"Agriculture needs a definite program 

 of regulation," he said. "I am very much 

 in favor of the soil conservation program, 

 but I don't believe it is the entire answer 

 to our problem. 



"If a crop storage program could be 

 worked out, farming would not hold its 

 present risks. Today a farmer has to 

 take a lot of gambles in operating a farm. 

 Under a crop storage program, he would 

 know that in poor years his feed prices 

 would not skyrocket. On the other hand, 

 he would also know that the bottom 

 wouldn't drop out of the market in 

 normal years forcing him to sell at a 

 sacrifice. 



'An organization is a necessity to 

 farmers these days." Dauberman said. 

 "Legislative problems concerning agri- 

 culture must be dealt with by men who 

 understand both the laws and the farm- 

 er's point of view. It's up to the farmers 

 to hire these men to represent them. 

 The legislative work of the Farm Bu- 

 reau, to me at least, is the most impor- 

 tant thing it does. The Illinois Agri- 

 cultural Association RECORD is tine. 

 It brings us valuable information we 

 couldn't otherwise get." 



In addition to feeding cattle, Dauber- 

 man raises sheep and hogs. "I shipped 

 to the Producers when it was first 

 Started," he rel.ited. "With the 78 

 Hamps' I sent yesterday, I included 30 

 head of Whitefaces that were ready." 



One day each year, Kane county puts 

 on a beef cattle tour. This practice is 

 also followed in other counties. Cattle- 

 man in the county meet at a central point, 

 usually the Farm Bureau office, and travel

Only Service Company products are

day. Don't push the clock back on mel " 



Mr. Daubermans success as a livestcKk 

 feeder is easily understood. He likes it. 



"I like raising livestock for a living," 

 he said. "Raising grain with the idea 

 of selling it on the market doesn't ap- 

 peal to me. I am a firm believer that 

 all grain, at least all that can be used, 

 should remain on the farm. This year 

 I am even going to have to buy a little 

 feed for my cattle. " 



This cattle feeder is an ardent booster 

 of Hampshire hogs. "They arc a little 

 harder to fatten," he admitted, "but they 

 are hardier and less trouble. I vaccinate 

 my own hogs with Farm Bureau scrum 

 just before weaning time. It's cheaper, 

 and not as much of a job. " 



The Dauberman home is ecjuipped 

 with all of the most modern conven 

 iences. There is a hot water furnace, an 

 electric stove, a refrigerator, running hot 

 and cold water, a bathroom and radio. 

 The rooms are large and light and there 

 is pleasant homey feeling about the whole 

 house. 



In the summer, Mrs. Dauberman raises 

 flowers all over the front lawn. She en- 

 joys working with plants so much that 

 she has set aside an upstairs' room in 

 which she grows flowers in the winter as 

 well. 



Women, to avoid nutritional anemia, 

 should eat a diet rich in iron, say nu- 

 tritional experts. Liver, heart, lean 

 meat, eggs, leafy vegetables, beans and 

 mola.sses are the best sources of iron. 



A touch of pineapple juice adds a 

 distinctive flavor to apple pie.
