/a/nous For Qua/iii^ 



• If you're asking "Can I save money on tires and still be sure of mod- 

 em protection against blow-outs, carcass breakdowns and early tread 

 failure?" the answer is "YES." And if you ask "What tire?" the answer 

 is "Brunswick Super Service." Brunswick tires have always been "fa- 

 mous for Quality" — but the Brunswick Super Service Tires you buy 

 today have four special features of protection — and each one adds to 

 the useful mileage you get for your money. 



• Ask the salesman who drives the Blue and White tank truck how you 

 can save tire dollars with safety. Brunswick Tires are distributed by 64 

 county service companies affiliated with

Wool Market in 



Seasonal Decline 



Wool prices in the country have de- 

 clined from 15% to 20% in recent 

 weeks. This is a typical seasonal move- 

 ment. A chart based on 35 years' 

 records shows that prices go steadily 

 upward from May to December. 



This year as in the past, buyers and 

 dealers got out early and bought and 

 contracted some wool at rather high 

 prices. By staying out of the market 

 now or by buying large quantities at 

 substantially lower prices, dealers aver- 

 age down the cost of their total buy. 

 For years, the farmers have been the 

 losers in this kind of a system. 



Prices during the next few months 

 are largely in the hands of the wool 

 growers. By dumping their wool at 

 present prices they can force the market 

 even lower. By marketing their wool 

 cooperatively and thus keeping it off 

 the market, they can support the mar- 

 ket. A few cars of cheap wool on the 

 Boston market from the corn belt costs 

 wool growers all over the country from 

 3c to 5c per pound. 



The Illinois Livestock Marketing As- 

 sociation, cooperating with Illinois 

 County Farm Bureaus and with the Na- 

 tional Wool Marketing Corporation, 

 offers wool growers an opportunity to 

 support the market. Every wool grow- 

 er should get in touch with his local 

 Farm Bureau or county wool market- 

 ing manager and make arrangements to 

 market his wool cooperatively. 



Soybeans or cow peas, plowed under 



as green manure, will fill the require- 

 ments of the Soil Conservation pro- 

 gram for soil-conserving crops. 



Uncle Ab says if farmers got stung 



only by their bees they would be a lot 

 happier. 



Farm real estate values stood at 85 



per cent of the 1912 to '14 price level 

 on March 1 of this year, the Bureau of 

 Agricultural Economics reports. 



E. £. Houghtby will represent the

Where seedings of legumes were 



killed out and it is desirable to keep 

 the land in a soil conserving crop in 

 order to fill the soil-conserving base, 

 the fields may be disced and re-seeded 

 to sweet clover, alfalfa, red clover and 

 other legumes commonly raised in the 

 county, J. J. Pieper crops chief at Ur- 

 bana points out.
