any tax relief as result of a Consti- 

 tutional Convention previous to 1940. 

 If, in your judgment, a Constitutional 

 Convention is needed for other pur- 

 poses than that of revenue reform, 

 the Association stands ready to sup- 

 port a program of that character; but 

 certainly not in lieu of the immediate 

 calling of a special session of the Gen- 

 eral Assembly for the consideration 

 of revenue amendment this year. 



: ;• ^ Could Correct Evils 



I am sure you recognize that if 

 called immediately, the General As- 

 sembly could submit an amendment to 

 the people at the general election in 

 November which, if approved, would 

 make possible the correction of a 

 large portion of our present taxing 

 evils during the session of the 59th 

 General Assembly scheduled to con- 

 vene next January. 



Before closing, may I again impress 

 upon you the very grave importance 

 of your careful consideration of the 

 recommendations of our Board of Di- 

 rectors and to again assure you of the 

 full support of the Illinois Agricul- 

 tural Association in securing the fa- 

 vorable approval by the General As- 

 sembly of the provisions of the 



amendment to the Revenue Article 

 of the Constitution recommended by 

 your Revenue Commission, and if sub- 

 mitted, to do everything possible to 

 secure its adoption at the hands of 

 the people next November. We are 

 also prepared to file with the presid- 

 ing officers of the respective bodies 

 of the General Assembly petitions 

 signed by more than 300,000 voters of 

 Illinois urging immediate action in 

 support of the provisions of the re- 

 port and recommendations of your 

 Revenue Commission.

Hoping we may have your favorable 

 consideration of this request, I beg 

 to remain ' ^ - : ;v^ 



Sincerely yours, W . 



Illinois Agricultural Association, 



(Signed) Earl C. Smith, Pros.

Get Creamery Site

• The Producers Creamery of Olney 

 recently bought the site of the old 

 Olney Hotel on which it will erect a 

 creamery. A campaign is under way 

 to raise capital to build a plant. A 

 fund of $30,000 cash is the goal, two- 

 thirds of which is raised. 



Farm Advisers Annual 

 Sunnmer Meeting, Urbana 



Consider Corn-Hog Allotment, 

 ':\'\ Drouth, and Chinch Bugs 



Agricultural planning, drouth, 

 chinch bugs and dairy production 

 problems occupied chief attention of 

 farm advisers in their annual sum- 

 mer conference at Urbana June 11- 

 12-13. :. 



President Earl C. Smith of the 



I. A. A. and Dean H. W. Mumford 

 spoke to the farm advisers in their 

 annual business meeting Monday 

 night. Discussion centered around 

 government corn-hog allotments for 

 Illinois. Mr. Smith made clear the 

 policy of the I. A. A. on this con- 

 troversial question, namely, that the 

 contracts be carefully reviewed by 

 county committees with the idea of 

 removing hogs reported on contracts 

 which were not properly supported 

 but to retain reported hog numbers 

 which are fully substantiated by rec- 

 ords. ■■:':'.■■r^: ,-.:.^.-. ;;.. ;v.y-.:. •.;•-:•:..•• -^ •:••■.: •■••
