Mr.. LANCASTER Is A
BOOSTER OF BUREAU

(By S. S. Laneaster)

1t should not be necessary to have
70 produce any arguments for the or
ganization of farmers. It is their duty
to feed and clothe the world, and they
should get margin of profit in doing
so. This is big job, and it goes with
out saying that big undertakings, to
be successfully accomplished, should
be organized. We are all servants of
civilization, and farmers cannot serve
civilization or themselves without or
ganization There are about 1880
farmers in Charles County, represent
ing far greater capitalization than
that of any other business, and they
have no nationally organized body to
speak for them. No other business is
thus left to drift
The purpose of the Farm Bureau is
to establish an organization of the
farmers, by the farmers, for the
farmers, and financed and differed
by farmers, to speak for all the farm
ers in the councils of the State and
Nation.
There are now about 100000
memberships in the forty-six States
that are members of the American
Farm Bureau Federation. That of it.
self is power. They are paying fees
from So to s15 per year, most Of
them for life.
Some folks think this is a lot Of
money. Let US see. The BARRIERS In
ion charges s25 per year, the Miners
Union S37 to $50, the Conductors
Brotherhood $35 to SIS, and the Coal
Miners from SIS to s35. Their capital
consists of a few articles, generally |
of small value. The farmers capital? !
1t is his home, his business, his all,
producing in the County much more
than any other business. Sixty-fige /
per cent of the Bureau membership
fee will be used at home in the coun-
ty. Thirty-five per cent will go to sup
port the State and American Fedora
tons.
Now what will the State and Amer
lean Federations do with this money?
They propose to employ men expert
enough at shipping, at rate making,
at packer control, and at selling our
products to ascertain the proper
courses to pursue and to get the far
mer his just dues on these and other
There will be much leg
islative work also for these organiza-
tions to accomplish.
Since the farmer grows grain, fruit,
live stock. and many other products,
he must defend himself in the market
places buying his raw material or
in selling his products. The necessary
machinery for this must be locally
provided. 1t is the business of the
farmer to produce not necessarily
more, but to produce economically and
to improve quality. He wants better
live stock, better seeds, and up-to-date
His wife wants as good
equipment in the house as the man
has in the fields. 1t is up to the farmer
and his wife to provide better commu-
nifty service in the way of roads,
schools and churches. The duty of
the County Agent and of the Home
Demonstration Agent is to help bring
all these things to pass, each working

JOIN THE FARM
BUREAU PROMPTLY

be invited to join the Farm Bureau.
All plans are carefully laid for the
big membership drive. You will hear
little else for the next month, and
after that you will be working in your
County Farm Bureau, State Farm
Bureau, and The American Farm Blu
reau to accomplish for agriculture ia
an organized way what no man can
do for himself alone.

EUROPE CATCHES UP
/ IN FOOD PRODUCTION
Farm Economists Find Foreign
Demand Weak.

Meeting upon the invitation Of Sec
rotary of Agriculture Henry 0. Wal
lace in Washington, a committee of
economists issued an important state
ment as to the agricultural outlook.
H. W. Moorehouse. director of re-
search, represented the American
Farm Burean federation In the CON
ference. The statement follows:
From the point Of view Of Ameri-
can agriculture, foreign demand IS
practically identical with European
demand European countries consti-
tute the only significant markets for
American agricultural products.
1t needs to be emphasized at the
outset that demand is not measured
solely by the volume Of exports. Since
the year 1920 Europe has purchased
very large quantities Of American
wheat and meat. but this does not
mean that the European demand for
such commodities has been an intense
demand. regardless of price. The
truth Is that Europe would and could
take large quantities of American
wheat only provided the price was rel
atively low. In studying demand we
are therefore concerned both with Bu-
ropean requirements for food and
European ability to purchase the food
required at prices satisfactory to
American producers.
Three primary factors viii deter
mine European demand: ~ the es-
sential food requirements, which de-
pend in part upon crop conditions In
Europe; (2) the competition Of other
food-produclng areas with the United
States, and (s) the purchasing power
OF Europe.
European Production Of Foodstuffs.
The European nations are gradu-
ally approaching their prewar level
in agricultural production, especially
importing nations which are endeay-
oring to make themselves Independent
Of outside food supplies. Twenty-one
countries that in 1909 to 1913 har>
vested an average Of 100000 acres
Of wheat decreased to 5s,O00,0O0 acres
in 1920, and then rose again to 60,0O0,-
900 In 1922. Eleven countries that har-
vested 100000 acres In 1920 and
81, $4,000 acres In 1922 have reported
52,1s0,Oo0 acres for 1923. Moreover,
crop conditions are much more favor
able this year. Revival Of production
in Europe is much more manifest in
agriculture than IN manufacture.

Out For A Record

It has been suggested that we make
record for the state while we are
at it, The suggestion has met with
the hearty approval of the farmers
who have talked 1t over, the county
officials, the town business men who
are interested in seeing the farmers
organize and prosperous, and who
have pride in seeing this county
lead in everything it undertakes. The
State record will not be made on to-
tai membership, but on the percent
age of our farmers who sign up in
the Farm Bureau campaign. All right
