This year the production will be nil

UNCLE REUBEN, WIDE
AWAKE, Is ON The JOB
FARMERS OF AMERICA WILL
FIGHT THEIR BATTLES IN
CONGRESS. NOT PARTISAN.

The American farmer, according
to a statement issued by Milo D.
Campbell, chairman of the National
Board of Farm Organizations, with
headquarters in Washington, is going
to fight his battles covering his legal
and economic rights in the lobbles
and halls of congress. The organi-
cation, it is stated, will not go into
party politics, but, like the Anti-Sa-
loon League, will operate through
all parties, supporting those con-
gressmen who vote for measures adj
vocated by the farmers of the nation
and seeking to bring about the de-
feat of those representatives who are
opposed to measures backed by the
tillers of the soil.
Mr.. Campbell declares that 40 per
cent. of the people of the United
States are engaged in agriculture. He
maintains that they are patriotic and
sincere and certainly will win in any
righteous contest, if they are unit
ed.
Farmers Won First Fight.
The National Board of Farm Or
CARNATIONS, representing more than
20 affiliated organizations, claims
credit for having brought about the
repeal of the daylight saving law.
Now the organization is preparing
to make. an intensive drive for the
right of collective bargaining. Every
member of the house of representa-
tives and of the senate will be tabb-
ed, card-indexed and canvassed. All
will be told that the farmers of the
land expect them to vote right on
matters affecting agriculture.
Mr.. Campbell asserts that the eff
fort to place the blame for the high
cost of living on the farmers of the
land is largely responsible for the de-
termination on the part of the farm
ers to dip into politics and obtain
some recognition.

FARMERS SUSPICIOUS,
SAYS MIR. BARRETT
GEORGIAN MAKES STATEMENT
ON EVE OF DEPARTURE FOR
CONFERENCE AT CAPITAL.

UNION CITY.-On the eve of his
departure for the round table con-
ference in Washington called by the
president to see if an adjustment can
be made between capital and labor
Charles S. Barrett, president of the
Farmers Union, who is delegate to
that conference, said:
"As a member of the jury it would
perhaps not be strictly within the
proprieties for me to say much, but
there is ore thing that l feel ought
to be said. My correspondence from
all over the country shows that there
is a growing suspicion on the part of
the farmers that they may be made
the victims of a deal between other
interests.
Representation Small.
"They cite the fact that their rep
resentation is very small, though
they represent the largest numbers
and the largest capital of any indus
try in the country.
"They are disturbed by the fact
that while there is sharp decline in
nearly all the commodities which they
produce there is no decline in those
things they have to buy, such as farm
tools, machinery, clothing, etc, nor
has the decline in their commodities
yet reached the ultimate consumer.
Large Industry.
"The farmers know that they rep
resent the largest industry and larg-
est investment in the country. They
believe that they have not always had
due consideration. Their state of
mind is not pleasant, and if their sus-
picions ever settle into convictions
any settlement. which may be reached
between the various other elements
is liable to have a rude shock when
it is submitted to the country, for
the farmers are in that attitude
where it would take very little to in
duce them to take the war path, and
that would mean trouble indeed.
81 am going to Washington with
the open mind and the determination
to do my best for the whole country
as good juror"
