Every farmer is entitled to three things in his business—COST 0 F MARKETS over which now he has little control—A REA SONABLE MARGIN OF I ROFIT, which all other business expects and gets. These things cannot be secured by each farmer acting individually. They must be secured through a well-financed organization. The Farm Bureau has three parts in its organiza tion to get these three things the farmers want. ? ™ a R ot Watch Papers for Details and Places of Public Meetings The Multnomah County Farm Bureau helps solve all local problems of production, distribution, home economics, and better farm life generally.
