HATS ahead 

 for agricul- 

 ture in the next 10 

 years or more, is now 

 the concern of all

 always have opposed constructive farm measures prevail? 

 |0f shall farmers through organization assure the con- 

 ^tinuance and perfection of those policies designed to re- 

 store farm prices and protect the interests of agriculture? 

 Times and policies change. What's true today may not 

 be true tomorrow. . ^^r - ; it
