Bureau represents all the farmers
ard their voice counts because of the
very faet that Il is united voice.
When | read this definition Of The

] must investigate farther the nur-
poses OF the Barean % find out il its
service would lie Of real value to my
father and to er neighbors. find
enc thing the Bureau plans to es-
tabiished to cooperative marketing.
II this had been successful else where
can believe it would help my dad.
am wondering il that tomato crop
could not have been saved had this
organization been working and had
all our farmers been members. But
I realize it is to late to say what
miaht have been, rather what may
b. i he point 70 be considered.
ven ny Dad to join the Bureau as
sos rs he can. I want him to put
his shoulders TO the wheel in this
movement When all our FARMERS
do th S the Bureau will first estab-
lish q Cooperative Purchasing AS
aociatsoa in our county and then join
the State Cooperative Purchasing
Association.
The second aid the Bureau offers
is to teach my Dad better produc-
ton. Now have known him to grow
some fine crops but if can find out
how to produce better crops then |
say Hurrah for the Farm Bureau.
The third help is to teach these
farmers how to make the farm life
so attractive and the community so
fine that all the boys and girls wiA
be so proud of their home and COM
munity. l want our community SO
fine that our automobiles may wear
proudly the name of our community
on the back. AT present there are
manythings the Farm Bureau the
farmers in our community about bet
ter homes. better community build
ings, and better schools. How could
Dad expect me to be farmer unless
/ could live in a modern home2
found a poem in Farm knowledge
that l think sums up pretty well the
spirit that Dad and the rest Of tho
farmers need to learn from the Farm
Bureau am going 70 write those
lines for your consideration:
Boost your neighbor boost your
friend;
Boost the church that you attend;
Boost the Farm on which you're
dwelling;
I Boost the goods that you are SELL
ing;
Boost the people round about you;
They can get along with out you;
But success will quicker find them;
If they know you are behind them;
Boost for every forward movement;
Boost for every new Improvement;
4 Boost the stranger and neighbor;
Boost the man for whom you labour;
/ Cease to be chronic knocker
I Cease to be progress flocker;
II you'd make your township better,
/ Boost it to the final letter
! Stop your knockingl Boost
| How do you like that sentiment
1t is the thing that is going to make
! life worth while on the farm. Anoth-
/ err question arises in my mind. "How
can this be put over 2" There is only
! one way-become a member of the
Farm Bureau, attend the meetings
regularly, be eager to learn, be ready
to help, and be ready to boost This
is the spirit that will spell success
I Tor the farmers everywhere.
The aims as outlined by the Wor-
/ cesser County Bureau are to my mind
excellent Ny Dad should be in the
\ line to help accomplish them. Ger
tainly the Farmers need seed of the
I, best quality, fertilizer of the best
known ingredients, best feed for
stock, and all their supplies of the
best. My Dad should know how to
grade and pack his produce better
he should be member of this organi-
cation in order to know what crops
are most likely to be in demand, he
needs to line up so that he can sell
his produce to the best advantage.
If Dad will do this feel sure that
