The meeting was presided over by C. W. Wilson, president, and Tom treasurer.

H. Stuart, secretary and H. Huskey president of the Hempstead County Farm Bureau, talked to the on "Stronger Farm Organization." He explained how some of the other Farm Bureaus in Northwest Arkansas are organized against fire, hail, tornado and other disasters. Clifford L. Smith, county agent, talked on possibilities of the livestock program in Hempstead county, farmers first to sod their pastures to bermuda and seed them to Burr clover, and Lcspedcza.

He stated that no farmer could expect to have a normal pasture unless the pasture WHS mowed, since all weeds in this section propogatc from seed that could be easily eradicated by mowing prior to the time the seed matured. The group entered into a general discussion on how the present Farm Program could be changed to benefit the needs of the farmers in the Columbus community. The following results were adopted: 1. That cotton allotments should gotten out to the farmers by or before January 1 of each year. 2.

That farmers within a given county should have the power to vote as to whether or not Administartivc areas should be set up. Under the present program this power is in the hands of the three County Committcemen. 3. That if a percentage factor is to be used in determining the cotton allotment on a basis of the cultivated land that this factor should be used on the basis of the performance for year in which the program is in effect. The group went on ercord as favoring three phases of pending legislation: 1.

The continuation of per cent interest on land in the Federal Land Bank. 2. Provisions for farmers marketing vegetable products and poultry to be able to enact the marketing agreement act. 3.

Hopkins and Thomas Corcoran, New Deael strategist. Wearin, who campaigned on the claim that the national administration was supporting his candidacy, ha dthc tacit support of James Roosevelt and the outright endorsement of Hopkins. All the "outside" participation, however, was not limited to assistance for Wearin. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, in a last minute telegram advised the working man to support Gillette. Senators Wheeler and Borah and other colleagues of Gillette, raised a furious dtorm in Washington after Hopkins announced he would have voted for Wearin "if I lived in Iowa." Senatorial criticism of "playing politics with relief" caused observers to watch closely for election trends at- tribuatablc ot the 33,500 WPA workers on the rolls in this state.

The Hopkins endorsement also had its repercussions in Iowa. Gov. Nelson G. K.raschcl telegraphed the WPA official his "resentment" at the la tier's "interference" in the Iowa race. Iowa's Treasurer Leo J.

Wegman, however, a Wearin campaign aide, flowed Krasch- cls' statement with a telegram of commendation to'Hopkins for his Wcarin stand.

The Three Musketeers divided into three purls equals Altos plus Porthos plus Answers on Classified The Farm Bureau was successful in its efforts to amend the wagc-and- hour bill on the floor of the house to broaden and clarify the language relative to the definition of "employes employed in agriculture," despite strong opposition from supporters of the measure, according to information received by H. H.

Huskey, president of the Hempstead County Farm Bureau from the American Farm Bureau Federation, through the state office of the Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation. The fight to clarify the definition as reported by the labor committee, so as to include in the exemption all em- ployes working in elevators, gins, creameries and canneries, when located in rural areas, was carried to the floor by Congressman Fred Bicrman of Iowa, in the form of the following amendment, which was passed: 'Employes engaged in agriculture' includes individuals employed within the area of production, engaged in the handling, packing, storing, ginning, pasteurizing, drying, or cannig of farm products and in making cheese and butter." Nocffort was made to amend the definition of agriculture as reported by the labor committee, as the exemption of agricultural labor employed by farmers on farms was found to be adequate. Congressman Bicrman, in discussing his amendments on the floor of the house, said that the "members from tlie South will agree that the man who raises the cotton pays for ginning the cotton. When the cost of making butter, when the cost of making cheese, when the cost of ginning cotton increases, the fanner gets just so much less mid our contention, and the contention of the farm organizations is that this bill designed to help labor should not be so worded that it puts another burden on the agriculture of this country." He also quoted a couple of sentences from a letter he had received from Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, who stated that "we believe the bill should be clarified so as to assure the exemption of employes in such agriculture and horticulture industries in rural areas.

Failure to exempt these operations when performed in rural areas where conditions arc so greatly different from the situation in large industrial and urban centers, will result in increased costs of pro- cctsuiE and handling these products which will be reflected back in lower (Continued on Page Three) A Thought tlic noblest AJI honest man's work of 1 of Tourists Is Critically Hurt Four Others Are Out of Danger, Physicians Report Physicians at Josephine hospital said Tuesday afternoon (hat four of five persons injured in a head-on collision of two automobiles northeast of Hope Monday were out of the fifth person remained in a critical condition.
