This nation has accepted and grown accustomed to financial blocs, commercial blocs, industrial blocs, and other groups formed to control legislative action. We resent therefore the implication that ag riculture introduced a new element resentatives from farm districts in in legislation when senators and rep both parties began to work together to protect the interests of their states.. Furthermore, we believe that such organization among senators and representatives in agricultural states and districts has never been as effective or as thorough-going as it should have been, and we urge them at once to organize themselves into an aggressive and effective unit, regardless of party, to express and work for the economic interest of agriculture." In carrying out the spirit of the foregoing, we wish to take this oc casion to express our appreciation of your vote on the legislation in the last session aimed to secure agricul tural equality. We sincerely trust that you will realize that our motive in writing you is nst political.
