Farm Bureau Group Okays Resolutions
Delegates at the 36th New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau convention in Las Cruces pass about 100 resolutions on farm policy and welfare. New officers include W. B. McAlister as president and Mark Rickman as director of the Women's Committee. Resolutions urge bipartisan action on farm policy, a five point program to reduce price supported surpluses, and avoidance of farm labor coalitions. They oppose government education aid tied to controls, seek welfare review boards, repeal of certain social security provisions for farmers, and a right to work law. A call also supports a federal injunction against cloud seeding and supports an elected state board for education.
