Bradfute Say. Effort. Of Farm

Cooperative Marketinglin 1923

which can be rendered is help in more
successfully and prof1tably marketing
farm products. This undoubtedly
means cooperative marketing and
may be applied to every type of farm
production and thus render q real
service to each and every farmer in
America. There is, therefore, being
organized a special department of
marketing in our Office here to be
headed by Walton Peteet, of Dallas,
Tex, one Of the strongest men of the
country available for that work. He
will be ably supported by such as
sistants as he may need.
Successful cooperative marketing
means bringing into play all the other
departments of the American Farm
Bureau Federation. The departments
of organization, information, research.
transportation and legislation will be
called on and used to assist in this
great work. Each can render eff
cient help.
This work can only succeed with
the aid Of each and every one Of our
members. Let each one make good
use Of the facilities being set up for
your use and stand by it. Let the
slogan for the year be:
Service! The opportunity, Coop
erative Marketing!
$50, forward, Farm Bureau"
am counting on every member to do
his share.

Pres. Am. Farm Bureau Federation
Chicago, Jan 31.-While some o.
the shadows of the clouds Of 1925
have passed away and agriculture is
In some respects in better shape than
for the past two years, there yet re-
mains much to be done before we
reach a proper level as compared with
other Industries and commodities.
I am convinced that our greatest
aid In the past year came from within
our own ranks, and that in the future
We will find self-help our greatest re-
lance.
Agriculture will not and cannot
succeed except through organization
and cooperation.
Agriculture must be put on its feet
again and the business made so at
tractive that our young men will re-
main on the farms. That problem is
one for the American Farm Bureau
Federation to help solve for the Am
erican farmer.
No one who attended the last an
nual meeting could help but realize
that the American Farm Bureau
Federation was there setting up some
stakes to mark out straight furrow
for the accomplishment of few very
definite purposes during the coming
year.
The Farm Bureau poses as serv-
ice organization. Without doubt the
greatest and most immediate service

tity of the larger Sizes" says the re-
port Of Mr.. Evans, land furthermore
it is probable that the (domestic)
market tributary to this field will be
so exacting that only the larger sizes
can be marketed successfully"
Successful development and OPP

careful management and a through
understanding Of the engineering prob

a field that has coal beds pitched at
high angles and in which the coal is
more or less friable and the formation
disturbed by faulting."
IF this field is properly developed,
it should produce fuel at less cost
to the cities and towns of that part
Of Idaho, and in this manner stimulate
further industrial development. With
this increased development there
should be an increasing market provi-
ded for the coal. However, the great
problem at present is the market for
the smaller sizes at good prices"
Development and operating prob

in the almost vertical dip of the coal

bility Of excessive faulting at depth.

THE picture should serve as an

fidelity to history and facts, its
romantic portrayal of the building
