FARM BUREAU NOTES

federation's membership and ac-
tivities, in the states and in the
national field, is the subject Of
much discussion among other
farm organization spokesman
here. The present balance of
opinion is that the federation
has not yet reached the point
where it's policy has been
threshed out by it's own men,
bers, and that while just now
the Greater Iowa association
and other reactionary influences
are clamorous in it's councils, the
movement will within a year or
two throw off these handicaps
and come out as a red farmer
movement.
It's function originally was
the enlistment Of the farmers

tention act for the improvement

CANADIAN FARMERS HERE
The Canadian Council of Ag-
riculture, representing all of
the representative farmer orga-
nizations of the Dominion, in
Guiding the United Farmers,
who have captured the govern
ment Of the province Of Ontario,
are to meet in conference with
the National Board of Farm Or
CARNATIONS at Chicago next
week. The proposed program
of discussions includes the pos
sible formation of an Intelna-
tional Council of Agriculture for
the United States and Canada,
in which the conservative ele-
ments on this side of the border,
would hold annual joint meet
ings with the liberal and radi-
cal farmer elements located to
the north. It would appear I'M
likely that the Canadians would
agree to such an arrangement
unless the liberal American
farmers, as grouped under the
new name, United Farmers of
America" and the Nonpartisan
league and Farmers National
council should also be called into
the amliation.
One topic of debate at Chi
cago will be the results to Cana
dian farmers, thus far, of their
political activities. The Nation
Board of Farm Organizations,
which recently took a hostile
stand on public operation Of the
railroads, is now going to in
quire how public operation and
public ownership are working in
Canada. They say they are will
ing to be convinced.
Still another topic will be the
issue of militarism and the pro-
posal that all organized farm
ers on this continent use their
power to reduce ornaments and
oppose militarist plans.

Washington, D. Cat last

private lease Of many billions of
dollars worth Of power sites on
the public lands or on navigable
streams, has passed the house.
Thus the fight for possession
Of the last of the great natural
