1936 Elizabeth Bobbett: Letter to the Irish Independent, 16.11.1936

Farmers’ Federation

Sir. I was very interested in a letter signed “Do Something,” which was published in the Irish Independent on the 9th instant re the organisation of farmers. For the benefit of your readers, I wish to make known that farmers of eleven counties and the Saorstat Pig Breeders’ and Feeders’ Association are most willing to co-operate in the formation of the Irish Farmers’ Federation, which is strictly non-political, non-sectarian, and non-everything save the farmers’ interests. The promoters of the Federation have been working for this united move for several years, but we know there are many people whose interest is to keep the farmers divided. Any of your readers who have the farmers’ interests at heart and have suggestions to make which will benefit the farmers, I would be glad if they would write to me.

(Miss) Elizabeth F. Bobbett, Secretary, Irish Farmers’ Federation. Springfield, Kilbride, Wicklow.
