Like most other farm organiza
tion, its membership has been hit
by the financial depression. How
ever, it has had few casualties in its
ventures. A picture of the activity
of these local units out in the rural
districts of Nebraska is given by G.
K. Samuelson, president of the Polk
County Farmers' union., Each group
meets once or twice a month in a
rural schoedbouse or a community
halt such as is orevided by many
churches, or as is made from aban
doned church edifices. These com
munity halls arc also used by the
Farm Bureau federation or any other
group that wishes.- The social ses
sions are open to the entire neigh'
borhood. There are business, educa
tional and social features for almost
all meetings. It is here on. the
prairie, rather than in the towns or
at the cross roads store that ques
tions of markets, legislation, trans
portation, disarmament and such, an
threshed out. Four times a year a
county meeting is held, at which spe
cial speakers appear.
' Does Co-Operative Work.
In Polk county the Farmers' union
' maintains a shipping association to
gather and forward livestock to the
Omaha market. There are also five
co-operative elevators" and four co
operative stores handling implements
sinrj general merchandise. ; 1 he farm
er elevators also handle coal at cost.
"I'm president of one of . the big
gest stores in Usceola, the county
seat, Mr. isamuclson said in .an n
teniew. "borne of the merchants
icel that this competition is aff right
and brings more business to the
.!J"own; others still resent it. How
ever,- to tne extent it keens our
money at home, it is a good thing for
tne community. .
Mr., Samuelson reports ' that ; the
farmer elevators in Polk county have
. r.ll signed up' with, the United States
Grain Growers, Inc., and that the big
share of the local farmers have
signed up to dispose of their erain

of others are pledged There is an

oath required there to market all
products through the one agency.
Another pioneer of the co-operative
movement in the convention is Rich

graybeards among the delegates, a

Hundreds of Delegates
at Annual Convention
of State Farmers' Union
No longer is the farmer oblivious
to things that go on outside his own
farmyard. Nor is the world oblivious
of him. He no longer leaves national
and world problems to the politicians,
economists, writers and fastest talk
ers. - He is aware that the problems
of the nation and world are his, that
the prosperity of the nation and world
depend upon tne prosperny 01 agri
culture. All these statements were proven
when the ninth annual' convention of
the Farmers' Educational and Co-Op
erative State Union of Nebraska
opend at the Auditorium at 10 yester
day. Men oi national ana state
prominence in attendance at the con
vention discussed the problems that
have been stirring the political, busi
ness and economic world.
At noon 700 delegates were reg
istered, c
Two such men are A. C. Davis,
Gravette, Ark., national secretary-
treasurer of the Farmers' union, and
Milo Reno, Des Moines, state presi
dent of the Iowa Farmers' union.
Both men have been, invited to at
tend the agricultural conference
which has been called by Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace.
r Legislation Not Needed.
Speaking of legislation that would
assure higher prices for farm pro
duce Mr. Davis said: ,
"The deep thinking farmers are
against any legislation that will
bring higher prices for their pro
duce Mr. Davis said yesterday:
' Our- present financial straits are
not caused by anything that could be
remedied by legislation, but by the
downfall of the world's financial sys
tem. We need less legislation and
a ' monetary system established
whereby ,. the farmer can secure
money on short time credit, from one
to three years. Such a system will
allow hint to readjust himself grad
ually and will assure prices..
"I woulaalso like to have the War
Finance . corporation perpetuated
after its present term of activity has
ceased. The corporation is doing
good .among the farmers and the
funds supplied . will tide him over a
bad place in the road.
"The federal reserve ' banks arc
functioning all right, but a trifle slow.
More men. better acquainted with
the needs of the farmers, on the Fed
eral Reserve board would do much
to aid the farmers."
Mr. Davis declared the agricultural
conference at Washington would re
sult in great good for the. farmers if
"the program is allowed to proceed
as it will and not through any cut
and dried procedure." ,
Relative to restriction'; of crops
Milo Reno declares Iowa and middle
western farmers are against any such
move. He declared crop ' restric
tion "but. a dream.'' ' " ' :
v Against Crop Restriction. ,
"Farmers realize they must plant
the crops which will bring them .the
most money - on labor and invest
ment," said Mr.' Reno. "I believe
that farmers shaultLplant full, crops
and the government market all sur
plus. 'Eighty-five per cent of the
farm produce of the nation is mar
ketable in this country.

Gustafson Present.
. What action to be taken by the
convention regarding the new plan
of marketing of the United States
Grain Growers, Inc., is unknown. It
was the opinion of some delegates
yesterday that the entire question
would be ignored. . '
C. H. Gustafson, for many years
president of the Nebraska. State
union and now . president of the
United States Gram Growers, Inc.,
with offices in Chicago, is in attend
ance at the convention.
"We are - miking splendid pro
gress," he said. "In the 11 grain
growing states we have 36,000 sign
ers of contracts. : In Nebraska we
have signed 8,000 members. For the
present we are confining activities to
grain growers of the Mississippi and
Missouri valleys.. Later we hope to
branch off into the states where
grain growing is not so prominent."
Stockham Farmers Find
Profit in Feeding Corn
. F. R. Holt of Stockham was a vis
itor at the local stockyards yester
day, bringing in a mixed load ot
beeves and heifers. The cattle were
yearlings of ' the Hereford breed,
averaging 1,070 pounds, and brought
the good price of $7.40 a hundred.
Mr. Holt said the low price of corn
was a great help to feeders and
many farmers found it more profit
able to feed their corn than attempt
to market it. He said if livestock
raisers would pay particular r attend
tion to getting a good price' when'
buying feeders there would be money
in handling livestock. ,:. -1
"Right in the . neighborhood Of
Stockham there . are more cattle on
feed at this time than there Avers a
year ago today and there is also a
good supply of hogs,"', he said.
"Most of the farmers in raising hog
are not feeding them up for heavy
weights and commence .to ship when
they get around about 225 pounds."
