Patton, who wears a piratical black patch over his left eye (it was removed in a cancer operation), built the N.F.U. from a struggling organization of 80,681 dirt-poor, Dust Bowl farm families to its present eminence as one of the Big Three of U.S. agrarian lobbies, with a membership of 750,000-mostly small farmers-in 40 states.
