head the new American Farm Bureau
Federation, job he has held ever since.
It was tremendous responsibility, but
Jim Howard rose to it.
President Howard's 488-acre farm IS at
Clemons, Iowa, in Marshall County. He
calls It Homeland" Elms and naples
surround the fine old farmhouse which he
has modernized with his own hands, in
staling his own plumbing, furnace, and
light plant. Great crops Of corn are
grown on the Howard farm. Every year
Jim Howard feeds from 200 to 800 spring
pigs and 2 to 6 carloads Of steers. He
keeps a band of ewes also, and contributes
carload Of fat lambs to the worlds
mutton supply.
Mr.. Howard is 4S years old. After
completing his high school course, Howard
attended Grinnel and Penn Colleges in
Iowa. His college career was finished at
the University Of Chicago, where he
specialized in economics and history.
After finishing his college course-he taught
economics in a college in South Carolina
for time. Then he went back to Mar
shall County, Iowa, and was married. He
was cashier Of the New Providence State
Bank for a time and then bought the old
home. About ten years ago the success
OF his farming operations began to attract
the attention Of the Iowa State College.
He helped organize and was the first
president of the Marshall County Farm
Bureau. When the Iowa Farm Bureau
{ federation was organized, he was elected
its first president. When the American
Farm Bureau Federation was organized,
ne was elected its first president.
No one who has seen Jim Howard
doubts that he belongs to the modern
school Of real farmers. He stands full six
feet tall and is lean and ft. He carries,
not pound Of supertuous weight and
tips the scales at 1877 The grip of his
handshake, the light in his eyes, and his
smile bespcak personality behind which,
tenaelty Of purpose is linked with sin.

Baton Rouge, March II, 1922.
Mr.. A. F. Rolf, Editor Modern Farm
ing, New Orleans, La.
Dear Sir:-It is a pleasure for me
to express my endorsement Of the
farm Bureau moVmeent.
| The success which has attended
| the development of the Farm Bureau
in score or more Of other State is
in itself evidence Of the great possi-
| bilities this movement holds for the
! development of any agricultural
| community.
| believe that the organization of
Parish Farm Bureaus and their fed
Grafton into a strong State Farm Bu-
| reaus, working with the American
Farm Bureau Federation will pro-
vide the machinery necessary to en-
able agricultural producers to per-
feet commodity marketing associa-
tiOns which will return more salts
factory prices for their products,
am in favor of any kind Of farm or
ganization that will enable our farm
ers to sell comparatively. It seems
/ at present that the Federal Farm
Bureau is one of the best and strong
est organizations that we have ever
had among the farmers in the Unit
ed States.
I hope to seel the rapid develop
ment of the Farm Bureau in Louisi-
ana, and urge our farmers to par
ticipate in this movement without
delay.
Very truly yours,

Commissioner of Agriculture and

Farmers live by hope, faith and

Elgin, Joliet and Eastern, where en-.
sineers, firemen, conductors and train.
men refused to work because Of the
presence OF troops in the Joliet, Ill.
yards further complicated the railroad
strike situation Thursday.
Leaders OF the "big four" left TO
the train service men the right to de-
eide for themselves whether working
conditions at terminals were objec.
tionable, Warren s. Stone, president
OF the brotherhood OF Locomotive En-.
gineers declared at Cleveland that the
walkout OF trainmen on the E. J. & e.
did not require any approval"
"Our men are not required to work
under conditions as now prevail at
many railroad terminals" he said. 81

should go home and stay there"
Troops remained on guard in Joliet

on public relations of the Association
OF railway executives. of the railroad
view of President Hardings proposals
and the position of leaders of the
shipments strike. made public, said
that a large majority OF the public
had been misled regarding the stand
OF union leaders and that there is
considerable confusion over the presi.
dents proposal with respect to the
senioity questions.
with respect to seniority, there
still seems to be confusion in many
peoples minds as to exactly what the
president originally proposed. He pro.
posed simply that the employees who
struck be taken back with the same
seniority rights that they had before
they struck.
This meant that strikers who for.
merly had seniority over employees
who stayed at work would recover
their seniority over these men and
that they would be given seniority ov-
er all new men who have been en-
ployed since the strike began. This
would mean that practically every en-
ployee who was low on the seniority
list and stayed at work. would be put
back in his former position on the
seniority list where he would be given
regular employment.

PROPOSALS
Members Of Brotherhood on Western
Line Refuse to Work Unless
Troops Are Taken From

San Francisco.--Paralysi of the
entire western territory of the Sante
Fe system was the prospect facing Of
ficials of that railway Friday as re-
suit of the sudden walkout Thursday
of members of the big four brother
hoods. the engineers. firemen, con-
ductors and trainnlen, on several far
western divisions. The union men
explained that their action was taken
as protest against armed guards on
railway property and against the al
legged condition of certain equipment.
Members OF the brotherhoods said
they would no longer move trains
through points where armed guards
were stationed.
Several passenger trains, including
the eastbound California limited, de-
serted by their crews. were stalled at
points In Arizona or southeastern Cal
ifornia. Some were stranded in
scorchingly hot desert spots.
A wrecking crew was assigned to
remove a locomotive which had been
run into turn table pit at San
Bernardino, blocking entrance to the
round house.
At Los Angeles, II was said that
further conferences were possible
between brotherhood representatives
and officials OF the Santa Fe.
After word reached Los Angeles
OF trains being held up at Needles,
Barstow and Bakersfield. Calf, l. L.
Hubbard. general manager of the Sante
Fee coast lines. whose trains we're
affected by this sudden sequel to the
shipments strike, met general chair
man OF the conductors, firemen. en-
gineers. trainmen and the joint asso-
citation of engineers and trainmen in
conference.
At its conclusion Mr.. Hubbard stat
ed that unless conditions were chang.
ed. Santa Fe officials would advise
passengers not to take trains likely
to be held up. Brotherhood represen-
tatives indicated there was little they
could do until they had communicated
with their executives In the east and
had learned the exact situation at
western railway points affected.
Mr.. Hibbard said he had told broth
erhood officials that IL they would
promise there would be no disorders,
such as had been reported from Need
les, the Sante Fee would remove its
armed guards from company property
