In your report of the Farmer's picnic at Katt owamp your re porter makes me say, "that the farmers should keep out of poli tics." This is in error.

I ask you to kindly print this correction, for the reason that 1 believe the farmers should take a hand in politics, and should see that the great interests they represent are rightly guarded and defend ed by the men who fill our public offices and' should make sure they will do so before their vote8 put them in those offices .
