 better price than they ever have had 

 before, and delivering milk at perhaps 

 the lowest price (10 cents a quart) 

 charged on any market of equal size. 



Auto Insurance Co. 



Breaks All Records 



J^ President Smith Declares Hawley Bill Many Applications Ahead of April by 

 Gives Cause for Grave Concern Substantial Majority 



ti'X'HE present ills of agriculture 

 A have been brought about by the 

 disparity in the prices received for 

 agricultural commodities and the 

 costs of the many things farmers must 

 buy," declared President Earl C. 

 Smith in a recent letter to Illinois 

 congressmen in which he enclosed 

 copies of an analysis of the Hawley 

 tariff bill recently prepared by the 

 Department of Taxation and Statistics 

 of the Association. "Agricultural sta- 

 bility can only be brought about by 

 a proper relation of these two fac- 

 tors," he continued. j 



Increases Costs 



"A study of the Hawley bill gives 

 cause for grave concern to those whose 

 interest is in agriculture, in that 

 many upward revisions of the tariff 

 are recommended on commodities 

 that farmers must purchase, and 

 which if adopted by congress will 

 greatly increase costs of production 

 on the farm. If agriculture is to re- 

 ceive any net benefits through tariff 

 revision, it must be obvious that such 

 revision upward as is made on agrri- 

 cultural commodities must not be off- 

 set by changes in those commodities 

 that largely determine the costs of 

 production." 



Study Is Detailed 



The tariff study covers in detail the 

 most important agricultural products 

 of Illinois and includes corn, black- 

 strap molasses, wheat, bran, shorts 

 and milling by-products, lard and lard 

 substitutes, live stock, butter, fats and 

 oils, and fruits.

 ment of Taxation and Statistics, Illi-

McLean Co. Farmers 



Meet in Pipe Line Case 



PARMERS in Piatt county have been 

 *■ offered damages of $2.50 per rod 

 by the Texas-Empire Pipe Line Co., 

 an Illinois corporation now engaged in 

 laying a line through central and 

 southwestern Illinois. It is understood 

 that $2 per rod was offered as advance 

 damages and 50 cents a rod for a per- 

 petual easement to the land traversed. 



Farm Bureau members in McLean 

 county recently appointed a committee 

 to represent them in conferring with 

 company officials regarding a proper 

 settlement for building the line 

 through that territory. 



L. J. Quasey, transportation director 

 for the Illinois Agricultural Associa- 

 tion, attended a meeting in Blooming- 

 ton Tuesday, June 4, when plans for 

 securing a settlement of the issues in- 

 volved were adopted. 



Ask the Farm Bureau First 



THE name "Farm Bureau" is 

 being used by people who 

 have no right to use it, for their 

 own selfish motives. Be on your 

 guard against these impostors. 



"Country Life" is the only 

 Farm Bureau owned and con- 

 trolled life insurance company in 

 the United States. The "Illinois 

 Agricultural Mutual" is the only 

 state-wide Farm Bureau owned 

 and controlled auto insurance 

 company in Illinois. There are 

 several privately owned life and 

 auto insurance companies parad- 

 ing in Illinois under the Farm 

 Bureau name attempting to "cash 

 in" on its influence and standing. 

 When in doubt call your County 

 Farm Bureau office and get the 

 facts. ■ :■ .-- 



'X'HE Illinois Agricultural Mutual In- 

 -*- surance Co., the state-wide Farm 

 Bureau auto insurance service set up 

 by the I. A. A. two years ago had the 

 largest month in point of business 

 during May since it was organized. 

 Exactly 873 applications for auto in- 

 surance were received during the 

 month. The company now has more 

 than 14,000 policyholders. 



DuPage county leads all others with 

 over 600 policyholders. Winnebago is 

 next, and LaSalle third. Henry, Cook, 

 Morgan, Champaign, Bureau, and Will 

 all have more than 300. 



During April, the previous high 

 month, 817 applications were received 

 at insurance headquarters in Chicago. 

 Total applications for the two months 

 aggregated 1,690. 



The following solicitors and Farm 

 Bureaus wrote five or more applica- 

 tions during the month of April and 

 were presented with a silver watch fob 

 bearing the emblem of the Company:
