FARM BUREAUSTRONGEST
ORGANIZE TON IN MA TON
OF FARMERS FOR FARMERS
COMMUNICATED

to work hard in order to feed the
Sinking industrials or to feed an I'M
known family thousand miles away.
So we cannot depend upon patriotic
enthusiasm to go very far. There
fore, unless this problem is solved a
the profit of the farmer, production
will fail to the point or nominal out
put. The farmer will always feed his
own household well; he is self -suffi :
Gent and Independent and If he has
no outlook for surplus profit, he will
not plan his work to produce the sur
plus. This is fundamental.
The purpose of the state as well
AS the National Federation of Farm
Bureau organization is based on the
idea of giving to agriculture the same
voice in state and national affairs
now enjoyed by other industries such
as labor, such as is now organized. 1t
is not political movement and in the
American Federation no officer or dir
ector can remain such and seek a po-
licial office and the same principal
applies to the state federation. But
these organizations are rather a
means of expression for the senti-
ment of people living on the land. It's
policy will be to live and let live and
it is hoped that the common sense of
the farmers of the country will furn-
ish the balance wheel for the preser-
walton Of the ideals of Americanism.
Fundamentally the farm bureau
must be to agriculture what the
Chamber of Commerce is to the bus
mess world and in a state like ours
where farming is the principal bust
ness of the community, the farmers
the farm bureau movement lies large
ly in the one great truth that exem-
plifies their belief namely "No man
liveth to himself and no man dieth
to HIMSELF" 1t is an Organization for
a square deal and is working with
well tried principles founded neither
in haste nor anger but upon ripe ex-
perience. By sober, truthful and in
dependent effort the farm bureau fed
erations have already built pro-
gram for constructive work. Its Wis
ion of the future is aided and guided
by the observations of the past. 1t
has no issue or claims no accute
power to further its ends. 1t seeks no
special privileges nor does it believe
in granting any. 1t believes in and
adheres to the sterling truth
The Blue Earth county farm bureau
is member of the state federation
and through it will secure for it's
members all the benefits to be derived
from the national organization as well.
To be the great instrument for serv-
ice to the people of this county, the
organization needs the hearty support
and corporation of all the residents
of the county. 1t also greatly des-
ired that every resident of this coun-
ty become a member of this organi-
Zation. Several counties in Mime
sofa have practically 100 per cent
membership and many counties in
other states have a full membership
of every farmer in the county.

AS many of our readers know, there
was organized last November, the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
This is a Federation the State Farm
Bureau declarations and already has a
membership Of over 1,175,000. 1t is
expected that this organization is to
be the mouth piece of the agricultural
interests of the nation AS stated in
the constitution its objects are: ITO
correlate and strengthen the State
Farm Bureaus and similar state Or
CARNATIONS of the several states in the
National Federation; to promote, pro-
tect and represent the business, econ
omical, social and educational inter
ests OF the farmers of this nation and
to develop agriculture" The Farm
Bureau Federation of American has
already become a controlling power
in the life of the nation and has es-
tablished the following divisions or
bureaus:
One. A bureau of transportation for
the investigation of rates both rail
products may be secured that will al
low them to be handled on an equable
basis with other commodities and will
enable the farmers of the United
states to compete on legitimate
basis with the farmers of other
countries.
Two. A bureau of trade regulations
for the study Of commercial condition
between our own and other countries,
looking to the expansion and protec-
ton of American Agricultural inter-
Iests.
Three. A bureau of distribution to
investigate means and methods of
handling and marketing farm prod
ucts
Four. A bureau of statistics for the
purpose of collecting facts and fig
ures dealing with the production of
farm crops and livestock and for in :
quiry into conditions which influence
the law of supply and demand.
Five. A bureau of legislation which
shall make special study Of and in
quire into all National legislation pro-
posed from time to time that is likel-
to effect farmers and farming.
Six. A bureau of CO. operation for a
study of cooperative methods which
have proven successful, both in this
country and abroad, with a view of
evolving standard form of co-opera-
tive agencies of various kinds in con-
nection with state federation work.
Seven. Minnesota together with
twenty eight of the other leading
states have already joined the Ma
tional Federation of Farm Bureaus
The objects Of the State Federation
are generally to secure for those en-
gagged in agriculture within the state
the same, as the American Federation
expects to obtain for the farmers of
the nation. In the first place it will
attempt to lay out a program that
eventually will make farming prosper
Gus. Farming is not a philanthropy
The farmer Is like every other man.
He is in business for profit; he has
little conception of an altruistic duty

BEEF PRICE TOOK DROP
FACT SHOWN BY BUREAU OF
MARKET REPORT
Comparison of Costs ShoWsWide
Margin On Chicago
Markets g.

