 A GREAT CONVENTION
 We hope every farmer will read all reports from the Atlanta convention.
 We will try to have full report Of
 tbe, convention in the papers next week This assembly determines the activities and policies of the next
 twelve months and each should know
 inst what these policies are. The
 Federation newsletter of next week
 will give d full report. This meeting is by far the most important ever
 assembled in the interest of Ameri-
 can agriculture. Many of the best men of the nation attended and are at work on the knotty problems of the farmer. The only report to reach us to date is a brief sketch of the opening address by President J. R. Howard. which we reproduce here.
 BROWN ELECTED
 The Arizona Farm Bureau Feder- alton has a right to be proud. We just learn that our state president, MT C. S. Brown, was unanimously elected on the national executive committee of twelve to conduct the affairs of the federation for the com 1 ing year. This committee is made Iup of three members from the north east three from the central region, tEree from the west, and three from 1 the southern part.
 | Mir. Brown is practical dairy farmer, well qualified to fill this
 place. He has proven himself an un- 1 tiring worker, willing to sacrifice his own interests for the good or the
 cause. MT. Brown has had number i of years experience in the work and 1 ;. nn-0nnr1TiEa n10VQ-
 ments and organizations. We feel proud to have his leadership for the Arizona federation.
 FARM BUREAU PICTURES l The County Farm Bureau hopes to l be able in a few weeks to show some I of the Farm Bureau films. The na- tional association has had made sev-
 eral films, said to be very entertain- ing and instructive In these pictures | farm life is pictured under the old haphaZard way of doing things, and under modern methods, where crops are sold co-operatively, yielding | profit which makes it possible to have a modern home on the farm, and makes farming real business Many of our schools can show these
 pictures.
 l' THE AGRICULTURAL BLOC
 The agricultural bloc that we read : so much about these days is com
 posed of 25 senators and 75 repre- sentatives who hail from the leading agricultural states of the Union Their policy has been to get justice 7 for their constituents and they hay' set about it in a whole-hearted way Every measure they feel necessary for the promotion of the farmers just interests, they get behind ant push. Success has been with then to large extent. First, because the, are composed of both political par ties, hence politics has not caused ; split against them, and, second, be cause they have practically aban doned the time methods of wire pulling, or scratch my back and II scratch yours" but have come ou boldly and stated what they felt tn \ farmers needed in the way of legis ! Iation and why.
 The names of congressman who ar championing the needs of the farme are oft-times in the press, even be E fore vote is taken, and this wide Spread publicity often causes tn publics opinion to be so changed a ! to influence other senators and rep resentatives to vote for a measur that they would otherwise disregard \ The agricultural bloc has ofte | asked the American Farm Burea Federation what agriculture need and it is needless to say that the have been told and have been imme 6iately supplied with all necessar data of proof. Hence much of th | effectiveness of the work of the blo has been made possible by the fed eration because it's able represents K lives speak for a powerful organiza ton of f. srmers which has an enor nous fund of facts and figures avail I6 able
