 for 12 per cent 

 less hogs. That's 

 what meat packers 

 operating federally 

 inspected plants paid 

 during the first eight 



months of 1934 compared with payments the first eight months 

 of 1933. 



Who got the money? Farmers got it. 



How did it happen? Organized farmers made it happen. 



Farm income this year is estimated at 20 per cent higher 

 than last year, 40 per cent in excess of 1932. 



These gains are the result of farmers working together . . . 

 made possible by effective legislation. 



THE rise in farm prices began with initiation of crop 

 control and dollar devaluation sponsored by the Farm 

 Bureau. Three million farmers orgahii:ed into county pro- 

 duction control associations joined hands in the drive to 

 restore farm buying power. Never before has co-operation 

 been practiced on so wide a scale.

WHATS ahead 

 for agricul- 

 ture in the next 10 



years or more, is now 

 the concern of all 

 thinking farmers. 

 Shall the forces which 

 always have opposed constructive farm measures prevail? 

 Or 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. 



THE powerful voice of organized thousands must be ready 

 for action when action is needed. The Farm Bureau is 

 the rallying point for continuing agricultural policies of gov- 

 ernment toward helpful ends. 



Illinois farmers can work most effectively through member- 

 ship in the Farm Bureau and Illinois Agricultural Association. 

 Is your neighbor enlisted in the fight for farm equality? If 

 not, urge him to join.
