The Farm Bureau Movement is sweeping the country
like wildfire and Dakota County is fortunate to have
sin opportunity to hook up with n Farmer's organization
)lkc"tlio Nebraska and American Farm Uurcau Federa
tions. ,
Hvcrybody in Dakota County knows what has been
I'ccorbplishcd by the Farm Uurcau agent here, but what
wllL.the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation do for the
i armors on n larger scale? This question is heard on
sill .sides. The Nebraska Farm Bureau is organized to
t.trciigtben and correlate the work of the county Farm
.ilureaus; to encourage and promote co-operation of all
icprrscntativc agricultural organizations in every effort
1 improve facilities and conditions for the economic and
vfficiont production, conservation, marketing, trunsporta
tlon.'and distribution of farm products; to further tho
htudy and enactment of constructive agricultural lcgisla
lion; to advise with representatives of the public agri
cultural Institutions co-operating with Farm Bureaus in
7 he determination of nation-wiUe policies and to inform
j'urriv Bureau members regarding all movements that
fleet their interests.
To judge the possibilities of the Farm Bureau, to
J'now that" every farmer in Dakota County and the State
m Nebraska should be a member for his own good and
his neighbora good, it is only necessary to study for a
minute what the Farm Bureau has done and is doing,
llloughly, its work may be divided into National, State
Courtly and Township affairs. Aguln it classifies itself
u sociul and economic. In the National field the
f 'arm Bureau is successfully concerning itself with co
operative marketing of grain and live stock, and plans
tire Under way by which it Ib hoped to work out a system
whereby tho farmer will get hia cost of production plus
n fair profit and will bo released from bondage to the
big packers and the big gamblers. It is also active in
meeting tho car shortage problem and has succeeded in
Kottjng an equalized rate for grain by rail and water to
tho eastern seaboard from tho Great Lukes, thus releas
ing 'to the Middle Western farmers thousands of cars
for grain shipments. In addition it has successfully se
cured financial aid from tho Federal Reserve banks to
help tho wool growers hold their clip until It can bo
markoted at a fair price.

succeeded in repealing the daylight saying law undi de

Tho awakening of the community
spirit has been brought about largely
by means of frequent community meet

in a realization of their common needs
