BETTER ORGANIZATION
OF STATE SOUGHT NOW
BY THE FARM BUREAU

Seeking to place Minnesota farmers
in line to make the most of the new
Federal Farm Marketing Act, the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation
during the month of September will
carry on statewide activity aimed to
largely increase the membership of
the Farm Bureau in all Minnesota
counties.
In carrying out this program, the
Minnesota Federation is acting in uni
son with the American Farm Bureau
Federation, of which Sam H. Thomp-
son, of Quincy, Illinois, is president
The present, Mr.. Thompson believes,
is the time to capitalize on the ma
tional interest in the condition of the
farmer, and make completely effective
the program of organized agriculture.
Success of this program, he says, de-
ponds on a majority of farm people
thinking and acting in unison.
This principle, which has been adj
vOcated as Farm Bureau gospel since
the creation of the organization, was
recently given governmental sanction
by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde.
Other public men, including senators
and congressman, in discussing the
agricultural situation, have stressed

The retirement of DR.. Work as
Chairman leaves vacancy for which
there are many candidates. 1t is be-
lieved that the south will be remem-
bered for its support of the Hoover
candidacy in the reorganization of the
Republican Committee. The President
is also represented as interested in
the campaigns for the Senate and
House, which will be officially under
way this fall. The entire membership
of the House is elected every two
years and one-third of the Senate
changes. The President has definite
ideas on legislation which he realizes
cannot be effected unless he has
working majority in both Houses. His
political advisers have informed him
that sentiment quickly changes so
that the large majorities that were
piled up in the Presidential campaign
give no assurances of similar returns
in an "off-year" when candidates are
selected more for their personal quail
fications than on the basis of party
platforms, as is the case in President
ial campaign years.
