 survey to determine the actual farm 

 losses incurred. 



Distribution Committee Fnnctlons 

 Others od this distribution com- 

 mittee, which was formed in co-op- ' 

 eration with Samuel R. Guard of 

 the Sears Roebuclc Agricultural 

 Foundatlao and George Thiem of 

 Prairie Farmer, are: Ed Creighton, 

 White county farm adviser; J. M. 

 Krebbs, head of County Relief, 

 White county; Fred Deetz, Presi- 

 dent, Jackson County Farm Bureau ; 

 Fred Biere, Murphysboro; C. J. 

 Thomas, Jackson county farm ad- 

 viser; W. K. Galeener, Williamson 

 county farm adviser; J. E. Whit- 

 church, Saline county farm adviser; 

 President Fowler of the Saline 

 County Farm Bureau; E. E. Gliek, 

 Franklin county farm adviser, Ben- 

 ton; Chas. Crisp, Benton; H. H. 

 Webb, Mulkeytown. Geo. Thiem of 

 thP Prairie Farmer and F. A. Goug- 

 ler of the I. A. A., were made ex- 

 oQcio members. 



Great credit is due the county 

 Farm Bureaus in the tornado dis- 

 trict and adjacent to that area for 

 their quick assistance to the in- 

 jured and for their business-like or- 

 ganization for relief. 



WIS on llie Job (And Tlien Some) 

 Appeals for money from farmers 

 for farmers have been made over 

 WLS by many persons connected 

 with the organizations represented 

 on the Grubstake Committee. That 

 no discrimination between members 

 and non-members of the Farm Bu- 

 reau should be made in collecting 

 funds and that none would be made 

 in their administration was the 

 foundation - thought when plans 

 were first made in Secretary Fox's 

 office by him and Editors Page and 

 Gregory of Orange Judd Illinois 

 Farmer and Prairie Farmer. The 

 county Farm Bureaus were asked 

 to utilize their organization ma- 

 chinery Id collecting funds for this 

 general tarm relief. 



Frank A. Gougler, I. A. A. direc- 

 tor of poultry and egg marketing, 

 was dispatched by Secretary Fox to 

 the scene of the tornado soon after 

 the news reached Chicago. He was 

 requested to make a survey of con- 

 ditions and report. He found that 

 practically all of the assistance so 

 far had gone to city people, yet the 

 farm suffering was tremendous. 

 This was no fault of those in 

 charge, it being only natural that 

 farm folks would receive attention 

 last because of the distance factor. 

 It was felt that it would be up to 

 farm people to come to the aid of 

 their neighbor farmers of Illinois. 

 Other advices from farm advisers 

 and others in touch with the situa- 

 tion showed the dire necessity of 

 grubstaking the unfortunate farm- 

 ers so they can get their crops in 

 the ground. 



Wliite County An Example 



Ed Creighton, farm adviser of 

 White County, a county in which 

 the tornado cut a mile wide swath 

 and was particularly destructive to 

 farm buildings and farm life, esti- 

 mated that the farm loss in that 

 county alone would be from three 

 quarters of a million to a million 

 dollars. It was conservatively esti- 

 mated that the entire farm loss in 

 Illinois would be well over }2,000,- 



000. Forty-nine farmers lost their 

 lives in White county, 25 or 30 of 

 whom were farm bureau members, 

 .Mr. Creighton reported. 100 sets 

 of farm buildings were demolished 

 and 100 people were injured. Eight 

 country school houses were demol- 

 ished in hie county. 



By the time this Recokd reaches 

 most of its readers practically every 

 county will have raised its quota 

 of f 2,004, it is expected. This quo- 

 ta was set with the thought in 

 mind that the 230,000 farmers of 

 Illinois would contribute an aver- 

 age of at least fl apiece. Contri- 

 butions may be made direct to the 



1. A. A. office and will be credited 

 to the respective counties. The 

 blank on the editorial page can be. 

 used. All will be acknowledged 

 over WLS. 



Following are the telegrams which 

 have been received up to the time the 

 RicotD went to press, from the Coun- 

 ty Farm Bureaus participatiner in the

 ty writes: 



"I saw Fred Deetz, president of the

 on them for anything. Mr. Thomas 

 said he could name every farmer who 

 was hit He believes that there will 

 be sufficient funds, provided we can 

 get proper distribution. But the 

 farmers cannot build at this time of 

 the year. 



"We believe that we will have to 

 stay with these men until Christmas 

 If we are* going to do this thing up 

 right. I think nearly all of them own 

 their own farms and part of the job 

 is to encourage them to stay and re- 

 build. They will probably do this It 

 they Jlo not have to mortgage. Mr. 

 Thomas thinks the Immediate need of 

 many is a temporary barn to be made 

 out of what is left."

HATS OFF TO PAST, COATS OFF FOR FUTURE, 

 IS SENTIMENT OF FRUIT MEN AT 1ST MILESTONE 



Illinois Fruit Grower*' Exchange Hold* First Annual Member*Iup 

 Meeting at CentraKa. Point to Hiring of Sales Manager and 

 Adoption of Trade-Name a* Big AchievemenU. 



The first annual membership 

 meeting of the Illinois Fruit Grow- 

 ers' Exchange is history. 



On March 14, 

 35 men, most of 

 them members of 

 the Exchange, 

 met in Centralia. 

 Satisfaction over 

 the accomplish- 

 ments of the past 

 year, optimism 

 concerning the 

 future of the or- 

 ganization, good 

 leadership, clear 

 thinking on t h e 



»,u^mS!!S^ pa" 0' the dele- 

 gates present, a 

 willingness to tackle common prob- 

 lems of marketing and financlQg, 

 and general good will marked the 

 entire session of the meeting. It 

 was business from start to finish. 