Washington, July 29-[By The AS
sociated Pressl-Unusual fluctua-
tions in the price of dressed beef oc-
Cured during the first six months of
this year, says report of the United
States bureau of markets. Starting
with top price of $21 for good grade
beef in January, sharp and cratic
price changes marked trading
throughout the period, with the low
top price of SIT recorded during the
last week in May and the high point,
$31, made on June %, an increase OF
$14 hundred pounds in 80 days.
A series of unavoidable events, most
of them resulting from abnormal con-
ditions produced by the war, contrib
uted to the phenomenal price trends,
the report says. Among the principal
disturbing influences described are
partment of surplus stocks of beef in
an effort to reduce living costs, high
er stocks and feeders markets, high
priced feeds, fruition of producers
efforts to increase cattle production
for war needs and anticipated foreign
demands, labor troubles, decreased
transportation facilities, embargoes
unsettled foreign credit and exchange
conditions, decrease in beef exports,
financial credit restrictions, declines
in prices of hides, tallow, and other
animal by-products and decreased or
spasmodic consumption OF meat.
In fact, the report says, every pos
sible economic factor Incidental to a
period of reconstruction and capable
of disturbing market conditions for
these products of the farm and range
had free and almost unlimited action.
Dressed Meats Dropped.
Prices of livestock in the Chicago
market and those paid for dressed
carcases as taken from New York
quotations from ten days to two
weeks after the live cattle transact
tions also showed wide fluctuations,
the report asserts. The difference OF
1925 per hundred pounds between
corresponding grade or dressed car
cases in January was wfdened until it
stood at $1450 during the closing
days of June. For the same period
the difference between the low price
of medium steers on the hoof and in
the carcass had advanced from $625
to S12.75.
A comparison of live cattle prices
and prices on relative grades Of
dressed meats on January 2 and June
80 this year with those corresponds.
ing dates last year shows the top
price for good beef steers at the be-
ginning of this year at S18.75 and at
the end of June as $3.50 with the
opening top price on dressed beef
from such steers at S21 and the close
at $31. On January 2, 1919, live
prices for the same grade were up
to Sits and at the end of six months
the top stood at S14,60, a decline of
$315. Good dressed beef on January
2, last year, registered a top of SGT
and on June 80 had declined IS to a
top of SO.

BACK FROM FINE TRIP
Mr.. and Mrs. F. M. Currier En-.
joyed Outing In the North
~ Part of State

After spending most enjoyable
two weeks vacation in the northern
part of the state, Mr.. and Mrs. F. M.
Currier, South Broad street, return
ed TO their home last evening. Mr..
and Mrs. Currier spent some time a,
Lake Itasca, and while there witness
sed one of the worst storms that the
section of the country had known
for many years. They also visited
Alexandria, Detroit, and Glenwood,
They reported that this section OF
the state was most beautiful, and
that large number Of tourists were
making Minnesota live up to its IL
tie "the vacation state" Mr.. Cur
rier stated that the roads on the
whole were excellent, and the best
stretch that they encountered beng
between St Peter and Eden Valley
a distance of 100 miles.
Mr.. and Mrs. Currier did not make
the trip on the trails with high
sounding names but followed the
state roads. The highway between
Fergus Falls and Evansville is not
in very good condition at the pres :
ent time but in a year hence it will
be improved. The distance between
4Mankato and Lake itasca was 295
miles, according to Mr.. Curriers'
Agures. Mr.. Currier returned more
enthusiastic than ever regarding bet
ter roads for Minnesota, realizing
that If the roads are in good conu,-
ton tourists will visit the towns
and the commercial advantage will
be great.
In most counties the road patrol
system is in vogue. This system
should be maintained in Blue Earth
county, declared Mr.. Currier today.
