gated and approved by the Farm
Bureau.
The American Farm Bureau and the
State Farm Bureau are appointing
delegates to confer with all senators
and congressman and ascertain their
position with respect to the various
items Of legislation effecting farm
progress. Special mention may be
made of such measures as: The
Kenyon-Anderson bill to control the
meat packers; Farm Financing Mea-
sures including the Strengthening of
the Federal Reserve Act and the en-
actment Of a Rural Credit Bill; and
other measures involving tax revi-
sion, tariff policies, improvement of
highways and adequate financial sup
port for the highly important activi-
ties Of the Department of Agricul-
ture.
These are only few suggestive
plans Of the American Farm Bureau.
This great farmer organization GER
tainly is hitting a stride for a
youngster-the A. F. B. was organ
lied only last March.
Just what is the American Farm
Bureau and how does it touch Stew
ems county? The A. F. B. is an As
ISOLATION of State and County Farm
Bureaus with a membership Of more
than a million farmers.
The objects of the American Farm
Bureau are to develop, strengthen
and co-relate the work of the State
Farm Bureau Federation; to encour-
age and promote cooperation of all
representatives agricultural organ
izations in improving facilities for
the economic and efficient production,
conservation, marketing, transporta-
/ ton and distribution of farm pro-
ducts; to further the study and en-
actment of constructive agricultural
+ legislation; to advise with represen-
tatives of the public agricultural in
situations cooperating with farm
bureau members regarding all move
ments that affect their interests.
The American Farm Bureau is
working to re-establish agriculture
in the public mind as to the foremost
industry on which all others depend
and, in the prosecution of which man
reaches his highest plane of develop
ment. When the consuming public is
! finally convinced of this, American
, farming will be made safe, not only tc
the farmer but for the general public
to which farming is the most Vita
thing because in the final analysis
making farming prosperous is the
greatest guarantee of the prosperity

SHORTAGE OF
WHEAT SAYS BUREAU
Present Low Prices Held Not Just-
ifed-$s to 81 Wheat Predicted
By Next Spring

"The world is short OF wheat; the
United States is oversold, and prices
must certainly go higher.
These declarations appear In
statement just issued by the Amerl-
can Farm Bureau Federation at
Washington, D. c. Already more
than one hundred twenty-five million
bushels of our wheat has cleared for
foreign ports, says the statement, and
the most optimistic figures have
never indicated a total exportable
surplus to exceed two hundred mil
lion bushels. In other words, mucn
more than half of the wheat that can
be spared for export has already gone
out of the country. There is no
wheat surplus today. On the con-
trarv. there is a real world shortage
and those who have studied the stu
alton closely predict So to $5.5O
wheat before another crop is harvest
ed.
In support of these broad state
ments Federation officials cite the
fact that all European wheat yields
have dropped materially below their
earlier estimates, and that hnal
crop figures show only twenty mil
lion bushels more than last years
crop. while the combined wheat and
rye crops show a total even less than
last years crop, or probably the
smallest on record in recent decades.
Federation officials say further that
the wheat crops of the northern
hemisphere, exclusive of India, which
is no longer an international factor,
are more than a hundred million
bushels under year ago. They say
the crop of the United States is one
hundred ninety bushels under that
of a year ago, and that the combined
crop of the United States and Can
ada is one hundred twenty millions
under that a year ago, also that the
worlds visible supply of wheat Is
two hundred million bushels short
of what is was a year ago.
"There is absolutely no justifca-
ton for the present low grain prices,
SAYS j. h. no" oil u, P4 O0ANNAAN ~ '--~
American Farm Bureau Federation
land if natural forces are allowed to
prevail the price of wheat must re-
bound strongly in the near future.
I'VE do not intend to call an or
ganized strike to withhold grain from
the market to force the price to re-
gain it's true level, but we do feel that
every farmer should know the facts
as to the available supply and prob
able demand; and if on the strength
of these facts it seems good bust
ness to hold, he should be granted the
necessary credit to do so. We do no
believe the general consuming pub
lie desires to see the farmer accep
the present ruinous prices offered
particularly when the margins mad'
go into the pockets of the speculato
rather than to the man who buys tn
bread"
