ANDREW M. SOULE The Fann Bureau .There is a good deal of interest and speculation on tne part of our readers as to the nature, character, purpose and function of the work to b© undertaken by the farm bureau. It is an organization intended pri marily to assist in putting our ag riculture on a better plane. It is the outgrowth of the extension work projected under the terms of the Smith-Lever act. Through the agency of this measure, funds were provided by congress which are to be offset on the dollar for dollar basis by the state. When this is done, men and women county agents may be appointed in any county which will help maintain them. To those charged with this work, it became evident some years ago that there should be an organization which would enable the agent to going in factories and on rail roads —men everywhere who are doing real work —have found just what Bill Clark has about Blue Buckles. Blue Buckles always give them com fort and long wear. The heaviest, toughest denim cloth goes into every pair. Blue Buckle Over Alls and Coats are big and roomy. They are made so they can’t rip. And every de tail is given careful attention— has the best there is in union workmanship. All sizes—Men’s, Youths’, Ask your d&aler today about Blue Buckles. function more successfully in the county in which he operated. Out of this endeavor to forin advisory committees and organize the county agent’s work effectually has grown a movement to establish a farm bureau. It has naturally been difficult for the Georgia State College of Agri culture to always visualize in ex act measure the problems of the farm. Through the agency of the bureau thus created it has been felt that the effort of all interested in agricultural education and develop ment generally could be more suc cessfully co-ordinated. Some have felt that the farm bureau should become a great business agency, to handle, for instance, the sweet potato crop and to aid the farmer in marketing his live stock. Cer tainly, we need to develop our mar keting facilities for the farmer has frequently not obtained his just rights in the sale of his products; but it is doubtful if any organiza tion which attempts to serve the variety of interests which the farm bureau is expected to do can also be a constructive business agency as well. I am personally, therefore, of the opinion that the farm bureau should agitate, foster and exploit the needs of our farmers, should aid in educating them and supply ing them with the data and infor mation needed to put their business on a better basis. It should be ac tive and sympathetic in promoting and creating marketing facilities and organizations, but it should not participate individually in the busi ness of the same. The success of the California Fruit exchanges lies in their co-operative effort. At the same time while representing the interests of all the producers of a certain class, each exchange is in a measure indepndent and is organ J and conducted strictly as a com mercial proposition. The farm bu reau, if it is to aid and serve the interests of its constituency as ef fectually as possible through a se ries of years must maintain its in dependence and not associate itself for highly specialized activities. The data presented below will give some idea about the farm bu reau and the work it is attempting to do. The means adopted for its organization and maintenance and the program of work outlined by its executive committee represents the plan, purposes and policy this or ganization will institute and pursue during the ensuing year. The county farm bureau is an or ganization through which repre sentative farmers and their families may work out under their own lead ership the problems of the farm and home. The work of the county farm bu reau may be divided into three parts each of which is equally important and dependent on the other. They are the economic phase, the educa tional phase, and the social phase. A county farm bureau is an or ganization made up of as many community councils as there are well developed community centers in the county. The council has f.<_ charge in the community of a.l matters relating to the farm and home. It has its president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and as many committees as it has pro jects. The executive committee or gov erning board of the county farm bureau is the county advisory board which is composed of two repre sentatives, a man and a woman from each community council, one repre sentative from each civic and pro fessional organization in the coun ty, and certain farmers who are asked by the advisory board to act as specialized leaders. Every one who is interested in agriculture and home economics is eligible for membership in bu reau. It may be called the big rural fraternity in which the farmers, their wives and their children band themselves together to work for economic, educational and social ad vancement. The farmer has charge of projects relating to the farm, his wife of those relating to the home, and together they plan for and j encourage their sons and daughters , in agricultural club work. It was about ten years ago that the farm bureau movement began, fostered by the United States de partment of agriculture and the Georgia State College of Agricul ture. The term farm bureau was meant to include all the extension activities carried on by the federal department and by the state col lege embraced in its membership all the boys and girls, men and women co-operating In boys’ and girls’ club work, establishment of creameries and cheese factories, co operative marketing ,of hogs, co operative purchasing of fertilizers and live stock, home economics Clubs among women and like move ments. This is what the farm bu reau means in Georgia today and in a great many other states. However, there is another type of farm bureau