TO The FARMER
Hits Nail On Head In Advocacy OF
Farm Bureau

The man who will not help him
self cannot reasonably expect others
to bestir themselves to great ex-
tent in his behalf.
Furthermore, the man who deter
mines that he will help himself, but
who refuses to assist others will soon
find that his efforts are greatly cir
eumscribed The mutual dependence
of people is becoming more and more
pronounced with the passing of the
years, and even in ancient times CO.
operation proved an Indispensable fac
tor in the truly great projects. The
great temple in Jerusalem, for ex-
ample, erected under the supervision
of King Solomon, was not the pro
duct of one family or one tribe of
the Israelites. Thousand of people
from various sections had a definite
part in that stupendous task and all
of them shared the blessings which
it afforded.
Some farmer may reason" sub
stantially in his wise: "Wen, will
hoe my own row. The Farm Bureau
may need me but don't need the
Farm Bureau" 1t would be difficult
to find a more illogical or untenable
position. Really successful farmers
everywhere will tell you that the man
who expects to operate his business
on the plan of "Me and my wife and
my son, John, his wife, US four, no
more" will fall far short of the mark
of success. The Farm Bureau has
been of tremendous aid to farmers
throughout the country, and it will be
of infinitely greater value, its value
increasing in degree TO which its
membership may be increased. OF
course the farmer can assist the Blu
reau-but the farmer will be an even
greater beneficiary than the Bureau

sary to secure efficient organization,

was a brief one, and in substance
stated what the farmers of America

ARE ALL IN Line
Mr.. Wilmer Is Talking And Working
For Success of Bureau In
Charles
CBy Joseph wilmer)


Every community in Charles Coun-
ty will be visited during the next few
weeks by solicitors and given an OPP
portunity to join the Farm Bureau.
Large posters, picturing a farmer
backed by composite membership
and bearing the caption Forward
Farm Bureau" have been decorating
the countryside and town for the past
week
Every farmer has been prepared
for the invitation Of the Farm Bureau
solicitors by information sent out
from headquarters. A booklet, telling
the story Of how a farm family came
into the Farm Bureau, was mailed
soon after the posters appeared on
the fences and telephone poles. A
folder advertisement followed this,
the County Farm Bureau has written
letter to each farmer urging him
to join.
Fourteen different meetings will be
held in the County under the super
vision of the County organizers, the
State Farm Bureau Federation and
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, where the work and plans of the
Farm Bureau, County, State and Ma
tional, will be explained at each of
these meetings. Eighteen solicitors
and 10 farmers to drive them about
the County will be asked to volunteer.
These farmers are then assigned sec
tions to canvass and at the end of the
campaign every farmer outside the
Farm Bureau will have been visited
personally. The solicitors receive
two-day schooling on facts concern

home less complex. Thus the entire
family is included. Nearly all of the
meetings Of the local Farm Bureaus
have reereational features. There is
unlimited opportunity for the develop
ment of enjoyable, as well as helpful,
social activities in the local commune
ty clubs or township farm bureau
units.
Every rural community should have
some place where neighbors can come
together. Many communities have
Farm Bureau with fortnightly meet
ings at which topics of interest along
agricultural and economic lines are
discussed. Since the farmers wife and
children are members with him and
privileged to attend, the Farm Blu
reau meetings are the occasion for
a neighborly gathering. The leaders
suggest games and other activities in
which the whole family participates.
The conception of recreation as an
important part of rural life is age
old. The joy Of harvest as expressive
of glorifieation of achievement has
for hundreds of years found express
sion in harvest festivals. Because the
Farm Bureau is non-political and nom
seetrian it is an ideal medium through
which members of community learn
to know each other, play together,
and work with united effort.

hit. Why? Because we were not or
gained. The farmers are the LAST
to recover. Why? Because we are not
organized.
1t is interesting to note that the
farm communities that have perfected
organizations are fast recovering
from the depression.
What other counties have done
Charles County can do. All we need is
the DETERMINATION.
Nowhere is there better farm land
than in Charles, but maximum yields
will not be produced until we get to-
gether on dairying and livestock pro-
sct and economically increase the
fertility.
Nowhere are there better or more
intelligent farmers than in Charles,
but maximum progress will not be
made until their intelligence is pool
ed in one strong central organization.
Nowhere is there a finer or more
capable County Agent than in Charles
but maximum results will not be re-
allied from his efforts until every
farmer becomes live member of the
FARM BUREAU.
Nowhere are the business men OF
the towns any more appreciative OF
the farmers condition and more will
ling to lend their support than right
here in Charles, but we, the farmers
of Charles County, are the ones who
must realize our problem, we are
the ones who must get together anC
figure out the remedy, we are the
ones who must plan our course o.
action, and then follow It out. This
system works well for all other in
dustries, it works well for farmer.
in other counties, and it will worl
well for the farmers Of Charles.

To so purely an agricultural Coun-
ty the Farm Bureau means as much
as a rescue boat to a drowning man.
The Farm Bureau will work for the
advantage of the women equally with
the men. 1t will assist both the
housewife and the farmer in market
ing their products and it will make
generally for those eonveniences that
make farm life more pleasant.
Until very recent years women have
taken very little interest in organiza-
ton work.
During the past year the Charles
County Federation of Rural Women
has proven the value of organization.
Through combined effort plans have
been formulated and carried out for
a free County Library.
The experience and ability of the
women can now be drawn upon TO
make the Charles County Farm Blu
reau a success.
Since it means so much individually,
| hope every woman will take part in
the organization of the Farm Bureau
and assist in every way with its per
lection.

