among 17 ladies from the

Texas Farmers Union in
the Ladies Legislative
Fly-In to Washington Ap-
ril 26-29.
The fly-in is designed
as a “grass-roots lobby-

which is of priority im-
portance to farmers, is
the passage of a farm pro-
gram at the expiration of
the present commodity
programs this year.
The ladies participat-
ing in the National Far-
mers Union Ladles Leg-
181 a t i v e Fly-In called
Congress’ attention to
the Importance of passing
a long-range farm prog-
ram to provide adequate
income to the rural area.
The ladies called to the
attention of members of
Congress the fact that
farmers are working to-
gether in solid agreement
In support of the Coalition
Farm Bill sponsored by
Congressman Graham
Purcell of Wichita Falls.
The ladies also discus-
sed the importance of the
Agricultural Conser-
vation Program, which is

considered the first line
of environmental defense.
The school milk program
and high interest rates
also came in for attention
by the ladies who were
lobbying in the nation’s
capitol.
During the three-day
period, teams of Farm-
ers Union ladies were to
contact all 535 members
of Congress and the Sen-
ate. They were to visit the
Department of Agri-
culture and be briefed on,
current farm legislation
and proposals for the fu-
ture.
Although the Ladies
Fly-In Program is pri-
marily a business trip,
the ladies expected to
take time off to do some
sight-seeing In * the na-
tion’s capitol. An ex-
cursion was planned to
visit the places of historic
and cultural interest in
Washington. They were
entertained by members
of Congress at a congres-
sional breakfast and par-
ticipated in a special Tex-
as dinner.
Texas Farmers Union
official, President Jay
Naman of Waco, states
that the ladies were in
Washington at a most
critical time. He said,
“Our ladies’ presence in
Washington comes at a
most strategic time. The
outcome of the farm pro-
gram battle could well
depend on how effective
and persuasive the ladles
are with members of Con-
gress.”
