FUNCTION OF FARM BUREAUS
; In Utah and Idaho the idea is be
ing consistently fostered that the
Farm Bureau is the only organiza
tion that the i' s. government will
acknowledge among the farmers. It
la significant to note that the sugar
companies in these states are back of
this idea because they have captured
and are using the Farm Bureau to
advance their own interests as
against that of the farmers. .
We understand full well that the
government is back of the organiza
tion of the Farm Bureau and we will
assume that when it comes to under
standing and. statins the purposes of
the bureau that tbe government will
be the acknowledged authority. Here
is how the government itself, in
States Relation Service Document 54
defines the purposes of the Firm Bu
reau:
"The organization of farmers is
not a new idea, it has been the
theme of publicists for more than a
century and much effective work has
been accomplished Thousarids of
so-operative agricultural associations
are war-Mg.isudiQesltuUy, besides
other thousands of farmers' clubs
granges, equities, gleaners and other
***m,->na aon-eo_ret fmsraal or
if-?*- that « performing an
excellent service for rural organiza
tions in their respective fields. The
County Farm Bureau will help to
unify the efforts of these existing or
ganizations and to strengthen the
work they are doing. It is a non
partisan, non-sectarian organiza
tion representing the whole farm
ing population, men and women
alike, and acts as a clearing house
for every other association interest
ed in work with rural people. Es
sentially it is a chamber of agricul
ture, ""responding in many of its
features with a city chamber of com
merce."
Thus it appears that the govern
ment intends the Farm Bureau to
help other farmers' organizations
rather than destroy them. The pur
pose of the bureau ls to make tho
work of the other farmers' organiza
tions more effective, just as a city
chamber of commerce unobtrusively
directs It bankers' organizations, its
real estate men's organization, its re
tall merchants' organization, Its law
yers' organizations, ita doctors' or
ganization and its multitude of labor
ers' organization to a common end
and purpose, that end and purpose
being the beat interest of the city as
a whole.
);: Contrary to the policy of curtailing
or preventing other fanners' organl-
ations, the government issues thlft
specific instruction In Its handbook
of instruction to county agents:
"Local farmers' clubs, associations
etc., should be organized whenever
there is a specific object for organiz-

Ing pad when local people are no**
only ready, but willing to shoulder
the responsibility of an organization.
These- organizations may take the
form or Granges, locals of the Soci
ety of Equity, Farmers Unions, Farm
ers Clubs, Seed Growers* Asociation,
Live Stock Associations, Dairy Im
provement Asociatlons, Study Clubs,
etc."
From this it will be seen that It
becomes a. part of the county agent's
duties to organize associations of
farmers whenever It becomes neces
sary to accomplish some special ob
ject.
• -The government fully understood
that there was one field that the
Farm Bureau must stay clear of anil
that was the field we know as "busi
ness," that is buying and selling.
When the bureau enters that field it
is certain to come to grief and its
usefulness will be destroyed. On this
subject the government says in it.-,
county agents' handbook:
"The County Farm Bureau or
other organization connected with
the work of the county agent does
not normally undertake to transact
co-operative business. It is, how
ever, a legitimate function of the
Farm Bureau to assist officially in
organizing subsidiary associations
for the co-operative purchasing and
selling of farm commodities and of
transacting such business along eco
nomic lines."
When it comes to selling any farm
produce, from apples to sugar beets,
the government intends the Farm Bu
reau to stand from under and if the
farmers think an organization is
necessary to help in the marketing
they must organize outside the Farm
Bureau.
It is the function of the Farm Bu
reau and the county agent to educate
in methods of production. They are
intended only to keep the farmer In
formed as to the best methods of ag
ricultural practice. The county agent
is the representative of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. He is em
ployed to show the farmers how to
best do things, to tell them about the
best varieties of seeds, etc., to go
about among them and ascertain
who is employing the best methods,
and to carry such methods to other
farmers. The county agent has no
business championing the cause of
any banker, merchant or manufac
turer. He has no business to talk
politics or attend political conven
tions. He has a right to vote for
whom he pleases, but he l.as no busi
ness to become the partisan for any
candidate.
The farmers pay taxes to keep the
agent In the co nty. He should
serve all impartially. When any
farmer observes the county agent do
ing anything that is not within the
province of his duties it is the duty
of that farmer to lodge a complaint
with his county commissioners and
see that the agent attends to business
or quits.
The beet contracts circulated by
the sugar companies with a coupon
attached stating "This contract ap
proved by Utah State Farm Bureau,"
and asking for permission to deduct
one-half cent per ton to this organi
zation, is the rankest kind of pre
sumption. It is one of the most
glaring frauds ever attempted to be
perpetrated upon the citizens of any
state. The man who signs such a
contract is only contributing means
to keep himself in bondage. He is
either a natural-born fool or is be
ing fooled in the most hurtful way
possible. For your own and your
children's sake, don't sign such a
contract.
