The resolution follows:
Whereas, the closest relationship
exists between the Alabama farm
bureau federation, the extension SER
vice, and. the Alabama farm bureau
cotton association each being indes-
pensable to the other and regarded
by the members as virtually one and
the same, and,
Whereas, from recent articles in
the press of Alabama. and literature
mailed out, it has been made to APP
pear that there is a breach between
the Alabama farm bureau federation
and the extension service, and
Whereas, from reports made by all
directors present from their respec-
tive districts, it appears that there
is no such breach, but that all forces
are working in complete harmony in
the various districts, and,
Whereas. the attacks made on the
Alabama extension service. and es-
pecially Prof. L. n. Duncan, direc-
tor, by Charles w. Rittenour and Roy
c. Bishop were not authorized by
the executive committee of the Ala
bama farm bureau federation and
that these charges are very harmful
and without proper foundation.
BE it resolved. First that we
strongly condemn this attack by Mr.
acting as individuals and creating an
impression that there is a breach be-
tween the Alabama farm bureau
federation and the extension service
which is not true, and
Second, that we express our ap-
probation to the extension service of
the untiring and efficient service
which it is rendering to our assocfa-
tion and to the farmers of Alabama.
and express our complete confidence
in its methods and policies under the
leadership of Prof. L. N. Duncan.
