The Farmer in Washington

For thirty years Wall Street has had a bloc in Congress. Now the
farmers have their bloc. Behind the farmers bloc is an organization,
the American Farm Bureau Federation, which first supplied the inita-
tive and the leaders for the Farm Bloc in Congress.
The Farm Bloc is the name that has been given to a group Of
Senator'S and Representatives who are getting action on agricultural
legislation. The American Farm Bureau Federation, through the
farmers bloc, has been able to get on the statute books every project
for which it has been working. Here, at least, is something worthwhile
about which there can be no dispute. sd
Individually the farmer never could tave fc-~cd such a Bloc
No one farmer could ever hope to ga:n such a victory. 1t is only al
organization such as the Farm Bureau that, by making use of its
referendum, is able to discover just what the farmer wants in the way
of legislation and go about getting that thing for him in an intelligent
and effective manner.
The Farm Bureau has proven already that it is quite capable Of
looking after the farmers legislative needs in the nations capitol.

II. c. Mckenzie of New York is the
tax expert Of the American Farm Bureau
Federation. His research on taxation
has resulted in the Farm Bureau tax
policy Of no sales tax. keep the excess
profits tax, and amend the Constitution
so as to assess t~ax-free securities.
Mr.. McKenzie's work has resulted in
the defeat Of the sales tax program which
would have levied a tax on everything a
farmer buys and enabled the rich folk to
escape paying the income tax on their
big profits.
Mr.. Mckenzie is a member of the Exec
utive Committee of the American Farm
Bureau Federation from New York and
president Of the Delaware County Farm
Bureau. He was born on a farm eighteen
miles from H~arrisburgh, Pa. He attended
the district school. and graduated from
the Duncannon High School and the
Chambersburg Academy. At n time
he worked for the Pennsylvania Steel
Company and had charge of the payrolls
for 1000 men. He has been interested
in the lumber business in North Carolina
and in New York. He ran a general grain
farm in Pennsylvania, raised corn and
cotton in North Carolina, and ran a hun
dred-cow dairy in New York. He has
been interested in studying taxation all
his life, and when the Farm Bureau found
him was well equipped tc apply a farmers
mind to the great problem of national
revenue.

PRESIDENT A D N
WRITES A BOOK and one OF his

leading chapters had to do with
american Agriculture"
Here are a few OF the statements
the President makes:
Heretofore the farmer has been
an individualist. He has not had
a ready means of defense against
the strong organizations of both
capital and labor which in their
own interest have at times imposed
unfair conditions upon him. II is
true that at times during the past
fifty years, there have been temper
airy farmers organizations brought ,
together to combat some unusually
burdensome conditions but usually
breaking down when the emergency
has passed.
but of late years there have
sprung up farmer organizations of
a quite different sort-organiza-
tons with a very large membership,
with an aggressive and intelligent
leadership. and with a way Of rails
ing whatever funds they may find
necessary to promote the interests
of their members. The leaders of
these organizations are learning
rapidly how to adapt to their work
the methods which business men
and working men have found sue
cessful in furthering their own in
terests."

All Plans Laid for Big Member.
ship Drive-POsters Up
Movies Scheduled.

Every farmer in this county is to be
invited to join the Farm Bureau, according
to announcement issued from County
Farm Bureau headquarters today. All
plans are carefully laid for the big men,
bership drive. You will hear little else
for the next month, and after that you
will be working in your County Farm
Bureau, State Farm Bureau, and The
American Farm Bureau to accomplish for
agriculture in an organized way what no
man can do for himself alone.
The County Farm Bureau Office is a bee
hive OF industry. Representatives of the
American Farm Bureau and the State
Farm Bureau have been here and set up
all the machinery for the most successful
county membership drive in the state.
Posters and pole cards have been received
and are being displayed everywhere. Our
business men, living up to their reputation
Of serving their farmer friends at every
opportunity, are calling for more posters
to put in their windows. Have you seen
the Farm Bureau posters1 Well, then,
this reporter will not spoil your surprise.
Oh boy! Those big red, yellow, blue and
green posters just make you want to get
right up and join. They tell the whole
story. Some of the best known artists in
Chicago and New York have declared that
the Farm Bureau display stands among
the most successful examples Of the poster
art. They are outranked only by two of
the posters used so effectively in the
Liberty Loan drives.
Campaign is Nation Wide.
What sharpening here is scheduled to
happen in every other county in the
United States-within the next year. II is
part of the Farm Bureaus drive for a mil
lion new members. The Farm Bureau
is already the biggest organization of
farmers in the world, but needs a hundred
per cent increase in membership in order
to do It's most effective work. Eve shall
never be satisfied until every farmer in
America is given an opportunity to Join
this movement" said ]. r. Howard. the
Iowa farmer who is president OF the
American Farm Bureau, when he launched
the nationwide drive.
"One farm family u of six wearing the
Farm Bureau emblem is not enough"
declared Secretary John W. Coverdale.
mo less than half Of all the farm people
of America will join the Farm Bureau
when they understand what it will do for
them"
AND we expect to give every one Of
them a personal invitation to come in"

Farmers Represent
SO Per Cent of Wealth

One-third OF the population of the
United States is made up OF farmers who
produce each year eighteen per cent of
the wealth and represent ffty-two per
cent Of the total wealth OF the nation.
Only recently-in the last two years
since the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton has been speaking for farmers as a
class-have these facts been given the
significance due them.

record for the state while we are at It.
The suggestion has met with the hearty
approval Of the farmers who have talked
II over. the county officials, the town bust
ness men who are interested in seeing the
farmers organized and prosperous, and all
who have a pride in seeing this county
lead in everything it undertakes. The
state record will not be made on total
membership, but on the percentage OF our
farmers who sign-up in the Farm Bureau
campaign. All right! Let's 60! as the
auto-sticker said to the Farm Bureau
poster.
