PROGRAM FOR FARM BUREAU MEET RELEASED Annual State Gathering To Be Most Important Since Bureau’s Organization Indianapolis, Nov- 16—(Special) — The program for the annual convention of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation to be held at the Claypool hotel ih Indianapolis, November 25 and 26 was announced this week. According to officials, it is expected to be the most important meeting of farmers in Indiana since the inception of the federation ten years ago, because. of the relationship to the Federal Farm Board created by the agricultural marketing act wherein farm aid is to be accomplished through organized agriculture. On the first day of the convention. Frank (). Lowden, ex-governor of Illinois will address the delegates and visitors on farm tax problems. At 10 a. m the convention will be called to order by President W. H. Settle and conference singing will be lead by Sam Molter of Newton county. Invocation will he given by Rev. O. P. Manker of Carroll county. Following the president's address at this time, Z. M. Smith, state director of vocational education will explain the “Future Farmers of America’’ movement in Indiana. In the afternoon a general discussion of a new constitution for the federation will take place which will be followed by a report of the credentials committee. Winners' among the boys and girls of the state in a farm bureau essay contest will be announced and the winning essays read by the authors to the convention. Mr. Lowden's address will come at this time, closing the afternoon session. In the evening, the annual farm bureau banquet will be held in the Riley room of the hotel. A male quartet will open the evening program which will be followed by an address by Vice-President James C. Stone of the Federal Farm Hoard relative to the relationship of the agricultural marketing act to the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation and allied organizations. Jay county farm loaders will provide entertainment numbers. A report of the rules committee will be made after which the election of officers will follow. The second day's session will convene at 9:30 a. m. and will be opened by conference singing, after which Mrs. Walter GreeJiough, president of the Indiana League of Women Voters, will address the convention. Harvey B. Hartsock, Indianapolis, attorney (or tlie federation will present the new proposed articles of incorportion.

The farm bureau insurance department will meet in the evening at a banquet in the Travertine room of the Lincoln hotel with H. R. Nevins, director in charge, presiding as toastmaster. It is expected that more than 2,000 delegates and visitors will attend the sessions of the convention. Reasons Advanced for Bigger Farm Bureau Membership it is announced this week at state farm bureau headquarters in Indianapolis tliat Intensive membership campaigns are now being planned or are in progress in all the counties of the state. M. Cliff Townsend, director of organization has arranged for one day farm bureau conferences -in the various counties at which two representatives from the state office will enlighten local leaders and solicitors regarding the various accomplishments made by the farm bureau during the past ten years of its existence. Various reasons for joining the farm bureau for 1930 are being advanced by tlie state leaders at this time. They say, “The farm bureau is worth every penny it has cost the farmers of the state and nation by being in position to speak for organized agriculture. As an organization it has kept the needs of the farmer before the public during the past ten years. It has fought for equality for agriculture and has been largely instrumental in developing a national agricultural policy that has culminated in the new agricultural marketing act and the appointment of a federal farm board. “Relative to individual benefits to farmers the farm bureau has fostered cooperative marketing of live stock, grain, wool, dairy products and other farm commodities which has resulted in establishing more efficient markets and in obtaining additional profits for the producers. Through its tax and transportation activities it lias saved thousands of dollars for farmers. Through collective purchasing of farm supplies, it. has been able again to save them money. Certainly no farm bureau member can claim tliat lie has not received full benefit, for his annual investment of $5 membership fee, if he lias tried to take advantage of the opportunities offered.”