A REAL FARMER
TELLS YOU HOW
Charles County Farm Bureau Chair
man Is Strong Advocate OF
Organization

For just about three years now we
have cussed and discussed the farm
ing industry from every angle with
out remedying the distressing situa-
ton here in Charles one iota. Big fer
tilizer bills, adverse weather condi-
tons, poor crops, low prices, labor
troubles, and the exceedingly high
price of all manufactured commodi-
ties have combined to make farming
Improbable and discouraging.
Let's stop talking our troubles and
talk FARM BUREAU. To me that
is the biggest word in our vocabulary
today and means more to the Charles
County farmer and his family than
anything else that has come our way
in long, long time. AS l understand
it there is nothing mysterious about
the FARM BUREAU. 1t has no magic
power. We cannot pay our member
ship fee and then sit back and watch
the fairies correct all the evils which
beset US. But the thing we can and
should do is to join the FARM BU-
REAU and then pull shoulder to
shoulder with our neighbors until we
have restored the missing and much
needed thirty-two cents to our sixty
eight cent dollar.
So many times we have heard the
Question, "What is wrong with Agri-
culture?" Ny answer is, Lack OF
Cooperation" Practically every Other
industry is organized and If there is
any doubt about organization paying
just note the price you pay the next
time you make a purchase. Farmers
for the most part, work single handed
and our sixty-eight cent dollar is eyi
dence that this system is inefficien
and expensive
When the 1920 slump came, the far
mers were the FIRST ones hit. Why
Because we were not organized.
The farmers were the Hardest

is not restrained or prices unduly
raised. We need not be afraid of mo-
nopoly. For the protection of the pur-
chasing public a new set Of machin-
cry is erected which leaves it up to
the Secretary of Agriculture to de-
termine whether the law is being bro
ken by the co-operatives, and if it
is he will hale them into court For
instance, If the Secretary should find
that the association has restrained
trade so as to enhance the price I'M
duly he would order the association
to desist. Should the association con-
tinue to operate in a manner intend
ed to advance prices unduly the Sec
rotary after 30 days would bring suit
in the United States Court. The tes-
timony gathered by the Secretary
would be presented to this court to
expedite proceedings and the court
is given complete jurisdiction to mete
out justice.
This should settle the cry Of those
who wall about farmers keeping the
price up. When the farmer sells in
quantity he cuts down the cost of
sales. The expense saved is added to
his profits. The merchant should UNI
derstand the principle of cooperative
marketing. The grocer gets his goods
cheaper than he can afford TO sell
them because he buys in quantity. If
the wholesale houses sold one can of
beans or one hat at time they would
either have to operate without profit
or charge more. The farmer is tired Of
operating without profit but he does
not expect to charge more. His scheme
is to cut down overhead expense. The
legitimacy of his proposal is recog-
nized by the United States govern
ment. Efficiency by cooperation has
been practiced by all other industries
for some time.
Those who condemn farmers CO.
operative marketing associations can
now take their positions near the back,
just in front, please, of those who be-
lieve that the devil is in the fiddle
and dog always howls just before
somebody dies.

Why should | join the Farm Blu
reau? That question will be asked
many times during the next month
There is one sufficient answer to the
question that will satisfy any one. Be
cause we Farmers want to get to-
gether to help each other and the
Farm Bureau is the best medium
through which we can get together.
We will organize our local eommuni-
ties. In these communities we will
discuss questions that will concern
ourselves. There will come up ques-
tions which we as a community can
not settle. We must have the help of
our neighboring community. Our sew
eral Communities will get together as
a County unit. We will be able to get
things done in the County by being
organized which we cannot get done
in any other way. There will be some
questions that the County cannot set
tie They will be sent up to the State
Farm Bureau. The State is already
linked up with the National Farm Blu
reau. 1t will take time for the COM
munities to work up a good working
plan but we will start with the or
ganization and then with the desire
to advance we will have the machine
in which we can move along.
Shall we make our Community a
tin lizzy or a Super Six? That will
depend upon ourselves. We will go
just as fast and as far as we desire
to go. Until we get good roads we
may have to go in the tin lizzy but
as we get better acquainted with the
possibilities we will go at a super
six rate.
Egg circles will be formed in every
community and our eggs graded and
sold according to grade. Our tobacco
will be graded and sold according 20
grades Our lambs will be pooled and
sold just as soon as they will bring
the best price. We will get together
and send our cream up to the Cream
cry two or three times a week. These
are few of the possibilities.
have heard the statement this
week that Charles County Farmers
will never get together. What has
been done in other communities can
be done in the several communities of
Charles County. Our shoulders to the

what we want if we want it hard
enough.

When we read that women have
travelled over 10000 miles in year
in the interest of Home Bureau work
under the Farm Bureau as did Mrs.
A. G. Brigden of Rochester, New
York, there must be a most worth
while reason back of it all. Women
in other parts of the United States
have realized the advantages to be
gained through an organization that
has for its members the entire family;
father, mother, the boys and girls.
What other women have realized,
Charles County will realize too / am
sure. To me women are prone to re-
main silent, meekly submitting or
feebly protesting when reports con-
corning "the monotonous" round Of
hopeless drudgery in farm life are
noised abroad. The time for silence
is past. 1t is up to every farm woman
to take her rightful place to help her
self by helping others. The best chan
mel through which this help can come
is the American Farm Bureau, FEEDER
