Western Illinois City * 



'^ ; Mecca For Yearly Trek .. 



Proximity To Iowa To "Dtaw Many 

 Visitors From Hawkeye State 



FOR the first time in history the an- 

 nual meeting of the Illinois Agri- 

 cultural Association which is recog- 

 nized as the most representative yearly 

 gathering of Illinois farmers will be 

 held in extreme' Western Illinois on 

 the Mississippi River, where the west 

 begins and the tall com is alleged ta 

 grow. 



It will be the thirteenth annual as- 

 sembly of the organization which had 

 its birth back in 1916 when a small 

 group of Farm Bureau representatives 

 met in the Old Agricultural Bafldi^ig 

 at the University of Illinois and dis- 

 cussed the possibilities of federating 

 the small group of county organiza- 

 tions then in existence. Many of the 

 county units in those days were known 

 as soil improvement associations and as 

 theft- name implied devoted all their 

 activities to the field of production. 



> Needed Strong Orraniuttion 



The development of the Farm Biv- 

 eau \*'ith its subsequent evolution into 

 the field of business and marketing is 

 well known. The L A. A. grew out of a 

 long recognized need for a strong, rep- 

 resentative organization that would 

 represent farmers in all their inter- 

 ests including production, economic, 

 social, business, and political interests. 



The program this year will adhere 

 closely to the general policy of the 

 organization to give every member the 

 utmost opportunity to be heard in pub- 

 lic "meeting. Thursday afternoon, Jan- 

 uary 19, will be devoted entirely to 

 four group conferences, to be held 

 simultaneously. , Each member will 

 have his choice of attending any One 

 of the four.'" I : 1 



The sections Will be divided as fol- 

 lows; Organization and Information, 

 Business Service, Public Relations, 

 and Marketing. The places for hold- 

 ing these conferences will be announc- . 

 ed in due time, f j 

 ' The general assembly of all dele- 

 gates and visitors will be held in the 

 Ft. Armstrong Theatre but the lesser 

 meetings will take place elsewhere, 

 as designated in the tentative program 

 presented in this issue. 



A surprise will await the delegates 

 and visitors at the annual luncheon 

 on Friday when prominent representa-
