I Send Greetings To 



You'^ Wires Bradtute 



O. E. Bradfute, president of the American Farm Bureau Federa- 

 tion, this morning wired the Picnic Edition of the Record the following 

 greeting Xa members of the Illinois Agricultural Association: 



**l send greetings to you as a fellow farmer as well as President 

 of your national organization. I would like to be with you in person 

 but a regional conference of the Farm Bureau executives of The 

 Pacific Northwest takes me to California. We have much the same 

 problems, I find, in every part of the country. Such conditions go to 

 prove the sanity and wisdom of these who first sav/ the vision of the 

 local Farm Bureaus Joining into a state Farm Bureau and the states 

 in turn to Jfederate into The American Farm Bureau Federation. Fly 

 by night or emergency organizations of one kind or another usually 

 are futile and do not leave a record of accomplishment. 



The record of your own county Farm Bureaus, of The Illinois Agri- 

 cultural Association and of The American Farm Federation prove that 

 Agriculture cannot build and progress properly on the theory of "any 

 old port in a storm." Neither can we delegate to other organizations 

 that which we should do ourselves. Agriculture must stand four- 

 square and at no time should there be a break in the lines. We cannot 

 aid in solving our difficult problems, and we have many of them, by 

 shirking our responsibility. No one ever gained anything for him- 

 self or those to whom he is directly responsible by not seeking out the 

 right and then aiding to put it over. Boost for Agriculture with your 

 right hand unless of course you are naturally left handed." 



O. E. BRADFUTE, 

 * President, American Farm Bureau Federation.

BOB COWLE'S RED 



MAP IS FAMOUS 



Every state in the Union has had 

 a glimpse ot the red map which din- 

 plays the support given the .Mt-Nary- 

 Haugen bill during the spring. Re- 

 quests for extra copies of the mail 

 liave been so numerous that about 15,- 

 1100 extra copies were distributed. 



R. A. Cowles. director of finance, 

 drew up the map. He had an inter- 

 esting time in Washington during thi; 

 tight. He knows more polities th^ii 

 \uu could shake a stick at. He's also 

 secretary of the American Council of 

 .\griculture. 



After drawing up the map, I3oh. 

 whose native home is in Klooniiugton 

 and who is acquainted with lots of 

 IMjople in tlip Hloomington and Lincoln 

 territories, had a hit of calls to tell 

 about the political significance of the 

 map. So he has been a busy man — 

 hut not to<i busy to buy, try and di.s- 

 eard all the standard, non-standard 

 and maverick brands of pipe toliacco 

 he can liud. Did you notice his brand 

 today?
