FARMERS—GET TOGETHER NOW!
Get together, work together and join in a state and national way.
There is only one way to get into the State and National federation
of Farm Bureaus, and that way is through the County farm Bureau.
Every unit must be organized.
Have you ever had an opportunity to belong to a farmer organ
ization that had a local county body to work through and a state body
and a national body? If so, was that body strong in numbers and
strong in finance, so that it was really capable of getting results? Be
serious with yourself now. Is there today such an organization for
farmers that is so organized and growing so fast as the Farm Bureau.”
It Is W inning Farm ers L iterally By T housands
Will you be one to join or will you stay out and continue to say
that farmers will not organize? While you are knocking they are or
ganizing as they never have before; 120,000 in Iowa now; 102,000
in Illinois, who pay $10 and $15 per year; 90,000 in Michigan.

W ant This O rganization? A bsolutely!
There are now approximately 1,500,000 farm families represented
in the membership of the American farm Bureau I ederat ion.
Thirty-five State Farm Bureau Federations have grown strong
enough in members and money to take part in the A. F. B. F. Near
ly 1,500 County Farm Bureaus are now actively carrying on their
work. The Farm Bureau is far beyond the experimental stage, in
county, state and national work. You do not need to wait for results.
They are already being accomplished. Isn’t it a sensible, business
like thing for you to join this big, national farm organization?
Eight Farm er Solicitors in M ultnom ah County
Every one of whom is a thorough believer in the Farm Bureau,
will come to see you on your farm the week of March 7 to 12.
They will ask you to join with them in this great effort to put all
farm folk on an equality with those in other walks of life.
T H U iiK
T he M ultnom ah County F arm Bureau and the O regon
S tate Farm Bureau
have agreed unanimously that the Greater farm Bureau in county,
state and nation is worth $5.00 per year for each family, or it isn t
worth anything. And, furthermore, no one is taken for a member for
just one year. If it is worth anything it is worth supporting for a
period of years. t
