co-operation as exemplified in the history and experience of successful

(6) That this division shall tender its services as counselor and advisor 

 to state and district organizations and agencies on questions relating to 

 type and plans of organization, campaign methods, problems of operation 

 and other related subjects; 



(7) That this division shall endeavor to unify or co-ordinate all organi- 

 zations, agencies and interests in behalf of a comprehensive and united 

 program of co-operative marketing in the United States; 



(8) That the Farm Bureau Federations, National, State and County, 

 should be active in educating producers of farm and live stock products

 the producers themselves. 



Co-Operative Egg and Poultry Marketing 



WHEREAS, many local Farm Bureau communities in many states have 

 developed co-operative marketing units for eggs and poultry, and 



WHEREAS, these local units have had to work independently and to 

 their disadvantage in marketing their products, 



THEREFORE, we recommend that the American Farm Bureau Fed- 

 eration, as soon as practicable, call a conference of State Farm Bureau 

 workers and others interested in the poultry industry to develop plans 

 for centralized marketing of eggs and poultry. 



The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation expresses to President Hunt and 

 Secretary Cunningham the fullest appreciation and sincere thanks for 

 their loyalty, faithfulness and sacrifice. More especially do we recom- 

 mend the many accomplishments of the year, and for the sound aggres- 

 sive and forward looking policies which they have put into operation, 

 and which they are developing, and which will mean so much to the 

 accomplishments of greater benefit to farmers and to agriculture in the 

 future. 



Likewise we commend and thank the Executive Committee, the sub- 

 ordinate officers and the special workers who have served as loyally, 

 faithfully and efficiently for the good of the farmer and his cause.
