vat Is hear anything that does not re-
nect TIE highest tyne of Americanism.
Certain it is, the common Judgment
OF American farmers can always be
depended upon to ring true and express
the best thought for the good Of the
nation. 4,
The national organization OF the
farmers haA always been deemed high
" necessary II agriculture is to be
placed in its proper relation to the
other Industries. Such national or
ganixati0n has been repeatedly at
tempted. but never fully completed.
Failures OF such organizations have
been usually due to the effort to make
them political organizations. Lack OF
adeuuate leadership has been another
stumbling block. The County Farm
Bureau is a sNON-POLITICAL Or
l(ANIZATION and has only one pur-
pose to serye-the good OF the COM,
munity and the good Of agriculture.
Il this same purpose Is extended %

During the war, and since It's con-
clusion the glaring need Of National
organization Of farmers has been very
apparent. The result OF National or
xanixation Of labor has pointed the
way. The unfairness OF the agitation
