IF Illinois farmers have learned 

 anything during the past 15 years 

 of organized efiEort it is that co-op- 

 erative production must go hand in 

 hand with co-operative marketing, or- 

 ganized buying, and co-operative credit 

 in putting agriculture on a sotind fi- 

 nancial basis. 



This year's American Institute of Co- 

 operation which opens at the Univer- 

 sity of Illinois, Urbana, Monday, June 

 15, wiU reflect the importance of de- 

 veloping co-operation from all angles 

 in achieving farm prosperity. 



The soil conservation program will 

 have a prominent part in the con- 

 fer^ce along with credit, marketing, 

 and purchasing. And then for good 

 measure Chester C. Davis, AAA Ad- 

 ministrator, J. B. Eastman, transporta- 

 tion co-ordinator of the Interstate 

 Commerce Commission, Dr. L. R. Ed- 

 f minster of the State Department, 

 '\ Washington, D. C, and others will 

 handle such questions as foreign trade, 

 transportation of farm products, and 

 the government's foreign trade policy. 

 The conference will bring together 

 practical marketing men engaged in the 

 daily business of selling farm products. 

 Farm organization and co-operative 

 leaders representing all sections of the 

 country and the different farm com- 

 modities will appear on the program. 

 Acting Administrator H. R. ToUey will 

 lead the discussion on soil conservation. 



General Talks .\. M. 



Talks of general interest will be 

 heard each morning. In the afternoon, 

 sectional conferences will divide up by 

 commodities and subjects to allow for 

 informal questions, answers, and gen- 

 eral discussion. 



The Illinois Agricultural Association 

 and several associated companies will 

 be represented by officers and mem- 

 bers of the staff who have been as- 

 signed to speak and lead the discussion. 



The University is hopefully expect- 

 ing attendance of at least 3,000 people. 

 It has issued invitations through the 

 state agricultural colleges and co-oper- 

 atives all over the United States. Illi- 

 nois which has upwards of 400 farm 

 co-operative associations and organiza- 

 tions alone will undoubtedly contribute 

 from half to three-fourths or more of 

 the audience. 



Many college students and graduates 

 hopeful of finding openings in the co- 

 operative movement annually attend 

 the Institute. Admission is free to all 

 comers. There are no registration fees 

 of any kind and the sessions are open 

 to the public. 



The program as corrected up to time 

 of going to press is as follows:
