WAYNE County Farm Bureau

Meetings in various parts of the county are
indicative OF the interest which farmers are TAX
ing in the many problems pertaining to their
industry. Their vital position in the economy of
the nation, as the producers Of the foodstuffs for
its inhabitants is fully appreciated by them, and
is beginning to be understood more fully by the
city dwellers.
Agriculture is still the basic industry of the
country and intimately related to its prosperity
and happiness. Everything that pertains to that
industry has therefore value not only to the
farmer himself but also to the manufacturer re-
taller and consumer. The millions who are en-
gagged in commerce and industry in its many
ranifications depend uron the farmers who raise
the foodstuffs to support them physically.
The urban dweller is approaching the prob
lem Of the farmer from sympathetic stand
point, to learn its details and to help in its solu-
ton by cooperating with him in removing
obstacles.

gresslve men of their industry in Indiana. It is
a noteworthy fact that the county always has
been substantial farming and manufacturing
unit Of the state. As far back as 1916, descrip-
lions of the county in state gazatteers called
attention to its rich agricultural districts and
to the presence Of large number of industries
IN its cities and towns.
The farming industry has not lost its COM
handing position in the years that have rolled
by, but has made many substantial advances.
The farm bureau has done much to strength
en- the farmer in his aim to make his industry a
strong factor in our community life. It's men,
bers constantly are on the alert to improve their
condition, realizing that every progressive move
ment which they launch is bound in the end to
help everyone else in the community.
The agricultural industry had much to con-
tend with in the readjustment period and it still
has important problems ahead of it, which it
hopes to solve. Through this organization farm
ers have a medium of expressing their opinions
collectively and of assisting each other in work
ing out projects that are of common interest
and benefit.
The growth Of the federation has been 4
source Of gratifying pride to its members The
opinion Of its officers that all farmers should be
members is sound one. The organization is
beneficial to all of them not only as individuals
but also as members of an industry which must
produce the food to feed the nation.
