URGES SUPPORT
Of ALL FARMERS
c. LARSEN. FORMERLY STATE
DIRECTOR OF EXTENSION.
BUREAU.

Huron. April 2T-"Stay BY the
farm buerau." That is the advice To
South Dakota farmers by c. Larsen.
formerly professor of dairy hus-
bandry and director of extension at
State college, but now head of the
dairy marketing department of the
Illinois Agricultural association.
Mr.. Larsen writes the Farm Bu-
reau federation in Huron that the
opportunity for organized farmers to
solve their many problems is now
the best ever Never before have
the best minds been set 10 work on
The farmers problems as now. and
never before have farmers all over
this country banded themselves to-
gether for this great work as now.
II farmers DO not now take the op-
porrunity they have. I fear that the
public sentiment in favor OF such a
farmers program viii not again be
presented in this generation.
"A strong representative farm
ers organization has been an out
standing need for many years. The
farm bureau came TO fill that need
This organization has for its foun-
dation the individual membership Of
the farmers These individual far
mers unOte TO for mthe county farm
bureau. The county farm bureaus
unite in the state farm bureau. and
the various state farm bureaus unite
10 form the American Farm Bu-
reau federation. The local farm
bureau presents a constructive and
interesting program of work. and
while this local program is being
carried ont. the state and national
farm bureau defrarions are looking
after the various needs of the COL
lec1ive farmers.
The great need of today in this
movement of organized agriculture
is for the individual farmers and the
county farm bureaus 10 hold steady
be loyal active and interested With
this support only can the state and
national farm bureau organizations
work out the large and, important
marketing problems. A systematic
and orderly marketing system for
grain. livestock. dairy and poultry
products is now being worked out.
Protection of agriculture. the
biggest business in the world. is the
big object to be accomplished. The
individual farmer cannot protect his
own business. but an association of
farmers in the farm bureau can.
Some have been agitating the g.
tablishing OF farmers retail stores.
farmers newspapers. farmers banks
etc Going into these phases of COM
merce will simply nix up the whole
problem of WORK and nothing ac-
complished. To attempt 10 retail
groceries. etc. IS too small job as
compared with the big problems of
marketing farm products. Let Us
solve the problem of production and
marketing farm crops rightly and
for all time 10 come. No one can
challenge such z program, for il is
strictly within the farmers own
field"

COUNTY BANKERS HOLD
 IMPORTANT SESSION
Get Together in Social Way and Hear Interesting Discussion of Busi-
 ness Problems.

There was 100es representation from Polk county banks at get-to- gether session held in Mena Satur- day night at the Elks Home. The af- fair was arranged by the Mena bank CTS for the purpose of meeting Robert Wait, secretary of the state bank CTS association, and Jack Bernhardt, former treasurer, but now field worker for the new Arkansas Cotton Marketing Association.
 The two visitors are touring the state and directing attention of the bankers to the new system proposed for the marketing of the states greatest agricultural crop. Mir. Bernhardt asked that the assembled financial leaders get q copy of the contract of the cotton marketing as- sociation, investigate it thoroly and study it's every provision so as to be able to advise their farmer clients. Mir. Bernhardt stated that in the eastern part of the state, where most of the Arkansas cotton is produced, the bankers generally are favoring the new cotton marketing plan
 Secretary Wait gave most inter- esting talk to the bankers and 8 DOT tion of it was important advice of a practical nature. One thing he hoped to see accomplished was the changing of the popular impression of a bank CT. He wanted the banker recognized as human being, business man, and not an oppressor or robber. To bring about this change the Little Rock man advised his fellow bankers to become Happy on the job," and gave number of ways in which this could be done.
 Preceding the talks by the visitors plate luncheon. arranged by the ladies, was served. the good things to eat having followed a short informal program of musical and literary num- bers. in which Misses Naomi Pryor, Kathleen Robert, Mary Cornell, Ethel.
