WRITE YOURSELF 1 CHECK 



Forget for the moment what the Farm Bureau has 

 done through organized aaion to raise farm prices. 

 Disregard the successful fight the County Farm Bureaus 

 and the Illinois Agricultural Association have waged to 

 reduce property taxes. Overlook, for the sake of argu- 

 ment, what this powerful organization has achieved in 

 building successful cooperative marketing institutions, 

 encouraging 4-H Club work, working for more profit- 

 able farm practices, getting more farm-to-market roads, 

 reducing interest rates, representing farmers before 



legislative and rate-making bodies, and in defeating 

 legislation opposed to farmers' interests. 



Just add up the direct money-saving benefits to 

 Farm Bureau members from cooperative insurance 

 services and centralized purchasing of farm supplies. 

 Compare the saving from these business services alone, 

 with the cost of membership. You'll find you can 

 write yourself a substantial check for the difference. 

 It Pays To Belong! ... I /
