Tractor Plowing Demonstration. There will, be a tractor demon siration near Rensselaer Saturday, September 11,'in the afternoon. Watch for notice of place. The driers "of Rensselaer are behind this project. They wish to pull off a clean demonstration which will not only show. up the different tractors but be a benefit to you, giving you an idea of the anfount of ground that you can turn over in - just a short time,, etc. They are certainly a labor saving device and by actual experience I have found this to be true. Good plowing and a well pulverized and packed seed bed always produces the best wheat. Come and see the demonstration. The New Birth—The A. F. B. F. Farmers bestir themselves slowly. Like the 'good Quaker, they desire to ponder any matter well. The very nature of their employment makes the opportunity for contemplation. There is no need for a private office shut off from the ever-shifting throng. Behind the plow, astride the binder, or wherever he may be, he has the beasts of the field and the birds of the air for his companions. The setting is not only, suggestive, but prompts thinking in a straight line. This, no doubt, explains the sanity of the farmer’s judgment, onee it has crystalized. To many people it is simply astounding to see the farmer organizing so rapidly and putting up his own good money to back up his belief. He is scarcely a year old as a state organization, until he launches a National organization, well represented, splendidly backed and wisely directed. ' There are 700,000 farmers now who are members of the American 'Farm Bureau Federation. Can you i believe it? They come from 28 , States. They have a budget of < $200,000 for the first year. J. R. ‘Howard of Clemons, lowa, a farmer «of National reputation, was chosen ’president. He is to receive $15,000 ipr year salary and $3,000 per year • for traveling expenses. The national headquarters are located in Chicago. The officers and twelve - national directors are neither faddists nor I theorists; just observe the prdgram work. The Executive Committee was instructed to set up without delay a business organisation under

the direction of trained experts and create Bureaus, or divisions as follows: 1. A bureau of transportation which will look into transportation matters by both rail and water, to the end that we may secure rates on farm products which shall be fair as compared with rates on other commodities,. and which shall give to the farmers of the United States ocean rates which will enable him to compete on a fair basis with the farmers of other nations of the world. ~ 2. A bureau of trade relations which shall investigate dur. dealings with foreign countries to the end that the interests of agriculture may be promoted. 3. A bureau of distribution which shall make a thorough study of the distribution of farm products. 4. A bureau of statistics which shall inquire into world conditions which influence supply and demand, and which shall especially study the mechanics of prices. 5. A legislative bureau which shall have to do with matters of National legislation which affect farming and fanners. 6. A bureau of co-operation which wiH- make a special study of co-operation methods which have been found to be successful, both here and in other countries. 7. A bureau of publicity. The conspicuous feature of this whole plan is that farmers without further ado are developing ways and means of ascertaining the facts. They are not leaping into the dark without looking for a lighting place. When the facts are discovered, whether it be transportation,, trade relations, .or whatever it may be, the procedure will be orderly, in the open and in a straight-forward manner. We have gone on record as opposed to radicals and reactionaries. We declare the strike no longer justifiable and no longer to be tolerated by a long suffering public. Whatever attitude other groups of society may take, this guarantees to the public that farmers understand their duty.
