Federation. He is on the firing line look
ing after legislative matters which affect
agriculture so vitality either for good or i'll.
The real problems of agriculture were
largely local so long as it was chiefly
question of production. But now that ii
is so largely a question Of economic dis
tribution and marketing of the products
of the farm, the problems of agriculture
have become national rather than local.

the American Farm Bureau Federation is
doing to solve the farmerss problems in a
big, vital and national way. His message
is one worth hearing. II deals with real
