! l arid but irrigable lands, and an un- | excelled climate. To suggest how i best we can utilize them. that we may attract and develop our greatest need, which after all is populations | Our mineral wealth was deposited | in our hills and mountains untold l ages before the foot of modern man was ever set upon our soil. The soil | of our valleys and uplands, with their promise of abundant crop and range
 returns, is nearly as old as our hills and mountains. Our forests were born in another and distant age.
 None of these can be of much moI Q 1 permanent value to us than they were 1 to antiquity without the brain and 1 brawn to exploit and develop them. Let us so create our organization
 that it will be a great moral force in public matters. Through which | needed reforms can be made in gov
 ernmental matters, and the way for | our public officials to best and most
 economically perform their duties to
 our people be clarified and ms de
 more simple Through which our
 taxes may be reduced and capital
 and sturdy and dependable home builders encouraged to unite their 1 fortunes with ours.
 1 Let us pledge this organization to an understanding as broad and com prehensive as that shown by the old | Kentucky colonel when he with feel | ing said: ''All women are beautiful
 to me, even though I, like every other man, think one woman is more
 beautiful than the others"
 And let us plant within the minds
 of the men charged with the work of planning. developing and operating | . l,S- lan 1rdf | ciple of cooperation which is: Men
 cannot successfully cooperate for | any purpose if their sole object is
 self-interest.
 Mir Hereford's address brought the morning session to close. Within a few minutes buffet lunch was
 served, and for an hour the delegates l discussed the mornings work. Act l ing as ushers during the session and

 holds in particular, he introduced C.

 Address of C. s. Brown
 1 Gentlemen: I must express my ap- iat if q a q this where representatives of the ma jor industries of Arizona are met to 1 better understand each others prob 1 lems to the end that we may all work more wisely and effectively toward Isecuring greater happiness and pros perity in our state. I am fully cog nizant of the value of CO., ordination of our ideas and plans and our efforts toward working in unison to put Ari-
 zona in her rightful place may well begin with a remembrance of Elmer sons statement that cooperation is life while strife is death.
 l I want to remind you that profit able agriculture is essential 10 na tional prosperity. When agriculture fails to thrive the basis of general 1 well being is gone and depression surely results. few words of ex- planation of the Farm Bureau move
 ment will be timely. for that organiza- l tion, with constructive policies, con- 1 servative leadership and a will to profit by the mistakes of the past is one of the most important and neces- I sary factors in the return of perma- l nent nation wide prosperity. I want you to realize that we are all in dire | need of a healthy condition in our agricultural industries whether our
 immediate avocations are behind
 desks or blows
 | The Farm Bureau movement began I q decade ago with the organization

 agricultural agent system were fore most among the efforts of the earl! organizations. The rapid increase o , County Farm Bureaus was fortunat' for, during the war, the. Farm Bureal
 offered the most direct connection
 with farmers through which the gov : ernment could work in applying it ? agricultural program County Earn ! Bureaus soon found that many mat 2 ters of immediate importance wer statewide in nature and accordingly l formed, State Farm Bureau Fedora tions For the same reason the stat federations affiliated nearly tv years ago into a big national organi . zation called the American Earn 9 Bureau Federation. Particularl [ promising features of the Farm Bu y Teau are it's organization from tn r bottom up rather than from the to e down, and it's constructive policies.
 The basic intent of the Farm Blu g reau is in line with the broad agri s cultural policies of our federal gov r ernment. The department of agri
