1914 to 551 600 members. The boys
and girls clubs have as their goal 5,000,o 600

Gray Silver is the Washington Repre-
sentative of the American Farm Bureau
Federation. His office is in the Munsey
Building, Washington, and he watches
what is going on at both ends Of Pennsyl-
vania Avenue. 1t was Gray Silver who
organized the Agricultural Bloc in Con-
gross and thereby got passed and signed
more bills that the farmers were asking for
than were ever passed by any Congress
since the gavel first fell in the old capitol
in Philadelphia.
Gray Silver is a farmer, and lives at
Martinsburg, w. Va, where his apple
orchards arc famous. He was born in
1871 at White Hall, Va. He owns and
operates orchards and general farms in the
Shenandoah Valley, and also in Illinois and
Arkansas. He breeds Shorthorn cattle
and Shropshire sheep, and ships carloads
of cattle, wool, apples, rice, wheat and
corn. Mr.. Silver is president of federal
farm loan association, director in farm
ers' mutual fire insurance company, and
director in a farmers mutual telephone
company. For two terms he WAS a state
senator in West Virginia.
When the American Farm Bureau
Federation was organized, Gray Silver
was picked out to represent the new
farmers movement in Washington. He
has made good, too-because both Repub-
licans and Democrats are his friends and
because he champions the cause of our
farmers and does not admit partisan pref.
udices to interfere.

PRESIDENT HARDIN
SPEECH at the National Agricul-

PRESIDENT HARDING'S
SPEECH at the National Agricul-
tural Conference gave some good
reasons why the Farm Bureau is
needed by the farmers today.
In comparing agriculture with
other business, he said:
"T'he farmer who owns his farm
is capitalist, executive and laborer
all in one. As capitalist he earns
the smaller return on his investment.
As executive he is little paid; and
as iaborer he is greatly underpaid
in comparison to labor in other &C.
equations"
President Harding also asserted
that a study of the cooperative
movement shows, that the farmer
is as good business man as any
other when he has his chance; that
he is capable of organization, CO.
operation and coordination; that
he will apply sound methods TO his
business whenever he haa the
chance; that his credit can be better
established, his particular needs
of capital on terms suited to his re-
quirements can be met; that, these
things accomplished, he ceases to
be an underpaid laborer, an unpaid
executive, and capitalist with an
unremunerative investment.

serious than this, is the enormous economic
loss due to the breakage of more than FIVE
million dollars worth of eggs every year.
The Transportation Department has sent
out bulletin to all the states and agri-
cultural papers calling attention to the
need of very carefully packing egg ship
ments, and is also preparing to take further
steps to reduce this loss, which in the end,
illogical as it may seem, is taken from the
pocketbook both of the consumer and OF
the farmer.
Faulty refrigeration in the transporta-
ton OF perishable products of the farm
causes loss TO the farmer and to the pub
lie OF not less than two million dollars per
year Every possible means is being
used to persuade the carriers to increase
their supply of refrigerator cars and also
to improve our present methods of hand
ling products.
A Conference Held.
A transportation conference was held
in Chicago last October. At this meeting
the representatives of the various organi-
cations worked out definite program of
work to be undertaken by the national
organization, as we'll as by the state organ
izations, which would avoid duplication
and overlapping of effort. In general,
the Transportation Department Of the
national organization is to conhne itself
to national problems and to collect in
formation on such subjects as inland
waterways; motor truck transportation;
improvements which will add to the safety,
economy and speed of transportation, and
to serve as clearing house Of information
for the states. The states through their
transportation departments are to handle
all local questions, to serve as sources Of
information for the national Office and
to handle all immediate problems OF the
farmers, such as claims, securing equip
ment, elevator side tracks, stockyards,
etc. At the same time careful program
of cooperation was arranged so that either
the state or national organization can
secure the assistance of the other.
Organized Department.
The Transportation Department of the
American Farm Bureau Federation was
established in June, 1920, with Clifford
Thorne as director and c. b. Hutchings
as traffic manager. The impetus to or
ganize this department came from des-
peration of the farmers during the car
shortage of the west. During July and
August OF 1920, 100000 box cars were
ordered sent into western territory and
thirty-fve lake boats were induced to
carry grain to Buffalo on their way out to
sea.
The Transportation Department has
been continuously before the Interstate
Commerce Commission hearings ever
since.
NO one can deny our right to organize
for the more efficient marketing and dis
tribution of our farm products.
The offices of the county, state and
national farm bureaus are always open
to you. Pay them visit when you can.
The selling of any product is an opera
ton that demands specialists.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1922-12-01

These savings we're brought about in
several ways. The Farm Bureau got
railroad valuations FOR the purpose of COM
putting guaranteed earnings reduced by
the sum of 81 700, coo, 900. This of course
resulted in an annual saving of q per cent
on that amount or $102 900, 600. The
Farm Bureaus arguments in the grain
and live stock cases won the day, and
saved the farm shippers another $lO0 OO0,-
600 on their annual freight bill. Then a
petition was filed demanding immediate
reductions in freight rates on basic neces-
sites OF life, to be followed by further re-
duCtion as fast as savings i'll operating
expenses could be effected. This was fol-
lowed almost at once by the railroads an
nounCing voluntary reduction of 10 per
cent on agricultural commodities, clear
saving OF another Si3 100000. The ac-
Invites of the state Farm Bureaus in Sc
curing intrastate reductions on limestone,
fruit, molasses, etc, have saved the ship
pcrs at least enough to make up grand
total of billion year, or $50 per farm.
State Bureaus Active.
Much has been accomplished by the
state Farm Bureau acting in cooperation
with the American Farm Bureau in bring
ing about rcvisions of railroad rules and
regulations affecting farm products. For
instance, it seemed wise to make an
effort for substantial reduction in rates
on agricultural limestone within state
as a test case which other states might
follow At the request of the Traffic
Manager of the American Farm Bureau
Federation worked out a scale OF rates.
The railroads accepted it; it is lower than
anv other scale on agricultural limestone
within the nted States and is being used
by a majority OF the lines in several states
The Traffic Department has also made a
special survey OF the rates on agricultural
limestone in the southeast, the benefits
Of which are available to all the states in
that section.
4 history of the rates on cattle, hogs
sheep, horses, wheat, corn, oats, barley,
hay, eggs, poultry, butter, cheese and wool
has been prepared by this Department
together with history of the prices on
these articles at the various markets for
the Congressional Joint Commission OF
Agricultural Inquiry.
