FARM BUREAU IDEA
THRIVES In FRANCE
French Producers Unite In National
Federation To Push
Cooperation.
MINNESOTA FARM BUREAU
NEWS SERVICE
BY NEIL H. SWANSON


Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation
The farm bureau movement, we'll
established in this country, has its
counterpart across the Atlantic ocean
according to a report sent out this
week to officers Of the county farm
bureau by the Minnesota federation.
Farmers throughout France have
united in an organization strikingly
similar to the farm bureau federation
in the United States, the statement
said. The French farmers federation
has just been investigated by Thomas
F. Hunt, dean of the college of ag-
riculture of the University of Cali
fornia. The result Of his inquiry is
reported in a statement by the farm
bureau federation as follows:
France has an organization some
what similar to the American Farm
i Bureau Federation. The chief point
of difference is that the $50 adhering
groups lack unifority of name, pur-
pose and plan of organization, all OF
which will doubtless be a source OF
weakness. The American Farm Bur
eau Federation is fortunate in hav-
| ing a simple, direct and uniform sys-
! tenn of membership.
| "The French Federation is known
as La Confederation Rationale des
i Associations AgricOles and is usually
referred to as the G. N. A. A. That
symbol stands for a great deal today
Backed by a group of aggressive but
careful thinkers, this Federation has
developed a spirit of solidarity among
farmers heretofore unknown.
France has had for many years
at least for more than decade,
national agricultural extension sys
tenn with trained men in each of its
SO departments, corresponding close
ly to our county agents. In France
the county agent is known as th'
Professor of Agriculture"
Realizing the grave problems
growing out of the Great War, thu
C. N. A. A, was organized on Octobel
22nd, 1919, with Jules Ganties, al
unusually keen-minded man of th'
idealisitc type as president, and Hen
ry Girard, a prosperous and well
known farmer operating about 1,5O(
acres within short distance Of Paris
as secretary-general. The G. N. A
A. has given attention to better meth
DDS of Standardization; more freedom
of action on the part Of cooperative
associations, especially in the buying
of supplies; reforms in Inheritance o
farm property, especially in the de
vastated area; and the introduction
of motor culture to Offset the lack o
man-power. These are burning ques
tions in France, much discussed b.
public men both in and out of legis
lative bodies"

st. Paul, July Z: Minnesota cream
cries which have co-operated in ship
ping dairy products in carload lots
during the last few weeks have saved
from 80 to As cents a hundred pounds
in freight charges. A. J. Mcclure, Or
ganization manager for the new state
wide cooperative creameries associa-
ton, said today.
Saving in freight costs through
carload shipments proves that CO.
operation on statewide scale, as
planned by the new association, is an
assured success, he said. Mr.. Nc
Guire and J. S. Jones, organization
directors for the Minnesota Farm
Bureau federation, are mapping Z, a
campaign through which in the next
six months, every cooperative cream
cry in the state will be given a
chance to join the Minnesota Cooper
ative Creameries Association. Inc.
Service is the purpose Of the new
marketing agency" Mr.. Mcclure
said. 'The first work of the organi-
zation will be to help the creameries
to federate in district units. Cream
cries within these districts will work
together in cream grading, to i'm
prove the quality of butter manufact-
ured, standardize the butter, and ship
in carlots. Every district will have
it's local government, with a member
on the state board of directors. Poll
cies and activities of the state agency
will be controlled by the districts.
"The new state agency, far from
being designed to take away inf1u-
ence from the local cooperative
creamery, is working solely toward

section. Keep your section smooth"
he urged, because the public
judges road by it's riding and haul
ing qualities"
Patrolmen numbered 1909 on the
last payroll in the highway depart
ment, and the list is growing rapidly
as more men are added to provide
one for each S to mile section in
the state. Every patrolman is
equipped with team or tractor,
grader, drags and other tools, and
must give 10 hours a day to his road
work.
First general, statewide benefits
under the Babcock plan are being
spread by this big maintenance
organization for which $3,000,0OO is
apportioned this season, according to
w. F. Rosenwald, chief maintenance
engineer. New construction in many
scattered sections will result in
special benefits, he said, but the
maintenance reaches every mile of
the 1000 mile system.
The placing of more than 1000
patTolmen on the trunk routes in
every part of Minnesota in less than
80 days is cited by friends of the
good roads movement as further
evidence Of the speed with which the
highway department is handling the
big task of promptly launching the
great highway development plan.

STATE IS NOW IRONING
ALL TRUNK HIGHWAYS
Highway Department Announces
Lists of Road Patrolmen for
This Section

Under it's performance first
policy" the Minnesota Highway
Department is making fairly COM
plete lists in this and other
districts of road patrolmen, many of
whom have been on the job weeks
and longer.
Patrolmen on Minnesota Trunk
Highways in this Section follow:

Morris; Peter Schouweiler, Norris;
Nels J. Johnson, Hancock; Peter

The placing of maintenance patrol
men marks the taking over Of trunk
highways by the state and the end
Of the period during which counties
have been forced to spend the greater
part of their road and bridge funds
to repair and improve these main
roads. Local road authorities now
will have more funds and time to
devote exclusively to so-called
farmers roads connecting with the
trunk routes. Officials agreed that
the new plan should bring marked
improvement in the condition of all
roads in the state.

the highway department, announced
at the outset that the employment

Inspect Work

During the past week several
prominent agricultural workers WIS.,
tied Morris to inspect the expert
mental work at the West Central

Quoted at the West Central Station

Hirsh a specialist in plant diseases,
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture spent two days in Norris last
week investigating the many varie-
ties of rust resistant wheat and other
small grains which are being grown
at the station.
Much progress is being made by
the Minnesota Experiment stations
in producing rust resistant wheat and
authorities now believe that in the
not distant future varieties Of wheat
will be produced which will largely
reduce the damage now being caused
by stem rust. Professor Andrew Boss,
Vice Director of the Minnesota
Experiment Station, spent Wednes.

work. Professor A. c. Army. Chief
Agronomist for the University De-

Waseca experiment station in south

pronounced the work being done at
Morris and the general appearance Of
the Station equal to any work that
is now being done in the Northwest.
