DRIVE BRINGS
GOOD RESULTS
G. w. Randlett, Here Today,
Tells of National Farm
Bureau Federation Aims.

Reports from the districts which
are being covered in the farm bureau
membership campaign indicate that
ABOUT 80 per cent of the farmers are
afhliating with the farm bureau. So
llcltors have completed their work in
which gave good returns, 80 members
being reported from Logan and "a
from Arvilla.
From nine townships which were
being covered on Friday, 1873 members
were secured, and those in charge of
the drive feel assured that the cam
paign will result in bringing several
andre farmers into the farm bu-
reau.
The drive is being carried on in
Plymouth, Niagara, Grace, Agnes,
Elm Grove. Moraine, Lind, North
wood. Pleasant View. Mekinock, Gilby,
Youngstown and LarimOre townships
today.
Crews of solicitors are at work
carrying on the campaign. and farm
ers who are being visited are given
information concerning the aims and
purposes of the. farm bureau move
ment in its county, state and national
aspects
Randlett Here.
Gordon w. Randlett. director Of
agricultural extension in North Da-
kota, who is here today in the inter-
ests of the campaign in this county
said in regard to the American Farm
Bureau federation, with which the
county and state organizations are
affiliated:
1.-THE American Farm Bureau fed
Grafton sponsors no protective party
or candidate. but. maintains the right
to express its opinion on proposed
measures before congress. BY a ref
erendum vote the members defeated
the proposed. Nolan bill, which at
tnpted to discriminate against farm
ers. The bill proposed a tax of one
per cent per annum on all individual
land holdings in excess Of ten thou
sand dollars. Had it not been for the
prompt action of the federation this
measure would in. ali probability have
passed and the North Dakota farmer
holding land properties would have
been required to pay on twenty thou
sand at one per cent, or 5000 per year
in addition to his regular taxes.
"The American Farm Bureau fed
Grafton proposes to conduct referenda
on various national questions to de-
termine farm sentiment as an influ-
ence upon legislation; it will defend
the farmers viewpoint on all matters
relating to tax levies. tariffs, currency,
banking, transportation and market
ing. 1t will attempt to strengthen
the federal farm loan act and secure
a system of personal credit to farmers.
In a word, it stands for, all progressive
measures Of interest to farmers, and
we are anxious to see all farmers of
our state enrolled as members"
Mr.. Randlett will leave the latter
the interests of his work in North
Dakota. ..... --...
