Exchange large sum of money was raised
and publicity writer employed to direct
printed attacks on the effort.
As instructed by the meeting of October
s, President Howard of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, appointed a
Committee of IS to investigate these
live stock market problems and work out
a producers plan for the cooperative
marketing of live stock. The members
of this committee were chosen because OF
their extensive experience and their con-
structive ability. They were:

'tJin and john

"Howdy, Jim."
'Howdy, John"
And that's about all there is to it when
member of the Farm Bureau from-well
anywhere-meets the President and Sec
rotary of the American Farm Bureau
Federation.
"Tim" is President and his last name is
Howard.
"John' is Secretary and his last name
is Coverdale.
Both are Iowa farmers who have been
chosen to head this new organization of
farmers which has been so much in the
limelight lately. We tell about them in
particular for they are typical of the other
officers of the American Farm Bureau
Federation. They are all farmers, actual
and substantial farmers, and the exact
opposite of professional agttators and pro-
motors of the type that have so often had
a hand in farm movements in the
past And most persons think that much
of the success of the Farm Bureau can
be traced to this simple but all-important
fact.
Tim Howard was born and reared on an
lowe farm. After leaving college he tried
his hand at teaching for awhile, spent
enough time in a country newspaper Office
to recognize the smell now whenever he
encounters it, was cashier of bank at
New Providence, Iowa, and for the last
fourteen years he has done nothing but
farm on his 480-acre tract in Marshall
county, Iowa.
John Coverdale, too, is from the state
where the tall corn grows" He gave
up his work as county agent leader in
Iowa to be Secretary of the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
And although they both have glass
topped desks at the Offices of the Fedora
ton at So E. Washington Street, Chicago
they are seldom there, for most of their
time is spent out talking to the farmers
in different sections of the country and
answering in a whole-hearted tone the
greetings that are given them every
where owdy, Jim" and "Howdy,
John"

all the money paid into its treasury by its
member associations. After paying the
dividend and all expenses the marketing
company had a surplus of several thousand
dollars Its total receipts and commits
sions amounted to only $73, 360.8S from
August to December 31st, but the divi-
dend paid amounted to $1o,12422. The
total business for the FIVE months
amounted to 2o5,o12 head of live stock
with a gross value of more than S., 000,-
10000.
President John G. Brown has predicted
that at least twelve important live stock
markets will find Farmers Cooperative
Commission Association operating within
their domain under the National Live
Stock Producers Association Plan within
the next twelve months. Mr.. Brown
declares that the taking over by the far
mers of the activities connected with the
marketing Of their live stock does not offer
ANYTHING new or "Bolshevik." It is the
usual, rather than the unusual, for manu-
facturers or rather producers, Of raw
products to sell the output Of their own
plants or mines. The farmer is manu-
facturer, and surely his being producer
Of raw products cannot be denied. He
appeals to producers everywhere to take
q lesson from efficient business concerns
and establish and support farmer-owned
and farmer-controlled marketing agencies
for live stock wherever live stock Is grown
in the United States.

FARMERS IN CONVENTION
n Little Story of a Meeting
IN Chicago

Time-March, 1920.
Place-The Gold Room in the LaSalle
Hotel, Chicago.
Persons Farmers.
There is really nothing remarkable
about a meeting of farmers. If stories
had been written about every meeting
at which farmers had been the only ones
present the entire LaSalle hotel would not
be large enough to hold them ALL
But it was significant that, in the sec
ond largest city in the United States, and
in one OF the busiest centers of that city,
the farmers from over the entire country
should be convened to discuss the prob
lens of the farm.
And even more significant than the
setting, the men present, and the time,
we're the things that took shape during
the meeting, for it was at this meeting
that the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton was born. Twenty-eight organized
states with membership of 456, 900 for
mally ratified the constitution of the
national organization and went on record
as having made for themselves an organi-
cation which would do for the farmers
collectively what they could never hope
to accomplish individually.
In short, the farmers had organized.
When the second annual convention
was held in December, 1920, in Indian
apolis, 40 states had become members and
the paid-up membership was 744 ,401.
The third annual convention, in At
lanta, Ga, in November, 1921, reflected
the interest that had been aroused by the
organization, and its powerful potential
influence was decidedly evident. There
were now 46 states in the American Farm
Bureau, and oo7 ,27o members. Things
we're not SO much in the future as at the
other conventions Actual accomplish
meats that meant dollars and cents to the
farmer were proudly recited.
Legislative measures which had been
sponsored and backed by the Farm Bureau
were held up as justification of farmer
organization and proof of its efficiency.
Farmers had at last made for them
selves an organization which was being
run in business-like manner and which
could show results at time when results
were most needed.
And so, after all, while the meeting at
Chicago was significant, it was not re-
markable, for the farmers of the United
States were only coming into their own.
And they had found it entirely to their
liking.

Like the u. S. Grain Growers (the far
mers' cooperative grain marketing BODY,
this organization Of forward-looking live
etock farmers, for the protection of their
own interest and that of the public, was
conceived in the anguish of bitter neces-
sity. The practices INDUCED in at the
marketing points has made the producers
business a gamble with the odds always
against him. There has been no stability
about the stockman's earnings largely
because of the uncertainty of the market
and. by the time the commission men take
care of themselves, he is usually out of
financial luck
1t cost the live stock producers of the
country last year an estimated $28, 643, 107
In commissions for the handling of their
products in the sixty-nine markets of the
United States. According to the Bureau
Of Markets and Crop Estimates of the
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1922-06-29

u. S. Department of Agriculture, the
shipments for the year were: 14,3lo,l4
cattle, 5.476,649 calves; Al, 1905 hogs,
24.168.O32 sheep. The farmers raised
them and fed them and footed all the mar
keting bills.
Cut Charges In Half.
BY actual experience it has teen deter
mined that these commission charges can
be sliced in half Non-producers then
fattened their pocketbooks to the extent
of at least half this amount or $14,321-
$500 for handling this stock. Does this
not represent economic waste! Why should
the producer not save this halt OF his
commission charges by having his business
handled at the yards through an organiza-
fion of which he is an integral part!
And an excess of handling charges by
the old line commission firms is not all.
There have been many other harmful
features of the present system OF live stock
marketing from the standpoint of the
producer. One of the most important
bf these is the uncertainty of getting ade-
auate prices. Many farmer ships his
stock expecting to obtain prices current
at the date of shipment. He often fails
because the same prices current that in
spired him to ship had the same effect on
thousands of other shippers, and the con-
sequence was glutted market and falling
prices.
To Stabilize Prices.
The important questions were how to
overcome all these injustices and stabilize
prices. The answer apparently lay in
national co-operation-but who was going
TO take the initiative in bringing it about3
J.R. Howard, President of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, and his associ-
ates had their ears to the ground for many
months and knew the justice of the COM
plants of their live stock producer men,
eers. In fact several members of the
Board of Directors were growers them
selves. Mr.. Howard called a meeting

one. Bona fde stockmen were present
and every angle of the situation was dis.
cussed. Immediate action was deemed
necessary and President Howard was re-
quested to cali live stock conference fol-

The conference met in response to Presi-

deliberations were marked with splendid
enthusiasm. The meeting had scarcely
adjourned when the exchange men began
to demonstrate their desire to clear their
skirts of any and all charges. Their at
tempts to justify themselves and their
methods did not interfere, however, with
the development of the live stock pro-
ducers' plans, At the Chicago Live Stock
