We desire to go upon record as
Havering the right of the laboring

We desire to commend the efforts

shall be selected to consider
the tobacco industry of the United
States and formulate a National
Alurketing plan similar to the work
of the Committee of Seventeen on

Whereas it appears that a Commit
tee has been appointed in the Bur
ley Tobacco District to work out
plans for a pcruiiiacr.t organization
of the Burley Tobacco growers of
Kentucky; Now be it resolved that
it is the sense of this Convention
that the Kentucky Farm Bureau
Federation endorse this movement
and the Chairman, of this Conven
tion Is now empowered to appoint a
Committee from the Dark Tobacco
District to work out plans looking
to the organization of the Dark To-ii.ip.-o

We recognize the great service
being rendered In a legitimate way
by the various marketing agencies,
and pledge our support to such con
structive and progressiva policies as
will tend to improve such agencies
and the service rendered by them;
but wit denv the risht of men who
perform no useful service, either as
producers, distributors, or manufac
turers of a commodity, to make
their living by gambling upon th
results of the efforts of those Who
are ao engaged; that supervision or
control of the packing Industry, or
anv nther branch of business that
attains a proportionate magnitude,
hir rnvernmental regulation, it a
wise volley, and urge the speedy en

to correct the pernicious systems

Mg lO mo utfliwrniriii. ui aiiiuiiux
and the uplift of agricultural condl
tions, and most cordially invite
them o co-operate with the Ken
tucky Farm Bureau Federation In
its work along similar lines.
Realizing the growing scarcity of
stock cattle, hogs and sheep upon
the farm and the great need of re
plenishing such supplies in order to
maintain the fertility of our farms
and produce meat and feed the peo
ple, we most earnestly call the at
tention ot the various railroads in
this State to this problem now con
fronting the farmers of Kentucky
and request that they make and es
tablish stocker and feeder rates for
the shipment of such stock back to
the farm, which rate shall be low
ered the more favorable than the
present rates for marketing ship
ments, and which rates shall be ap
plicable to all Ha.es la the State ot
Kentucky. '
We pledge our support to out
educational leaders la their work ia
the rural communities and among
the agricultural classes and In their
work and plans that the boys and
girls on the farm may enjoy the
same advantages and be as well
equipped In their lite work ns ttiose
In any other profession.
We further desire to' express our
appreciation to the hearty co-operation
given the Farm Bureau move
ment in this state by the public and
agricultural press and invite a con
tinuance ot same In the furtherance
of its efforts looking to the organi
zation of the farming class in our
great co-operative plan.
Whereas, In any affairs In which
the State is concerned the farmer
influence is as potent as that of any
other class ot citizens of the State,
and whereas, the control of such af
fairs must in all cases originate with
theState Government; Be it there
fore resolved, that the. farmers of
the State of Kentucky respectfully
request His Excellency, the Govern
or ot the Commonwealth, to give
consideration to the farmers ot the
3tate in all matters pertaining m to
the general welfare of Ihe State,
and request, further, that the far
mers be represented by appoint
ments on all Boards, Commissions
or Committees of any sort which
may be appointed to deal with mat
ters involving the interests of the
public at large.
We pledge the support of the Ken
tucky Farm. Bureau Federation and
the County Farm Bureaus to . the
state and County officials In the ef
fective and economical expenditures
of all money on public works and
enterprises ' and especially in the
building of roads and the expend!
tures of the peoples money therefor.
Whereas, the present methods of
marketing farm produce are ex
travagant and wasteful, and, Where
as, the producer must accept and the
consumer must pay the prices that
are offered or demanded by tnose
forces who control distribution and
who are primarily interested in
profits and frequently defeat the
laws ot supply and demand, and,
Whereas, we believe the remedy of
this condition lies in the producers
collective marketing and co-opera
tive association and corporation
marketing their products, through
these organizations as required by
the buyers and at prices that will
sell the crop.
Therefore, we, the Kentucky Farm
Bureau Federation, do recommend
and encourage the organization of
producing farmers Into collective
marketing and co-operative associa
tions, or associations that will mar
ket the crop and return to the far
mer the entire amount of the pro
ceeds of sale of his produce less the
oat of marketing. We farther In
sist that no marketing or co-operative
association or corporation - be
supported or recommended by ' this
Federation, except after an exhaus-
Investlgatlon of the by-laws
and constitution and the purpose ot
such organizations or corporations,
by a Committee .which shafl be ap
pointed by the President of the
Federation,
Believing the Kentucky and
Indiana Dairies Company, handling
and distributing the product o(. 700
producers, and selling direct, to the
consumer, is a. sincere co-operative
effort to place the consumer and
producer in a closer relation and
more economically produce and dis
tribute dairy product. Therefore be
it resolved that we recognize and en
courage tkla organization.
Realizing that the scrub is un
protable and la greatly responsible
tor the live stock situation In this
State, and believing that Kentucky
needs mora and better-live - stock;
and also believing tbat the move
ment of the Kentuoky Agricultural
College, the Kentucky Pure Bred
Live Stock Association and the
Louisville Live Stock Exchange In
organizing and promoting the Farm
ers' Better Sire Sales, is the most
Important steD ever undertaken In
that direction. We . desire to en
and hereby call upon the County
( f arm Bureaus ana an, numoi j
render all assistance possible in,
making the Farmer Pare Bred Bult
Sale to be held June 2nd, and the
Pure Bred Sheep Sale to be held
August 11th, a success.
Whereas the majority of the live
stock that I produced In the Bute
ot Kentucky Is shipped to packing
house outside of the State and
then returned to us, freight added
both ways, and. Whereas, on ac
count ot the fact that there are
practically no facilities within the
State for the utilization of such raw
materials a hemp, wool, buckwheat, 1
and only a email amount of the to
bacco crop. and. whereas, these con
ditions stand in the way of the best
development and progress ot the
Farmers ot the State of Kentuck;
Be It resolved, that the Kentucky
Farm Bureau Federation request
the co-operatlea of the Louisville
Board of Trade and Louisville In-"
dustrlal Foundation, and any other
organizations that may be of help, to
do their utmost to work out plana
for the location of factories within
the border of the State, and, The
Kentucky Farm ufreau Federation
offers its co-operation In working
out 'these probloms and suggests
that, it feasible, a Committee be ap-j
pointed,, at the discretion ot the Ex-,
ecutive Committee and the Presl-j
ueut, tor furthering co-operative rel-i
atlons. I I
That we recognize the efficient .
services of the present officers of
the Kentucky Farm Bureau Federa- j
tion, and believe that much ot the
success of the Farm Bureau move
ment of the State of Kentucky is
largely due to their efficient ser
vices and untiring efforts in its be
half. ROAD ENGINEERS ASSOCIA
