FARMER CONGRESS
The approaching annual conVen'
ton Of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation, to be held at st. Paul,
January to 10. promises to be a
farmers congress in every sense OF
the expression. County Farm Bur-
eaus that are holding their annual

gates, a new feature in connection
with this years annual meeting.
Members Of the house Of delegates
will have the right Of the floor in
discussions, but voting power will
be vested in the county director, as
heretofore. The suggestion. which
came from the state Office last
month, calls for three members
from each county, but in several
instances more are being sent. In
Dodge county, the annual meeting
voted to send six local leaders. The
first day of the convention will be
devoted to a series Of addresses by
nationally known Farm Bureau
leaders, and will be held at, Univer-
sity Farm. as part of the annual
Farmers and Home Makers week.
o. e. Bradfute, president OF the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, E. H. Cunningham, prominent
Farm Bureau worker from Iowa and
now member of the Federal Reserve
board, and Mrs. Elizabeth Richard
son Of Pella, Iowa, are scheduled to
speak on that day. The convention,
after the first day, will be devoted
to the formation of Farm Bureau
policies for the coming year. No
step will be overlooked to make the
meeting a working conference, with
adequate time given to all problems
that will come before the delegates.

peace, or the resumption of war. In the
public view, the Importance attached to
American participation in the actual con-
ference is attributed to the recent ratifi-
cation by the Turkish parliament of the
Chester concession. granting the United
States extensive rights for the construc-
too of railways across Turkey and the
exploitation of mining properties in a
zone of twenty kilometers on each side
of the projected railways. In Great Bri-
tain and France this concession is regard
ed with disquietude, and as economic
questions will be among the chief sub
iects of controversy between the Turks
and the Allies, it is expected that the
two countries will oppose it. Soviet Rus
STA will not be represented at the confer
ence, recent reports that Tchitcherine,

having been confirmed. France probably
