 IaIktc I .1111 now livint:, in 1 S'JO. 

 which whetted my lon^ini; lor a real 

 farm ort;anization." writes Mr. l-jlis. 

 When the I'arin Hureau hove in 

 siolit. my zeal knew no hounds, for 

 I kit like the old maid, who had 

 loni; Ionised for a husband. >X'lien 

 asked about the weddini; march, 

 she replied that she wiiuld take care 

 of th.it herself. When the march 

 bec.in she started sinyint; the well 

 known lines. 'This is the way I loni; 

 have .soiiulit, and mourned because I 

 found it not.' " 



Like hundreds of others. lillis con- 

 tributed his time and automobile for 

 nearly five weeks to interest farmers 

 in joinini; and helpini; to builel an 

 elFcetive organization. Those were 

 days of service and s.icrifice for the 

 .ueiod of the l.iruer number. With- 

 out sue h sacrifice then and now the 

 1.1 rill Hureau movement would not 

 be what it is today the most

 ol American ayriculturt yet devel- 

 oped. 



A corn i rop 20 per cent be- 

 low normal would be worth about 

 the same as one JO per cent above 

 normal, but a normal crop would ix- 

 worth about S.Ss.OOO.ODO more than
