THE PROGRAM 



This Plant Food Program for Illinois has been a long time in formation. 

 It has been evolved democratically after much discussion and debate. 

 It now rests upon a sound foundation, with full recognition of the 

 teachings of the University, tlie Extension Service, tl>e Farm Bureau, 

 and our former-owned cooperative distribution system. 



A SOUND FOUNDATION 



This Plant Food Program rests upon o sound foundation because it 

 has Form Bureau approval, which means that ttie appointment of an 

 authdVized distributor of Blue Seal Plant Foods and materials will 

 be made by your local Farm Bureau Board after careful consideration 

 of the following qualifications: 



A Distributor must be a Form Bureau type cooperative. 

 B It should be engaged in another successful line of business. 

 C It should have adequate warehousing. 

 D It should hove adequate capital. 



E It should hove sufficient personnel to render a county-wide 

 service in this seasonal type of business ond 



F To return tfie savings brought about by volume and efficiency 

 to those w>>o made lliose savings possible — to Farm Bureau 

 member patrons. 



FARMER CONTROL OVER 

 MANUFACTURE AND DISTRIBUTION 



Blue Seal Plant Food materials and Grow Crop Fertilizers will be 

 manufactured by "Cooperative Plant Foods, Inc" jointly owned by 

 four state groups of farmers — Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and 

 Illinois. A quality control committee has been set up by the Illinois 

 Agricultural Association to moke sure that farmers in Illinois receive 

 the best available in plant food materials and mixed grades. 



G. L. Mnssfeldt, Farm 



Supply Accountant, Dies 



Gustave L. Mussfeldt, known to many 

 Farm Bureau members throughout the 

 state through his work with the Illinois 

 Agricultural Auditing Association and 

 Illinois Farm Supply Company, died 

 Sept. 11. He had been home for a few 

 weeks prior to his death recuperating 

 from the effects of a "tired heart." 



At the time of his death, Mr. Muss- 

 feldt was employed as chief accountant in 

 the Chicago office of the Illinois Farm 

 Supply Company. Before coming to 

 Farm Supply two years ago he had been 

 with the Auditing association and had 

 traveled extensively over the state in con- 

 nection with his work. 



Mr. Mussfeldt also will be remem- 

 bered by Farm Bureau members as a 

 member of the Farm Supply quartet 

 which sang at IFS annual meetings and 

 other gatherings. 



The funeral was held Sept. 14 at 

 Christ Methodist Church and burial was 

 at Evergreen cemetery, Chicago. Staff 

 members and associates served as hon- 

 orary pallbearers. 



Pasture, well managed, and productive, is 

 a |?ood erosion control cover and furnishes 

 a /;ood supply of low cost feed.
