NATIONAL AND STATE FARM
BUREAU ITEMS

The first regular meeting of the
board of directors of the American
Farm Bureau Federation will be held
in Chicago on March 2 at which time
the applications of the various states
for membership in the national or
ganization will be passed upon. II
ten states qualify as members per-
manent set of officers will be elected
and the national organization will be
formally launched.
This federation was organized last
November in Chicago and since that
time has created national and inter
national interest as the most import
ant farmers organization that has
ever been formed II is hoped that
1t will live up to this reputation and
aid the farmer as much as the county
farm bureau has in the past
me executive committee Is now
composed of fourteen of the leading
farmers OF the nation. and every
member of this committee must be a
bona fide farmer. Whenever any
member becomes a candidate for an
elective or appointive office, either
state or national, he must resign his
office in the Farm Bureau federation
SO there is no possibility OF the ma
tionag organization being controlled by
the present outlook this organization
can easily become what is reasonably
expected OF 1t to become.
Colorado has a rare opportunity to
keep in close touch whit the national
organization by having the president
