What About the Farm Bureaus?
Views Of Various Thinking Farmers Based Experiences
in Their Own Localities

Being an irrigation farmer I know
by experience that it is awful hard to
stop continuous stream, of water. If
my ditch breaks the first thing do is
to turn the water in some other direc-
tion while I fix up the damage. We
can not stop the spring flood, but we
might be able to change it's course and
might even be able to utilize it for
irrigating later in the season.
Apparently the Farm Bureau is
here to stay. Kicking will not help
much. Joining it may not help much
either, but it seems to me from our
experience here that there may be
solution in that direction.
JUST A FARMER,
The nonpartisan leader., 1921-04-18

would like to tell you of our expert
ence. For obvious reasons I must ask
you not to publish my name or even
the locality in question.
When the Farm Bureau started Or
ganizing here year ago it sought
help from and was assisted by the
Commercial club while it took no no
tice of the other farm organizations
already existing. This caused some
what bad feeling toward the Farm
Bureau which is still in evidence.
However, we saw that the county
and state authorities were supporting
the movement and that the Farm Bu-
reau would have large influence on
local matters regardless of whether it
consisted of farmers or of city people
so we joined in order that the move
ment might express our ideas of or
ganization and be of some real good
for US.
The progressive elements joined in
such number that we practically con-
trolled the local organization and have
had influence on the county agent.
When said agent first came he took all
OF his advice from the business men.
Later he boasted that he had saved the
farmers thousands Of dollars by COL
lective buying without hurting the
dealers one bit. Now it seems that he
is interested mainly in helping the
farmers, even if it should hurt the
dealers.

HELP THE BUREAU GET
ON THE RIGHT TRACK

"A move forward is move forward
whether it is accomplished by the Bu-
reau or the League. Many things will
come under the scope of the Bureau
more naturally than under the League
and why not help the Bureau do it?
A former member of the Montana
state staff said recently that the true
sphere Of the Bureau is investigation
and education. Does not this give the
Bureau broad field? In it's own way
the Bureau is the best agency to in
vestigate and gather statistics about
such subjects as the relations of sup
ply and demand to the fluctuations in
prices-the relation of the price of
wheat to the price of flour, or (still
broader, in general terms) the relation
Of the price of all raw material, in
cluding labor, to the price of the fin
ished products-the cost of production
Of the different crops, the advantages
of one grain over another in any 10

FOR THE BUREAUS

4IuACO4 4NO4ApaI CIodu ASduSI. IOF'
some time I have been watching the
articles and cartoons in the League
papers about the Farm Bureau and
they all seem to take the stand of
mistrust and opposition. Can this
really be good policy?
My opportunity for first-hand in
formation about the Bureau is limited
to the local agency, but think it is
doing good. A short time ago we had
our annual meeting and the following
lines of work were adopted for the
coming year: Junior Farm Bureau,
farm management, bookkeeping, live
stock diseases, gopher control, crop
Improvement and livestock improve
ment. We also have thrifty shipping
association and successful federal
farm loan association due to the eff
forts of the county agent. I can't see
any reason for opposing work like
this. I intend to support it.
do not doubt that the big guys will
monopolize the Bureau for their own
interest if they can, but they will do
the same with the League if they are
given half chance. They will use ev-
cry farmer and laborer, man and
woman, if they can and there is just
as good excuse for allowing one as the
other or all of them.
The Farm Bureau is what the men,
bers make it. Most farmers know
that they do not belong in the dia-
mondstud group even though for va
rious, reasons they will not join the
League. Many of them will join the
Bureau. Why can't the League men,
bers also join, not as Leaguers but as
farmers? The special duty of the
League members in the Farm Bureau
should be to promote friendship and
cooperation between these two bodies
that are organized for the same big
purpose. In my opinion, the attitude
Of the League should be pictured by
Mr.. Baer's recent Farm Bureau car
toons and designated with the warn
ing of "Don't let this become true"
