Show FairvieW Farm Bureau Sends Out Its Messag j! We farmers are amazed day by day as we read of the great inventions inven-tions and the industrial powers. Have we stopped to check our ovn acrcmplishments? Let us analyze tho Farm Bureau, which has sent its needed cries of worthy causes from the soil on youi farms, through your county, state and to tho great American Capital. Our worthy principles have been gnawing for some years past, so small it has seemed to you and yet so kv.t-:e in politics, the greatest p;wer in America. That the voice of ?.T.iv.lti'.re has been considered, has brcrght the biggest honors to vriculii:re that has ever been given giv-en to any class cf American people. This was the call for an extra term in Congress to consider agricultural i:ec's. With all our rights and pow-or pow-or thus far, we were helpless when it came to marketing our crops. Our io'o lias been to raise the crops, which has been well done by over -.applying the markets with wheat, wool -.n:l nearly all classes of agri-ulture. agri-ulture. What lias it meant to us? Compare the cotton crop of 19:-S: :n United States produced thirteen thir-teen million bales cf cotton; the next year. 1927, the United States produci.e1 seventeen million bales. The big crop sold for three hundred hun-dred million dollars less than the small cro;. Speculators used government gov-ernment money, bought the seven-'snn seven-'snn rr-iliion bales for 11c per pound, iicld it for four months and sold it for 17c per pound. Did this extra term of Congress Jo us any good? Through it there was organized a farm board with money and power to market your crops and give you the gains as it were, in cotton from 11 cents to 17 cents which the other fellow received. re-ceived. Is this worth anything to you, a savings of over one third of your full crop? If it is, join the great pools headed by this farm Our Sanpste County president and secretary also the Fairview local lo-cal president motored to Ogden, January 20th to attend a wheat convention, con-vention, at which they were very much thrilled to have been in the meeting when the organization of this great wheat pool in Utah took place. The name given to this great pool is The Inter-mountain Grain Growers, Inc., and is composed com-posed of South Eastern Idaho, Utah and California. You who have helped to make this groat plan possible, are entitled to threw out your chest and feel you havu clone your bit as a member of the Farm Bureau. You no longer long-er iiuusticn Labor Union wages; ycu nnnot pay their price of labor on he farm. Why? Because their itcndards of members are 75 per cent efficiency. When their great army asks for their needs it has weight. If agriculture pays a greater tax than labor, why shouldn't should-n't we have equal power? Because we are only 30 per cent organized our foundation of power lies in our members to raise our standards of living, which will result re-sult in the greaUst good to our nation na-tion of anything that can possiblv be done by us. 1 he most outstanding outstand-ing and worthy men and women in America came from the farms. It is our duty to build up this nation by rcarng up greater and better boys and girls, which cannot be acne in poverty. Now what has our State Farm Bureau done? We think the biggest big-gest thing is that they have been the watch dog of farm relief in taxes. tax-es. During their convention in Salt Lake City the paper called the State Farm Bureau the pioneer agitators agi-tators of taxes. This proves they have been on the job. Our tax system must not be right. Governor Gov-ernor Dern said, "The tax system is out of joint snd needs fixing." For the first time in the history ot the state there is an excell nt prospect pros-pect of getting reform. People like to live where everybody is treated treat-ed fair. When Utah gets into that happy condition, sne will not only look more attractive from the outside, but we who are living inside will love her more and will say with more genuine pride than ever before, be-fore, "This Is The Place." Honorable Sam Jorgensen while discussing taxes at the Utah State Farm Bureau Convention said, "Do not be afraid to vote this fall foi any amendment that might be made, because it cannot be worse than our tax system is at present." Our county is responsible for its members ; there is no substitute, for members and for them to share their part of this great work. Each project you enter into, whether it be wool pool, live stock, or what not, ycu are responsible for its success. suc-cess. It is your organization, your by-laws, and you put in the officers to handle your business in that project. To get government aid you must organize. If you are in trouble, call on first, your county chairman. If your cause if found just he will call on pounds. (See H. D. Mower j chicks and coop material.)
