 in preparation for the reorgan-

 agreements were signed. A bank-

Odds Against City Boys— i 

 Girls In Popular Favor 



"Nobody wants a boy!" 



Strange as that -statement may 

 seem, yet it appears to be the. 

 case in reading the majority of 

 applications from - farm bureau 

 folks who are willfng to .gire 

 ChlcaKo slums kiddies a two- 

 week outing. 



In fact in the applications so 

 far received, the demand for girls 

 outnumbers the call for boys just 

 four to one. 



Several are quite emphatic in 

 tlieir demand for girls, others give 

 the lasses as first choice but will 

 take boys, while the small ma- 

 jority are' requesting boys only. 



What's the reason? It can't be 

 because of last summer's experi- 

 ences with boys because tlie odds 

 favored the girls then also. Then 

 asain. the I. A. A. has had no 

 complaints from farm bureau 

 families who did "put up" with

Endorse Co-Operation 



The conference went on record 

 in support of co-operative grain 

 marketing but split on the ques- 

 tion of governmental price fixing. 

 Representatives of the American 

 Farm Bureau Federation votfd 

 against any attempt to fix a defi- 

 nite price on wheat ttirough gov- 

 ernmental agencies. 



Speakers 



There were several prominent 

 speakers during the two days' 

 sessions. O. E. Bradfute, presi- 

 dent of the American Farm Bu- 

 reau Federation, urged one great 

 national body of fafiiiers to bring 

 about regulated production and 

 better distribution of wheat, to- 

 gether with a campaign for in- 

 creased consumption. 



President Samuel Oompers of 

 the American Federation of La- 

 bor, made an especially strong 

 address, emphasizing the necessity 

 for farmers to lay more stress on 

 organization. 



city laddies tor the two weeki 

 last year. 1 



In fact, it is a rather queer 

 proposition. 



To be frank, the Outing Secre- 

 tary of the I. A. A. doesn't like 

 it. When slie saw itttle boys cry- 

 ing last summer l)ecause their sis- 

 ters went -to the country while* 

 they had no chance, she decided ^ 

 the boys were getting the worst j 

 of the bargain. 



Now, Jo be truthful, does It 

 look to you as if it's just ex- 

 actly fair? 



"Let's give the boys a chance!"
