of Achievements in Nation
In reviewing the achievements OF
the American Federation Of Farm Bu-
reaus, in Smyrna recently, E. B. Hea-
ton stated, in a referendum submitted
to its 100000 members on the Raj
ston Nolan Bill which proposed to in
f1ict a tax of one per cent on all farm
land above $4,000 in value, that the
vote was two to one against it and
that the bill was Immediately droppe-.
When the railroad bill was before
Congress, thru an intervention OF the
national farm bureau organization the
book value of the railroads was re-
duced S1,11O,OO0,OOO and $1,OOO,0OO in
freight rates thus saves 81 per cent OF
which the farmers would have had tu
pay. Another outstanding achievement
! of which Mr.. Heaton spoke was the
securing of credits for farmers. Es-
peciallv the federation takes credit for
persuading ..le Federal Reserve Board
to direct banks to accept storage
warehouse receipts for wheat and 9TH
er grains as collateral on lonas. The
| u. s. Shipping Board was considering
eouipping a nne of ships with refrig-
orator space for hauling meat from
Argentina and Aus.Iana and dumping
hundreds of tons of the cheap meat on
our markets. The Washington repre-
sentative of the farm bureau fedora
ton was on the job and spoke the
-
word that caused the .. 5. Shipping
Board to nulnfy this policy. Last
spring the farmers of Long Island
were unable to get their seed potatoes
down from Maine due 20 the car short
age. An appeal was made to Mr.. Sill
yer, the Washington representative OF
the federation. Mr.. Silver presented
an argument which resulted in the di

the strong statement that ''if the
grandmother is any good the grand
daughter would not reach the age OF
10 or IL years until she could make
things as good as most any older
woman from pure observation and
teaching in the home" This left
more room for an argument in which
several women disagreed with him and
he said: "In geometry we always
write O. T.. II. after our problems.
Therefore, l will put the which was
demonstrated after my statement, by
having a girl under 10 that has never
made anything but has watched her
mother and observed. II you will al
low me to compete and I'll let you
b. the judge"
AS result while out on his farm
he gathered some wild plums and
brought them 10 Artinore and called
up his neighbor's little girl, OF S
years old, and told her what he
wanted and that he would expect her
10 exhibit some plum jelly at the
County Fair against the girls. While
she had never made anything OF tho
kind she did as he requested and
then came the sequel only girls OF
10 years old and over could enter
the club exhibit, and Clay, ever con.
fidcnt and sure OF what he said,
told her 10 enter the women class.
IN this class she won the SECOND
