. II will not confine
itself to just the minor things Of
the moment, but will endeavor to be
big enough to investigate the under
lying factors in world agriculture.
The federation is in no wise po-
litical body. as announced. The
farmers who are members will still
be Republicans and Democrats but
they will have means through which J
to notify their Republican and Demo /
cratic friends in congress and else
where in official positions their de-
sires in relation to the agricultural
industry.
One of the purposes OF the organi- /
zation as announced is TO cooperate
with all other lines OF business, to !
assist them when necessary and to
secure assistance from them for |
legitimate agricultural purposes.
The organization declares itself TO 1
be constructive and that it is not its
intention to adopt radical or IRA
.ional methods to secure any needed l
relief for the farming industry but
il will undertake TO obtain the same 1
the presentation Of facts
gathered by the organization and l
the views of the farm |
ars generally.
1t is particularly pointed out that
the organization will have nothing
TO do with the hordes of agents who
are infesting agricultural communi-
ties and who know nothing about
the farmer excepting that he has
money they want and they feel they
can best get it by inducing him TO
Join their Socialistic organizations.
