On Farm Program
Mr.. Thatcher reviewed the hist
DRY of the National Grain corpora
ton and claimed it was the most
successful, with the possible ex
ception of the cotton corporation
of any of the units cooperating I'M
der the marketing act. The had had
$50, 900, 900 from the board but had
paid it back except SIG, 200, 900.
He paid his respects to any who
sought to use an organization for
political ends. l am not a Republi-
can or Democrat, he said, | do not
claim to carry the vote any organ
ization in my vest pocket. | loath
anyone who tries to drag the or
%ganization he works for into poll
tics and deliver it to either party
Emphasizing his point that Meth
er the democrat nor the republican
party offers a satisfactory solution
for the farmers problems, he said:
"Your politics are a farm home
with cost of production so that you
can live with your family in peace
and happiness. The only way you

write your own program pro-
gram that some politician will ride
TO everlasting glory on when les
puts it over as his own plan"
He asserted that every candi-
dite on the two major parties was
either dumb, or uniformed or in
sincere with respect to American
agriculture, for not one of these
candidates says that he will make
it his business to see that every
American dollar shall be preserved
for the Americans use.
81 hope to live long enough to
e a Farm Union program SO pos
tive, so clear, that there will be
no mistaking what it is all about.
that the farmer from Oklahoma
and the farmer from North Dakota
can converse about their program
and they will talk the same lang
uage. I hope that the Farm Union
as a national organization will have
program so we'll known and 81
advertised that every Con-
gresham will know what it is"
he said.
