Nearly every farmer in the North
west IS watching and viewing the ac-
tions of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, and for this reason every
farmer should come and get ac-
quainted with Mr. Howard.
The speeches made by these dis
tlnguished farm organization men
will be national and international in
their scope and worldwide in their
influence, but the far-reaching in
tluence OF this Chautauqua will be
measured by the degree in which the
farmers Of the Northwest support it.

full membership in the Canadian
Council of Agriculture.
