Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Farm Organizations: Hearings Before the Committee on Banking and Currency of the House of Representatives, Tuesday, February 1, 1921 The Chairman. Give your name and state your official connection. Mr. Lyman. Charles A. Lyman. For over two years I have been secretary of the National Board of Farm Organization, located at 1731 I Street NW. The organization was formed in the summer of 1917 by a number of farmers´ self-help organizations. These organizations have been in existence for a good many years. In the spring of 1917, about the time that Mr. Hoover came to this country to take charge of what became known as the National Food Administration, a great many people came to Washington. It was to meet this situation that farm leaders came to the National Capital and they met in the various conferences before the war emergency boards, and out of the various meetings they decided it was advisable and necessary to form a national union, a clearing house, for their organizations so that they might have representation. The board was called the Federal Board of Farm Organizations for the first year or so, and later the name was changed to National Board of Farm Organizations. The board has been in existence now for nearly four years and has put out a great deal of printed and mimeographed material to its general mailing list, so that it is not very hard to know what the board has been doing and what its purposes are. I have here a copy of what was called "The farmers-win-the-war program," being the official compilation of the membership, program, and resolutions of the convention held under the auspices of the National Board of Farm Organizations in Washington, D. C., August 27, 28, and 29, 1918. This contains a copy of the constitution and by-laws of the National Board of Farm Organizations. The objects are given as follows: 1. To unite the farm organizations of the United States for all purposes upon which they may agree, leaving each free to take or not to take as an individual organization any action or position upon any question wherein it does not agree with the others. 2. To afford a ready means of giving voice and weight to the views of the farmers in national affairs. 3. To promote the interests of the farm families of America, to conserve and increase the influence of those who feed and clothe the people, and to further a national recognition of the power and position of the farmer in national life. 4. To increase the value of the service of the farmer to the Nation, and of the Nation to the farmer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
