 A. executive commit- 

 teeman on Saturday,

 A crowd estimated 

 at 125 representing

 leadership from Win-

 Kalb, LaSalle, 

 Grundy, and Kendall 

 Counties had gathered 

 when the afternoon 

 program was opened 

 following the lunch- 

 eon in the lower din- 

 ing-room of the Au- 

 rora Hotel. 



Congressman John 

 T. Buckbee, Rockford, 

 who was first intro- 

 duced by Mr. Tullock pledged his un- 

 wavering support to the McNary- 

 Haugen bill with 

 the equalization 

 fee principle. The 

 congressman was 

 given a hearty re- 

 ception. He had

Smith Get! Ovation 

 President Earl C. Smith received a 

 great ovation when he was introduced 

 following Mr. Buckbee. Before delving 

 into the agricultural situation and the 

 I. A. A. legislative program, he told 

 about the first I. A. A. district confer- 

 ence held in his own, the 20th district, 

 which he called to get certain facts

Illinois Farm Bureaus 



Contract For 1928 Senim 



BIDS for the 1928 supply of anti-hog 

 cholera serum and virus were re- 

 ceived by directors of the Illinois Farm 

 Bureau Serum Association at a recent 

 meeting with serum company repre- 

 sentatives in Chicago. 



Quotations for the most part were 

 considerably lower than last year be- 

 cause of the low price of hogfs. Clear 

 concentrated serum in some instances 

 was quoted at a price little higher than 

 prices paid the previous year for blood 

 serum. 



While no definite contracts were 

 closed at this meeting, the bids of the 

 various companies which included all 

 the larger ones in the Middle West, 

 were submitted to the 60 counties hold- 

 ing membership in the Association. 



The discussion indicated that more 



clear concentrated serum will be used 



in 1928 than ever before. In view of 



the fact that the dosage for clear serum

Senator Deneen and All Downstate Con-

 Bill in 69th Congress 

 HE voting records of downstate

 Illinois farmers in the 

 55th General Assem- 

 bly, and in the Spe- 

 cial Session held early 

 this year are pre- 

 sented on pages four 

 and five by the Pub- 

 lic Relations Commit- 

 tee. 



This action is in 

 accordance with the 

 recent announcement 

 that voting records 

 on agricultural leg^is- 

 lation would be pub- 

 lished prior to the 

 April primaries. The 

 vote on the four is- 

 sues, namely, the gas 

 tax, income tax, grain exchange bill, 

 and the increased bonding bills, which 

 came up in the last regular legislative 

 session, is largely a reprint of the 

 table presented in the Special Legis- 

 lative issue of The Record last Aug. 

 ust, with a few minor adjustments. 

 They Tell The Story 

 In addition, the vote on the bond- 

 limiting measure applicable to taxing 

 districts in Illinois outside Cook County 

 is presented. All the records here con- 

 sidered are of primary interest to 

 farmers. They furnish an index to 

 the manner in which each member of 

 the legislature is representing his agri- 

 cultural constituents. They are pre- 

 sented with the hope that members will 

 vote the ticket straight for agriculture 

 and place that interest above party.
