BOARD SHOWS DOOR T0“FARM VISITORS” “Professional Promoters” | Fail to Land Jobs in Relief Work. | By the Associated Press. | The Federal Farm Board has decided | upon a determincd stand against “pro- fesslonal promoters,” who have been | | seeking to “organize” the farmers for | benefits under the agricultural mar- | keting act and believes it has fortifled ifself so that it will not be misled by | their representations. | Like any important commission when it is first inaugurated, the farm board has been swamped with applications for jobs, but the most persistent of these have been individuals, some described as “well meaning Evangelists” and others | as “high pressure promoters,” who be- | lleve they see opportunity for their talents in the newly enacted farm law. Courteously Shown the Door. To practically. all of the co-operative organization promoters, the board “has | shown the door” with the declaration | that the policy of the commission is to build up existing co-operatives. Members of the board are convinced | that, through education, close super vision and a friendly helping attitude, | extant co-operatives will be able ‘o demonstrate their value to the farmers and thus increase their membership. The desire of professional promoters to “organize” farmers is held by the | board to spring from the knowledge that a great deal of Government money 1s avalable for loans to co-operatives. In another category are the apparentl large number of well meaning indi- | viduals, who believe they can assist the | board by “visiting” among the farmers | and merely spreading a good will gospel of co-operation at a fair per diem re- | muneration. H Board Is Wary. The professional promoters are the type of whom the board intends to be most wary. Representations made by | them are often adriot and attractive, and the board feels that many of them may be working among the farm without its knowledge. | one of its first moves has been to warn farmers, through responsible sources, that if they desire to gain the most | benefits from co-operative endeavor, | L:\ey should join a recognized organiza- | tion. ‘The business of protecting the farmer most_effectively is expected by board members to become easier after th | scattered existing associations are mor: | closely amalgamated. This is expected to develop after the centralized co. operative marketing corporations have been established ‘and a national cham- ber of co-operative economics has been | | founded.
