Farm Bureau Banquet
Held Monday; 'Week'
Kick-Off Conducted
Marshall Swearingen, state
president of the Farm Bureau
Federation, was principal speak
er at the "kick-off dinner of
the local observance of Farm
Bureau week here last night.
The dinner was at the Medford
hotel.
Swearingen told the Jackson
county members that he has
been member of the bureau
for 17 years for three principal
reasons:
1. It is a group of farmers
formulating their own policies;
2. The federation is the na
tion's largest farm organization,
with 1V4 million members in 47
states and Puerto Rico, and
3. It is a federation, with no
central structure of control.
Hare Equal Vote
Each county has an equal
vote on resolutions, he pointed
out, and county and regional
delegates are voting members at
state conventions, and officers
of the federation carry out the
instructions of the. members
not vice versa.
The bureau includes every
type of farmer, Swearingen em
phasized, and not just one group
such as dairymen or cattlemen.
Members in Jackson county are
orchardists, dairymen, stockmen,
truck farmers, dry land farmers,
seed crop farmers, and others.
All farmers are invited to in
vestigate the farm bureau as a
"voice" in agricultural policies
on a local, state and national
level.
Check-Up Meeting Set
A "check-up" meeting will be
held in the county courthouse
Thursday evening to see how the
current membership drive is
progressing, it was announced
last night. Membership teams
this week are conducting an all
out drive to cover the county.
In addition to attracting mem
bers, the week is designed to
better acquaint people of the
county with the importance of a
prosperous agricultural economy
and the efforts of the Farm
Bureau to improve the condi
tions. T. S. Tiegs, president of the
county bureau, said, "We are
trying to do a good job of public
relations for agriculture."
