County Managers Meet at Chi- 

 cago and Springfield to 

 Launch Sales Program 



ILLINOIS FARM SUPPLY COM- 

 PANY, and the 53 cooperative 

 county service companies affiliated 

 with it in supplying petroleum prod- 

 ucts and kindred farm supplies to 

 more than 75,000 Illinois farmers, on 

 August 15 introduced a new gasoline. 

 Magic Aladdin, to its customers. In- 

 dications are that the new motor fuel 

 will enjoy widespread popularity. Of- 

 ficers of Illinois Farm Supply Com- 

 pany confidently predict that all gaso- 

 line sales records will be broken as 

 soon as the company's customers have 

 had an opportunity to try out the new 

 fuel. 



L. R. Marchant, manager of the Illi- 

 nois Farm Supply Company, says re- 

 garding the new product: 



* "Constant improvements have been 

 made in our Aladdin gasoline ever 

 since Illinois Farm Supply Company 

 was organized, but the greatest im- 

 provement has taken place within re- 

 cent weeks. The most modern methods 

 of blending and refining have produced 

 an outstanding motor fuel — Magic 

 Aladdin — a high-compression, anti-^ 

 knock gasoline that is clean-burning 

 and free from sulphur, gum and the 

 gum-forming ingredients that multiply 

 motor ills. 



"Most ordinary gasolines burn with 

 extreme rapidity under the temper- 

 ature and pressure of modem, high- 

 compression engines. The sudden ex- 

 pansion of gas causes a distortion of 

 piston heads and cylinder walls, pro- 

 ducing the familiar 'knock,' which 

 greatly reduces engine power and 

 eventually results in mechanical in- 

 jury to the motor. In Magic Aladdin, 

 our customers have a real knockless 

 gasoline that has the additional ad- 

 vantages of instant pick-up, split sec- 

 ond get-away, and greater power and 

 mileage. The new Magic Aladdin is to 

 be sold to our customers at no in- 

 crease in price; that is, they have the 

 opportunity of obtaining this new 

 power-plus fuel at exactly the same 

 price they have been paying for Alad- 

 din regular." 



Magic Aladdin was "launched" at 

 meetings of service company managers 

 and directors held at Chicago on 

 August 11 and at Springfield on 

 August 14. Practically every company 

 in the state was represented at these 

 meetings which were presided over by 

 F. E. Herndon of McDonough county, 

 president of Illinois Farm Supply 

 Company.

LaSalle County Grain 



Growers Meet Mendota 



Hear President Huff of Farmers 

 National, Secy. Geo. E. Metz- 

 ger and C. P. Cummings 



THE Farmers National Grain 

 Corporation's job is not merely 

 merchandising a car of grain on 

 any market to which it may happen to 

 be shipped but to so organize its 

 efforts that this grain may be moved 

 as directly as possible from the point 

 of surplus to the areas of need and 

 that this be done as cheaply as pos- 

 sible, C. E. Huff, president of the 

 Farmers National Grain Corporation, 

 told more than 400 farmers and their 

 wives at a meeting in the Mendota 

 high school July 17. 



"We are building a marketing or- 

 ganization," said Mr. Huff, "to help the 

 farmer secure a price for what he has 

 to sell on a parity with the price of 

 commodities he has to buy. The 

 Farmers National will handle 15 to 20 

 per cent of all the wheat marketed in 

 the United States this year." 



Mr. Huff explained that of the $15,- 

 000,000 borrowed from the Farm 

 Board approximately $5,500,000 had 

 been loaned on good security to coun- 

 try elevators, and approximately the 

 same amount hae been used to buy 

 terminal facilities which have proved 

 very profitable; and a little more than 

 $4,000,000 is in a liquid position for 

 use in transacting business. This loan, 

 he says, benefits more than 300,000 

 farmers and is less than one-fifth as 

 much as a single bank in Illinois se- 

 cured from the government. 



Secretary George E. Metzger of the 

 I, A. A. reviewed the program of the 

 I. A. A. in the recent General As- 

 sembly. 



"The value of representation by or- 

 ganized farmers at Springfield in the 

 last session was not determined so 

 much by the bills that were passed as 

 by the bad bills the I. A. A. helped to 

 kill," said Metzger. He predicted that 

 organized agriculture will have a bat- 

 tle on its hands next winter in pre- 

 venting Cook county from driving 

 through new legislation taxing down- 

 state people for the relief of unem- 

 ployed in the metropolitan area. 



C. P. Cummings, general manager 

 of Illinois Grain Corporation, asserted 

 that the Illinois regional handled more 

 than 15,000,000 bushels of grain last 

 year which undoubtedly was the rea- 

 son so much opposition was shown to 

 the co-operative marketing program 

 in Illinois which returns the profits in 

 handling grain to the producer. 



E. E. Stevenson, president of the 

 LaSalle County Farm Bureau, pre-