that is essentially and fundamentally a business organiza tion that employs highly paid tech nical experts to manage its af fairs. It goes into the matter of co-operative purchasing of supplies and marketing of farm products on a much larger scale and requires a large operating capital. The Amer ican Farm Bureau federation was organized in Chicago on March 3, Georgia farmers contributing sl,- 000 to the organization while the farmers in the highly organized state of lowa put in $52,194.00. The American Farm Bureau fed eration embraces 28 states, has a total membership of approximately 700,000, and its budget is $200,- 000.00. Its president is James R. Howard, of Clemons, lowa, who is paid $15,000.00 a year and allowed $3,000.00 for traveling expenses. The basis of all farm bureau work is the program of work and a digest of these constitutes the county program. There is also a state program and a national pro gram. The American Farm Bureau fed eration has on the basis of its $200,000.00 budget laid out a na tional program and created the fol lowing bureaus, several of which have headquarters at Washington. “The executive committee was in structed to set up without delay a business organization, under the di rection of trained experts, and creates bureaus of divisions as fol lows: 1. A bureau of transportation which will look into transportation matters on both rail and water, to the end that we may secure rates on farm products which shall be fair as compared with rates on oth er commodities, and which Shall give to the farmer of the United States ocean rates which will enable him to compete on a fair basis with the farmers of other nations of the world. 2. A bureau of trade relations which shall investigate our dealings with foreign countries to the end that the interests of agriculture may be promoted. 3. A bureau of distribution which shall make a thorough study of the distribution of farm products. 4. A bureau of statistics which shall inquire into world conditions which influence supply and de mand, and which shall especially study the mechanics of prices. 5. A legislative bureau which shall have to do with matters of nation al legislation which affects farm ing and farmers. 6. A btlreau of co-operation which will make a special study of co-op erative methods which have been found to be successful both here and in other countries, and which shall draw up standard forms for co-operative enterprises of various kinds and aid state federations to promote local cooperative enter prises on thoroughly safe and truly co-operative lines. A state program for Georgia that would go into farm bureau work as a big business jvill require at least $50,000.00 the first year to carry it to completion. The present farm bureau plan contemplates rais ing SI.OO for men, 50 cents for women and 25 cents each for boys and girls. The greater part of this money is to remain in the commu nity in which it is raised, giving a very small operating capital for the state organization. When the farm bureau goes into big business, suffi cient capital must be supplied. Whatever farm the bureau takes in Georgia the county agent and the home demonstration agent may, under the law, act in an advisory ca pacity and help in every way possi ble in carrying the program of work into execution. In most cases the county agent serves as secre tary to the county farm bureau and the program of work of the bureau becomes his program of work. Un der the present plan in Georgia the county agent is acting as or ganizer and hence expenses are re duced to a minimum while in some states paid organizers are employed to do the job. Probably the most important work that lies before the Georgia Farm Bureau federation today is the edu cation of the people to the needs and opportunities for such an or ganization and the training of farm bureau leaders. MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME Am coming to you for advice. Have written before, but I guess it went to the wastebasket. Please tell me what to do for my complexion, it is full of tiny holes, enlarged pores, I guess. It looks very badly. Please tell me what to do to make my com plexion fine and soft? When a young man calls where should I meet him? At the gate as I do girl friends or not? Please answer in next paper if pos sible. Thanking you so much, Troubled: The first step in gaining a good complexion, one must be careful of one’s diet. You should eat freely of fresh vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water. In the mornings on arising drink a glass of hot water, in which a level teaspoonfull of bread soda is dissolved. Drink a glass of water each hour during the day. Next, wash the face well in very warm water, using purest Castile soap, rinse off with more warm water after using the fin ger tops to massage soap in pores, rinse well. Then close the pores with ice water or very cold water. This is necessary. Palm er’s skin success salve is very good to heal the face. Use it at night, and then wash the face as prescribed. Keep the face free of powder absolutely until face has healed. Powder clogs the pores and one should use it sparingly. I am coming to you for advice or help, just as you may term it, as I want to know from your or some kind friend that may chance to read this letter, if there is known to you of any opening where I can get a hotel ready furnished that I could rent or look after for the other fellow, either way, or else I could act as matron at some school. Just so I can get started at something at which I can prove my worth. So please help me in some way if you can. I am some thing over thirty-five years of age, therefore, am experienced, but this town being so small to do much busi ness, can’t do anything here. So trust that this letter will be the means of my getting employment. Sincerely, Mrs. S. H. M. Mrs. S. H.

