THE I. A. A. RECORD 



May, 1932 



Nominafions In Order 



A. F. B. F. Service Award 



Nominations are now in order for 

 candidates for the American Farm Bu- 

 reau Federation's 1932 Award "For 

 Distinguished Service to Organized 

 Agriculture," according to an an- 

 nouncement from the Federation. 



The award is given in recognition of 

 service which called for personal effort 

 and sacrifice far beyond the ordinary 

 demands of duty. It is agriculture's 

 highest recognition of individual devo- 

 tion to the advancement and well be- 

 ing of agriculture through organized 

 effort. 



The winner is determined by a com- 

 mittee of three who examine the records 

 of candidates submitted by their back- 

 ers. Announcement of the winner is 

 always a highlight of the great annud 

 national assembly of the Farm Bureau 

 Federation which will be held this year 

 in Chicago on December 5 to 7. 



In the past four years nine persons, 

 including one farm woman, have re- 

 ceived the honor, which is symbolized 

 by a gold medal and a diploma. Nom- 

 inations are welcomed from Farm Bu- 

 reau workers and those in affiliated ag- 

 ricultural organizations, from the ex- 

 tension service, from farm paper editors, 

 and all others interested in the welfare 

 of agriculture. The closing date for 

 entries is October 15, 1932, at mid- 

 night. Nominations should be sub- 

 mitted to M. S. Winder, Secretady, 

 American Farm Bureau Federation, 5 8 

 East Washington St., Chicago, 111.

trade, any duly authorized representa- 

 tive of any lawfully formed and con- 

 ducted co-operative association of pro- 

 ducers having adequate financial re- 

 sponsibility which is engaged in cash 

 grain business, if such association has 

 complied, and agrees to comply with 

 such terms and conditions as are or may 

 be imposed lawfully on other members 

 of such board: 



"Provided, that no rule of a contract 

 market shall forbid or be construed to 

 forbid the return on a patronage basis 

 by such co-operative association to its 

 bona fide members of moneys collected 

 in excess of the expense of conducting 

 the business of such association." 



This paragraph has been upheld in a 

 previous adjudication by the Supreme 

 Court of the United States. The sole 

 penalty provided for violation of the 

 terms of the act is suspension of the 

 designation of the offending board of 

 trade as a contract market for a pe- 

 riod not to exceed six months, or revo- 

 cation of such designation. — United 

 States Daily, April 16, 1932. 



Tomato Juice Popular 



Americans who have become tomato- 

 juice conscious in the last two or three 

 years should bear in mind certain simple 

 facts when purchasing this popular bev- 

 erage, says J. W. Sale, of the Federal 

 Food and Drug Administration. The 

 production of tomato juice and a num- 

 ber of so-called "cocktails" made from 

 it has increased amazingly in the last 

 year or two and now there are a score 

 of firms offering these products for sale. 



Playing upon the fact that the Amer- 

 ican consumer is greatly concerned 

 about his vitamins, a few manufacturers 

 have made absurd claims concerning the 

 vitamin content of their tomato-juice 

 product, says Mr. Sale. Statements such 

 as "rich in vitamins" or "contains all 

 the vitamins" are considered by Federal 

 food officials as misleading and there- 

 fore illegal under the law. 



Neither tomato juice nor tomato- 

 juice cocktails contains all the vitamins. 

 When making vitamin claims, the man- 

 ufacturer, if he is to operate legally, 

 must restrict his claims to those particu- 

 lar vitamins which are actually present 

 in significant amounts. Fresh, ripe to- 

 matoes contain vitamins A, B and C, 

 but the extent to which these vitamins 

 are present in the juice depends upon 

 the methods used in its preparation. 



Quality Milk Assn. 



Donates Milk to Poor 



A CONTRAST 



Fifty years ago women wore hoop skirts, 

 bustles, petticoats, corsets, cotton stockin-'s, 

 high-buttoned shoes, frilled cotton underwear; 

 tbey did the cleaning, washing, ironing, raised 

 big families, went to church on Sunday and 

 were too busy to be sick. 



Men wore whiskers, square hats, Ascot tics, 

 red flannel underwear, big watches and chains, 

 chopped wood for the stove, bathed once a week, 

 drank 10-cent whiskey and 5 -cent beer, rode 

 bicycles, buggies and sleighs, went in for poli-. 

 tics, worked twelve hours a day and lived to 

 a ripe old age. 



Stores burned coal oil lamps, carried every- 

 thing from a needle to a plow, trusted every- 

 body, never took an inventory, placed orders 

 for goods a year in advance and always made 

 money. 



In 1932 



Women wear silk "or no" stockings, short 

 skirts, no corsets, an ounce of underwear, have 

 bobbed hair, smoke, paint and powder, drink 

 cocktails, play bridge, drive cars, have pet 

 dogs and go in for politics. 



Men have high blood pressure, wear no hats 

 and little hair, shave their whiskers, play golf, 

 bathe twice a day, drink poison, play the stock 

 market, ride in airplanes, never go to bed the 

 same day they get up, are misunderstood at 

 home, work five hours a day, play ten and die 

 young. 



Stores have electric lights, cash registers and 

 elevators, but never have what the customer 

 wants, trust nobody, take inventory daily, never 

 buy in advance, have overhead, mark up, mark 

 down, quota, budget, advertising, stock control, 

 annual and semi-annual, end of month, reports 

 and audits, dollar day, Founder's Day, rummage 

 day and economy day sales, and never make any 

 money. — Anonymous. 



Undernourished Babieis to Get 40,- 

 000 Quarts of MUk 



THE Quality Milk Association, Farm 

 Bureau organized milk marketing 

 co-operative whose 800 members pro- 

 duce 8 5 per cent of the milk sold at 

 Rock Island, Davenport, Moline and 

 East Moline, recently donated 40,000 

 quarts of milk for undernourished ba- 

 bies. This is said to be the largest gift 

 ever received by charity organizations 

 in the quad-cities. 



The resolution donating the milk fol- 

 lows: 



"Whereas, the board of directors of 

 the Quality Milk Association has 

 learned that a number of babies and 

 children of pre-school age in the quad- 

 city area are undernourished because 

 such organizations as the Daily Times 

 and Davenport Visiting Nurse Associa- 

 tion do not have sufficient funds to 

 carry on this work, 



"And whereas, there is an enormous 

 surplus of milk being produced by the 

 members of the Quality Milk Associa- 

 tion who furnish the milk supply to 

 the quad-cities, 



"And whereas, the Quality Milk As- 

 sociation feels that no child should be 

 deprived of nature's most perfect food 

 because of present economic conditions. 

 Therefore be it 



"Resolved, by the board of directors 

 of the Quality Milk Association that 

 40,000 quarts of milk be donated to 

 these organiaztions in May and June to 

 be distributed in any way they desire 

 to the babies and children in the quad- 

 cities. Be it further 



"Resolved, that each member of the 

 Quality Milk Association be asked to 

 contribute out of his surplus one quart 

 out of every 100 pounds of milk pro- 

 duced and sold in quad-cities." 



A page- wide streamer and story an- 

 nounced the gift in * a recent issue of 

 the Daily Times, Davenport, Iowa. 

 Dealers agreed to deliver the milk free.