I. D. Snedeker, president of the 

 Exchange since the organization re- 

 incorporated under the present 

 name on February 29, 1924, opened 

 the guns on the Growers' fruit and 

 vegetable marketing problems. He 

 first expressed the appreciation of 

 the board of directors for the co- 

 operation accorded them by the 

 member associations. 



Made Important Step 



"During the past fiscal year," 

 said Mr. Snedeker, "we decided to 

 hire a sales manager whose purpose 

 it would be to get acquainted with 

 the members and also to boost the 

 products of Illinois. This will be 

 done in co-operation with the Fed- 

 erated Fruit and 'Vegetable Grow- 

 ers, Inc. J. O. Lawrence is the man 

 ve hired. We have also arranged 

 it so that our finances are handled 

 lirough our own association, and 

 we have the assurance from the Il- 

 linois Agricultural Association that 

 its transportation department will 

 give us their assistance in the hand- 

 ling of claims. 



"There has been much branching 

 out last year. Much work has been 

 done. The prospects for the com- 

 ing year are even brighter, and we 

 cannot question the growth of the 

 co-operative movement." 



A. B. Leeper, general manager of 

 the Exchange, in his report stated 

 it as his belief that the organization 

 stands aloBe among members of the 

 Federated in the matter of hiring 

 its own sales manager, at the same 

 time retaining full membership in 

 the national federation on a three- 

 year contract. 



In commenting on Manager Leep- 

 er's report, Mr. Snedeker, chairman 

 of the meeting, said: "I feel great 

 confidence that our Illinois prod- 

 ucts will have a more and more re- 

 liable home market and that for- 

 eign copipetitlon will grow less." 

 Adopt Constitution 



The entire constitution and by- 

 laws as framed by the Exchange at 

 the time of re-incorporatlon under 

 the new name and according to the 

 specifications of the Illinois Co-op- 

 erative Marketing Act a year ago, 

 was read in full. With a minor 

 amendment, it was adopted by un- 

 animous vote. 



Elect Board of Directors 



The first annual membership 

 meeting was attended by delegates 

 from 10 member fruit marketing 

 associations in southern Illinois 



IROQUOIS ENROLLS 

 STRONG IN I. A. C. A, 



To Iroquois county goes the hon- 

 or of having the largest number of 

 farmer co-operatives on the mem- 

 m Mg» bership list of the Illinois 

 I An Agricultural Co-operative: 

 ^~" Association, farmers' co-op- 

 erative auditing and business advis- 

 ory service. They are the Buckley, 

 Leonard, Crescent City, Watseka, 

 Goodwine, Claytonvllle, Woodland, 

 and Cissna Park elevator compa- 

 nies; the Cissna Park Lumber Com- 

 pany; and the Iroquois County 

 Farm Bureau. 



"This makes ten farmer co-oper- 

 atives for Iroquois county that are 

 members of the I. A. C. A.," says 

 R. F. Karr, executive committeeman 

 from the 18th district. "Who can 

 claim more?" 



One hundred forty-six is the num- 

 ber of farmer co-operatives now 

 holding membership in the I. A. 

 C. A. 



and five individual member-grow- 

 ers. The following were elected 



I the b'oard of directors for the 

 coming year: W. L. Cope, Tontl; 

 L. O. Day, Olney; Willis Seward, 

 Quincy; Frank Lanter, Belleville: 

 J. A. Gage, Texico; N. W. Casper, 



Jew Brunswick; L. N. Colp, Carter- 

 ville; H. O. Smith, Newton, and R. 

 B. Endicott, Villa Ridge. 



LanTence Outlines Plans 



J. O. Lawrence, who entered the 

 organization as sales manager on 

 March 1, 1925, outlined the gen- 

 eral plan of the work to be followed 

 by his department, stating that 

 quality of product would be 

 stressed in shipping all the produce 

 of the Exchange. The Exchange 

 trade-name, "Illini," was the sub- 

 ject of much favorable comment 

 and discussion. How to keep it 

 constantly before the public was 

 dwelt upon at length. 



Pass Resolutions 



Resolutions were adopted at the 

 meeting to memorialize the 54th 

 General Assembly to appropriate 

 sufficient funds to the Division of 

 Standardization and Markets, State 

 Department of Agriculture, as per 

 the requests of that Division for the 

 continuance and expansion of Its ac- 

 tivities. Another resolution was to 

 the effect that the gratitude of the 

 Illinois Fruit Growers' Exchange b« 

 extended to the University of Illi- 

 nois, the I. A. A., the various farm 

 bureaus, and to other organizations 

 for assistance and moral support 

 during the re-organization of the 

 Exchange. 



Re-elect Officers 



In the directors' meeting which 

 followed the membership conclave, 

 the old officers were re-elected: I. 

 O. Snedeker, Jersejrville, president; 

 W. L. Cope, Tontl, vice-president; 

 and W. L. Parks, Patoka, secretary- 

 treasurer. Members of the new ex- 

 ecutive committee included the 

 same members as before: R. B. En- 

 dicott, L. O. Day, J. A. Gage, and 

 the officers ex officio. A committee 

 was then appointed consisting of 

 the chairman and one member of 

 the board, N. W. Casper, to repre- 

 sent the Growers at Springfield in 

 the fight before the Legislature for 

 appropriations to carry on State in- 

 spection of fruits and vegetables. 

 W. L. Cope is executive committee- 

 man for the Illinois Agricultural 

 Association from the 23rd Cong Ms- 

 sional district.
