Cole News Reporter The regular meeting of the Mynard Farm Bureau Unit was held on Friday evening, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Myron Wiles. State Legislative Chairman for the Mynard Unit, Richard O. Cole, gave a brief report. He informed all the members of the annual Legislative School sponsored by the Nebraska Farm Bureau to be held Feb ruary 19 to 22 at Lincoln. He also gave excerpts from a speech given by President Charles Marshall of the Nebras ka Farm Bureau at the annual State Farm Bureau Convention in November. He touched brief ly on the subjects of resolutions that were taken up at the State Convention. Roy O. Cole presented the fol lowing facts: WHY FARMERS NEED ORGANIZATION. There is today one and one-hall as much capital invested in agri culture as in the industries. The total investment of the average corn belt grain farm is $88,150. uu. About $35,uuu.oo or this a- mount is invested in equipment, foundation herds, etc. At the present time, Nebraska farmers and ranchers with 20 per cent of the net income and 25 per cent of the population, pay 61 per cent of the taxes on real estate for state government. In dollars, this means, of the twenty-five million dollar state bud get, about fifteen million dol lars cornels from agricultural in dustry of the state. The farmers and. ranchers receive only one fifth of the state's net income of approximately two billion dol lars. As stated above, agricul ture has one and one-half as much invested as does industry, and yet rat a recent session of the legislature, farmers expend ed only $1862.00 through Farm Bureau to protect the interests of agriculture while the liquor interest spent $13,670.00; the railroads, $25,058.00; labor un ions, $24,000.00 and so on a mong other interests: National Legislative Chair man for the Mynard Unit, Rob ert R., Cole, reported ' briefly on the outcome of the corn ref erendum. He pointed out that even though 61 per cent of the votes were in favor of the corn base, it did not pass because it was not the 66 2-3 per cent vote required. An. interesting comment he made was that the corn base vote was of a higher percentage than what Eisenhow er carried in popular votes in the last election. He also gave a great deal of information about a recent co op egg marketing meeting held in Weeping Water. The average lapse of time between the laying of an egg and the selling of the egg is 44 days. Nebraska has a poor reputa tion for egg production. If the Cass County Non-Stock -Co-op were to take part in this activity, it would mean that the produc er would have to produce the quality eggs. The Co-op would only be a place to take tha eggs for trucking in large quan tities to ether parts of the Uni ted States. These eggs can be shipped anywhere in the United States for five cents a dozen. Gertrude Barnard, Women's Chairman for the Mynard Unit, read the purpose of the Women's Organization in the Farm Bur eau. President William Gilmcur an nounced that the next meeting would be held on February 3 at the home cf Mr. and Mrs. Robert R. Cole. Refreshments were served by the hostess.
