Clark L. Brody, secretary-manager
of the Michigan State Farm-Bureau
with headquarters in Lansing, was
the main speaker at the "annual meeting, of the Washtenaw County-Farm
Bureau, held in the dining room oi
the Federated church Saturday afternoon. .Others who spoke were C. A
Curtiss, president of" the* Citizens
Bank, and'Arthur Hagen, 4-H club
worker for the county.
While Mr. Brody's announced topic
was the new .membership plan of the
organization, he spoke for some time
on the need for cooperation among
farmers in order to see that their interests were looked after. He deplored the move of farmers into the city,
where they took unskilled laborers'
jobs after being what might be termed skilled workers in their own field.
' He said that the independence of
agriculture was grossly overestimated and that neither agriculture as a
whole nor farmers as individuals can
hope to get anywhere unless there
is cooperation and organization within the group. The Farm Bureau and
the Grange he classified as being
among the means of securing this organization. He stated that he never
would speak la opposition to any agricultural organization functioning
for the good of the cause and for that
reason he was friendly to the Grange,
advocating that all members of the
bureau should be likewise.
He stated that' agriculture is no
worse off than industry, and, that ^°^3
section is peculiarly well off in com*
jparison to many. He said that an
optimistic spirit plus good organization would carry the farmer to prosperity, even in these times.
Among the -problems which_ are
confronting the agriculturists at the
present time and iwhich the Farm Bureau -]is trying to aid, are the distribution of highway funds, mass distribution and sale of farm supplies, the
relation, of the farmer to public utility corporations and the tax question.
This last has 'been given considerable
thought iby the organization and the
need 'for"work is" considerable, he
said. Other problems which are confronting the farmer are reapportionment, "which must be watched care-
fully.
The new membership plan comes
after several years of thought, and
ariticiipation, said Mr. B^ady. Within
the last few years the list of members has decreased somewhat, while
the activities of the organization
have increased. In order to meet the
situation a plan, was outlined wtiere-
by the faithful member who pays his
dues regularly becomes a paid up for
life, member "after a certain period.
Mr. Curtiss spoke on the "Relationship *of the Banker and the
Farmer." He told^of the activities of
bankers in the interest of the farmer,
such .as the move to stop Russia from
.dumping ,wheat on the seaboard
towns. He said that, all bankers
through their organizations, as well
as" through their individual dealings,
were interested in the success of agr
riculture and were trying to help
solve the agricultural situation.
The expense and organization ■ of
the Farm Bureau and kindred organizations is more than justified by the
4-H projects among the boys (and
girls, said Mr. Curtiss. He urged all
farmers to join the organization and
said all farmers should be enrolled.
- During the 'business session, Mrs
L. Bradley, secretary-treasurer of the
Washtenaw County Farm Bureau,
read the annual report. President
Charles McCalla appointed a nominating :" committee, which* nominated
the ""candidates for the board of directors. Mrs. Wager of Monroe, state
chairman of the -women's branch of
the bureau, was introduced by the
chairman. Arthur . Hagen spoke
briefly on" the activities of the 4-H
groups and told of his efforts to get
the boys* and girls interested in the
adult organizations when they wejre
too old for his groups.
The members of the board of directors for the ensuing year, as nominated by the nominating committee
ana unanimously approved by the organization, will be Charles McCalla,
C. D. Finkbeiner, J. Napp, J. Smith,
Clyde. Breining, Frank Geiger, Mr.
Laird, William Austin and George
McCalla.       .
Mr. McCalla was toastmaster and
George Austin played, .two cornet
solos. 'He was accompanied -by his
sister, Mrs. Janice Scott. Group singing preceded the program. There
w/ere about 150 members of the local
bureau and their wives in'attendance.

It cost a Saline Indian $12.20 last
week because he was hunting and
trapping with a permit gained falsely. The decision was handed down
;in Justice Jay H. Payne's court in
Ann Arbor after the Indian had been
arrested by Otto Rohn, conservation
officer.
The Indian, George Van Every, was
foun'd to be a citizen of Canada and
not of. the United States although
Van Every considered himself such
in good-,faith when he was granted
the license. The judge did not levy
a fine nor order the man to reimburse
the government for the furs which
he sold under the permit.
The treaty rights of Indians for
hunting and fishing were deemed not
adeauate by Justice Payne although
claimed by Van Every.
