G. H. POWELL LAUDS FARM BUREAU DRIVE G. Harold Powell, general manager of the California Fruit Exchange, has just issued a letter to the membership of the exchange suggesting the gigantic power behind the Farm Bureau organization. He like many other leaders of co-operative associations, sees the possibilities in store for the farmers of the nation. He says: "It has come to my notice that the various County Farm Bureau are at this time engaged in a membership campaign. I desire to urge upon exchange members the importance of affiliation with the Farm Bureau and participation in the benefits which this organization confers upon an industry. "The Farm Advisor-Farm Bureau system, constituting the recognized medium thru which the extension work of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, and the various states Colleges of Agriculture is done, is today undoubtedly the greatest educational movement affecting American agriculture today." Launched only 10 years ago this coming March, there are today more than 2000 counties in some 43 states in which County Farm Bureaus have been organized and are at work on the problems confronting their farming interests, in sympathetic cooperation with the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, and the State Coll. of Agriculture, as represented by the Farm Advisor, County Club leader, and Home Demonstration Agent. The membership in these Farm Bureaus is estimated to be approximately 1,500,000 farmers. In more than 40 states the County Farm Bureaus have formed state federations which constitute among the most influential farmers' organizations in the various states, and a little more than a year ago 33 state federations met together in convention and organized the American Farm Bureau Federation, generally recognized by the press, by legislative bodies, by governmental agencies, and by organized business as the most influential farmers' organization in the history of this country. "The California plan of Farm Bureau organization resembles the Exchange system in many respects." Announcement! —We have taken charge of the repair shop of the Auburn Agency, 236 W.

Of Farm Bur-bles the Ex-try respects. It has for its unit the local farm center, an association of the most representative and progressive farmers of the community for mutual co-op-operation in the improvement of the agriculture of the district. The farm center each year adopts a program of work which is arrived at thru community self-analysis. Here lies perhaps the greatest element of strength in the Farm Bureau organization — its activities articulate directly back to each community. Those farm centers together constitute the County Farm Bureau which is governed by a board of directors made up of the presidents of the local farm centers. The state and national federations are simply enlargements on the same plan of organization. "Many exchange members are already affiliated with the Farm Bureau but I believe that the citrus industry would be benefited, as well as the individual, if there were a greater membership on the part of the citrus growers. "The Farm Bureau is not only of the greatest assistance in tying in the work of our state and federal institutions with the actual work of the individual growers, but the influence which the national and state Farm Bureau exert upon public policy questions directly affects our citrus industry. "I, therefore, suggest that our Exchange members give this matter serious consideration, and I hope that a much larger membership will be developed in the Farm Bureau and that our own people will take an active part in the determination of its activities and the shaping of its policies." MEMBERSHIP DRIVE PROVING SUCCESS "The reports coming in from the membership committees in the various districts throut the county are in the majority of cases very encouraging, indeed," said H. B. Woodrough, director of membership for the Orange-co Farm Bureau. "The outstanding feature of the campaign so far has clearly demonstrated that a firm belief in the ability of farmers to maintain an organization is absolutely essential on the part of the solicitor. He must be induced with equitable distribution of the products of the soil—that community betterment can only be attained through mass effort and that by becoming a member of the Farm Bureau he is the real beneficiary. In the districts where co-operation in its full sense has been tried out the very best results are obtaining; on the other hand in those communities where personal differences and factional disputes have held the floor it is harder to get the idea of real co-operation to take hold. Any observing man or woman can see on every hand practical evidence of what organization has done for all lines of business and at times it seems very strange that the farmer, representing the greatest industry in the world, is slow in seeing what he can accomplish for himself by the same method. The results reported so far by the different committees assure an active membership for the Farm Bureau that will mean a much stronger organization than in the past and it is my firm belief that we will reach our goal. DAIRYMEN GREATLY IMPROVING HERDS The Babcock test as carried out by the Farm Bureau cow tester has been one of the chief factors in demonstrating the fact that too large a percentage of dairy cows in Orange-co are kept at an actual loss to their owners. With milk scales and a testing outfit the cow tester carries on semi-official work and shows the dairyman just what each cow in his herd is producing. In this way those cows which do not return a good profit or those which are not paying for their feed can easily be located and culled out. In looking around thru some of the largest herds in Orange-co some real progress is being made along these lines. F. T. Altken, a member of the Cowtesting Assn., has made a big im-provement in his herd within the past few months. In August he was milking 28 cows and since then has sold eight head but is getting more pounds of butter fat from his present herd of 20 and he says this was accomplished by testing and culling. Plavan and Stringer, owners of a good grade herd near Talbert, had a average of 19 pounds-butter fat in September and last month's report shows herd average of 35 pounds are exactly the same number of cows due to more scientific feeding and management. One of the strongest advocates is "test—don't guess" principle is J. Kelly, one of the largest milk producers in the county. He was milking 45 head and discovered 13 boards from his records. After selling this number he only reduced his production 12 gallons a day. At present feed prices this alone amounted to saving of about $60 a month. Mike Babylon, a well known breeder of Holstein-Fresian dairy stock has not only carried away honors for owning highest individual cow for two months, but thru close study records and personal attention feeding has increased his herd average age from 27 pounds butter fat to 40 pounds in six months.

"The outstanding feature of the campaign so far has clearly demonstrated that a firm belief in the ability of farmers to maintain an organization is absolutely essential on the part of the solicitor. He must be imbued with the idea that the future of agricultural prosperity depends absolutely upon farmers giving up their individuality and standing shoulder to shoulder in matters affecting their common interest. In no case should a committeeman take 'No' for an answer until he has made the prospective member fully realize that only through organization can the individual hope for a more Kafateria Shoe —A Price Smashing Event Extraordinary!