To those who are confused by the difference ip religious creeds and the partisanship of various large church denominations; the lines here copied bring a sense of relief and satisfac tion. Tht Almighty Maker of heaven and earth is recognized to be Om nipotent, Omnipresent and Omnisci ent—-He is able th do all things. He is always present, on land and sea, And He knows all things. Having assented to His knowledge and His power and His constant pres ence, nothing more is needed than to surrender the human will to the Di vine will (and remember, “He doeth all things well”), to complete the story of a willing obedience and ac cept its reward in comfort and res ignation. When the apostle cried out, “Lord, to whom shall we go Thou only hast the words of eternal life, it would seem that the restlessness and indecision of the majority of hu man beings are unwarranted and foolish. A' Creator who loves the work of His hands and who pro nounced the work good, never in tended to bring a helpless being into existence for the end to be only pun ishment. And the Almighy Maker of all mankind, in whose hand are all the issues of both life and death, and who will take care of the spirit when it leaves the mortal flesh in the hour and article of death, is certainly the one to lean upon and to trust and to ° b \Vhy should one fret at it, or dodge it, because death is as natural as birth, andkiio man knows his hour for either, - - ■ ■ We all understand these things. In a word, if we can trust the Pilot we can cease dreading the voyage. If the nightus dark and the storm is fierce our unaided strength amounts to but little. But the all powerful, the ever present and the safe Pilot can take us quietly into P °"Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God—-believe also in Me.” Let not your mind be troubled about the unseen or the unknown hereafter. The Lord will give grace to die by as well as grace to live by. The Pilot knows. LET RUSSIA ALONE. GOOD AD VICE The administration’s policy of al lowing Russia to do her do and say her say in these after-war times, sounds good to some of us who were never much in favor of having the United States mix up in the affairs of foreign nations at any time or place. , . . - Russia, under the leadership or Czar Nicholas 11, became an ally of the Great Britain, France and Italy compact. There were a good many billions advanced to that combina tion or faction and there w’ere a large number of American soldiers dispatched to Siberia to aid in pre serving the autonomy of Russia after the czar was deposed under the Kerensky Whether any of those many mil lions of borrowed money will ever be returned by Russia to the United States government is, of course, a question which has many phrases in the present situation, both for and against. But whether it is returned or lost by the risks and violent changes now transpiring in Russia, it seems to be the best promise or appearance of things to let matters over there alone, and if Russia can get herself out of the present tangle, let her do it. It is understood that American troops are still within reach of Poland to whom large quan tities of guns and ammunition left “over there” and not yet returned have been sent to Poland by the United States. If Poland is overcome by Russia, ’then the presence of such military supplies, now in the hands of Polish soldiers, will naturally be considered as alligning the United States with Poland. Hon. Lloyd George says: “Poland was the aggressor.” If so and we have no reason to doubt the charge against Poland, the American gov ernment may >lose the friendship of Russia, along with the cash loaned to Russia through the czar. It will be a long time before there is any sort of permanent peace with the smaller countries that lie ad- AU NT JULIA'S LETTER BOX “Help for the Helpless—Kindness to All Dumb Things” RULES No unsigned letters printed.

In the world of commerce a manufacturer who pursued sucn practices would soon be bankrupt. The same principle applies to the sale of farm products, say specialists of the bureau of markets, Unitea States department of agriculture. Be fore sending produce to market the farmer should sort It as to quality and size. The bureau of markets from time to time has recommended grade specifications for various prod ucts, and wherever these recommen dations have been followed satisfac tion and increased monetary returns have generally resulted. For instance, it is estimated that in 1919 the po tato growers in Virginia increased their profit a half million dollars by grading their produce. Similar re sults are being obtained in other states.

We have been told a great deal of Lenine and Trotsky, but the most of it has come from their enemies.
