AUGUST is the popular picnic 

 -^^- month among Illinois farm- 

 ers. Every section of Illinois and 

 nearly every county will either 

 take part in sponsoring a district 

 Farm Bureau picnic or will hold 

 a picnic of its own during this 

 month or early September. 



With the final selection of September 14 for 

 the joint I. A. A. Farm Bureau picnic in the 

 13th congressional district and September 12 

 for the 18th district gathering at Kankakee, 

 the schedule apparently is completed for the 

 rest of the season. While the Kankakee County 

 Farm Bureau will dedicate its new park at a 

 county gathering on August 28, farmers from 

 over the district will gather at the same place 

 two weeks later. 



Speakers at the district gatherings will be 

 aided in getting their messages across through 

 the use of a public address system provided by 

 the I. A. A.

More than a thousand gathered in Riede's
