islative work for four weeks, was
very interesting and showed the
Importance OF the legislative pro-
gram of the American Farm Bureau
Federation. as vital factor in our

port also showed that the power
which this organization Is develop
ing along constructive lines is meet
ing with opposition when 1t comes
in contact with other powers which
have hereto fore held sway. 1t is
becoming apparent that If the indi-
vidual farmer expects any relief by
nation legislation he must give the
Washington office adequate support
by Strengthening his local organiza-
tions.
