'arming, icas • A Republic (Continued from Page 1) largest general farm organiza tion in the U.S. In Pennsyl vania, Fleming said, 100 per oent of the organized counties showed a membership gain. Also, he said, the Pennsylvan ia Association mem bership has increased every year since it was organized in 1851 as the state unit of AFBF. He reviewed some of the basic beliefs of AFBF that have been stated by the voting delegates. In addition to those already expressed in the Con stitution these included; “that 4he centralization of power and authority iu the federal government, the movement to socialize America, the apathy of the American people toward Ibis trend, and the apparent lade of responsibility on the part of individual citizens are among the greatest dangers threatening our republic and our system of private competi tive enterprize;” “That the exercise of mo nopolistic power in any form —whether by government, in dustry, labor, or agriculture— jeopardizes freedom and self government ” Fleming struck hard at the federal government’s plans to supervise and control agricul ture through the use of di- HE CAN USE IT ALL YEAR LONG ...WHY NOT NOW?

It is not a plan to es tablish a free market; it is a proposal to wreck markets.” The concept of compensatory payments provides an invita tion for politically determined limitations on the farm in comes of individual producers, Fleming said. Fleming told the visiting farmers that over the years AFBF has been fortunate to have had courageous, elected leadership. The policies of the organization have attracted that kind of men and women, the official said. They have also had competent and dedi cated career employees. The latter are essential to any functioning organization, Flem ing said, but they are no sub stitute for locally and nation ally elected leadership. To be successful in the future “—we are going to need to get the kind of membership involve ment in programs and activi ties never before thought pos sible or necessary.” Fleming pointed out that AFBF has a history, and a wealth of experience, in op posing the aims of govern ment-controlled agriculture “It is not easy,” he said, “for N.
