(Continued from front page)
Sept. 20 and at Floral Wed
nesday Sept. 21 to talk about
the Cotton Association. T. E.
Hickman will arrange the time

The Arkansas Cotton Grow
ers Association is at the pres
ent time the chief business of
the Arkansas Farm Bureau
Federation. Recently the
Farm Bureau has completed
cooperative marketing associ
ations in the state for the sell
ing of rice, sweet potatoes
and lespedeza hay, and now
cotton remains the big job to
be completed this year.
At the recent meeting in
Little Rock, the State Farm
Bureau Federation was per
manently organized with a
set of officers and an execu
tive committee elected and a
constitution adopted. Five
things were decided upon as
being the present most impor
tant projects needing the Bu
reau’s attention in Arkansas:
1. Increasing membership
in the County Farm Bureaus.
2. Completion of the com
modity marketing associations
of cotton, rice and sweet po
tatoes.
3. Urging the consumption of
Arkansas product® by Arkan
sas people, especially corn
which may be marketed this
fall and shipped out of the
state only to be back in the
state in the spring.
4. Looking after the soil
fertility as being the basic
proposition in intelligent and
economic production of crops.
5. The uniform annual dues
set by the state organization
for the counties was ten dol
lars per year per member.
The division of the funds as
follows: 50 cents to the Am
erican Farm Bureau Federa
tion; 50 cents for a subscrip
tion to the Arkansas Agricul
turist, the official paper of the
State Farm Bureau; $2 for the
maintenance of the State
Farm Bureau office; $2 during
the first year to go to the
marketing organizations if the
member should joiD any or ->11
of them; and $5 to remain in
the county to be used at the

doscretion of the County Farm
Bureau.
Believing the Farm Bureau
to be the best type of farm
organization ever organized;
that it’s principles are broad
and fundamentally sound, and
tl i it can be of untold bene
fit to its members when com
pletely organized for a period
of years, the State Farm Bu
reau decided to proceed on a
five year basis. All members
are therefore asked to sign a
five year pledge to the Farm
Bureau. The pledge simply
eliminating the necessity for
a membership campaign each
year, leaving only the collec
tion of the yearly dues to be
carried on by the county offi
cials.
The State Farm Bureau has
made an agreement whereby
it is to carry on the organiza
tion work of the various com
modity marketing associations
and further that any member
of the Farm Bureau may be
come a member of one or more
of these associations without
additional cost simply by sign
ing the commodity contracts.
The Farm Bureau is a
broad visioned, thinking or
ganization which has a con
science and expresses senti
ments, looks after agriculture
in the state and counties gen
erally. The cooperative mar
keting organizations are or
ganized on strictly cold blood
ed business lines for the sole
and only purpose of selling
the commodities.
While there is a wide dif
ference in the various com
modities such as cotton, rice,
sweet potatoes, hay and other
crops; yet there are certain
things that are common to all.
namely, need of proper finan
ces, transportation, legal ad
vice, statutory laws, statistics,
research and mutual and sym
pathetic understanding among
all growers. Each coopera
tive selling organization might
maintain an office for all of
these needs but in order to
save an enormous expense to
the growers of the state and
to make for efficiency, the
State Farm Bureau proposes
to maintain a department that
will adequately care for prob
lems which are common to all
commodities.
