Farm Federation

In order to correct any mistaken i'm
preston which may have arisen in
this state concerning the so-called
"Farmer-Labor" third party, officers
Of the Indiana Federation of Farmers
associations and state organization
workers are calling attention to the
fact that the federation has no con-
nection with any such movement 1t
has been pointed out that not only the
state federation, but the national Or
eanization to which the Indiana farm
ers are affiliated-the American Farm
Bureau federation-is headed by the
most conservative leaders who are
firm for backing up their set platform
as adopted at their first annual con-
vention which set out principles In di-
rect contrast to many Of those advo-
Gated at this time by this new party
County, state and nationally, the
slogan of the farmers has been &c
keep the association out of politics"
Again, numerous county associations
in this state. as well as the parent
body in INDIANAPOLIS, and the Ameri,
can Farm Bureau federation have gone
on record as against any tendency to-
ward radicalism and have frowned re-
peatedly upon such doctrines as gov
ernmental ownership of railroads and
public utilities.
H. G. Reid, field man and state or
ganizer has contracted with a large
number of county associations to con.
duct membership drives during the
summer and early fall. He hopes to
increase the number of drives to at
least 40 counties before the compile
ton of his tour of the state. Conf
dence is expressed by state officers
that the finish of these membership
drives before the second annual con-
vention to be held in November, will
see the Indiana federation the strong
est in the way of membership of any
farmers organization in the middle
west.
The goal is for $50, 900 members by
November Iowa now leads with ap
proximately $4,000 members, with Hi
