Illinois fanners have an investment in lands, 



livestock, and buildings ol approxiniately three and three- 

 quarter billions of dollars. Agriculture is BIG BUSINESS 

 .... a business primarily devoted to the production of 

 new wealth .... a business on which the public de- 

 pends for its food supply .... a business which annually 

 controls the destiny of other business .... one on which 

 national prosperity rises or falls. 



So when 

 thinking farmers 

 show concern for 

 the future of this 

 business they do 

 so conscious of the grave responsibiUty that rests upon 

 them. When farm prices pay a fair return on the huge 

 investment, the prosperity of agriculture is shared by 

 everyone. 



No thinking fanner will treat lightly his op- 

 portunity and responsibility to help maintain farm prices 

 and farm buying power.
