PROUD of their remarkable record of 

 accomplishment and major contribu- 

 tion to the war's victorious conclusion, 

 Illinois Farm Bureau members will gather 

 Nov. 26-29 at the Hotel Sherman in Chi- 

 cago for the 31st annual meeting of the 

 Illinois Agricultural Association and asso- 

 ciated comp>anies. 



Principal speakers- will be two of the 

 most prominent and effective members 

 of Congress, Congressmen Clarence Can- 

 non of Missouri and Everett M. Dirksen 

 of Illinois. 



Assembling for their first peace-time 

 meeting in four years, Farm Bureau mem- 

 bers are fully aware that a host of prob- 

 lems confronts agriculture; some en- 

 gendered by the world-wide conflict, 

 others aggravated by post-war adjust- 

 ments, and all demanding immediate at- 

 tention. 



Consideration of these serious situa- 

 tions facing the farmer in the post-war 

 era will take the spotlight at the 31st 

 annual lAA meeting. 



President Earl C. Smith will make his 

 address at the Wednesday morning ses- 

 sion, Nov. 28. Reports of officers will 

 be presented during the same session. 



As in past years, the associated com- 

 panies will hold their annual meetings 

 during the first two days of the conven- 

 tion, Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 26 and 

 27. A general program of entertainment 

 has been planned for Tuesday night start- 

 ing at 7:30. 



The lAA is indeed fortunate in being 

 able to secure two such prominent legis- 

 lators as Congressman Cannon and Dirk- 

 sen to address the general session on 

 Wednesday night. It is not easy for these 

 men to find time from their busy sched- 

 ules to fulfill speaking engagements. Be- 

 cause of their high ranking positions in 

 the national scene, the addresses of these 

 men will be of great interest to Farm Bu- 

 reau members. Rep.. Cannon is chairman 

 of the powerful House committee on ap- 

 propriations, a committee which at this 

 time is concerned with the grave matter of

the nation's fiscal policy. Previous to his 

 advancement to this important post he 

 served for many years as chairman of the 

 subcommittee on agricultural appropria- 

 tions. Topics of the message that Rep. 

 Cannon will bring to the lAA meeting 

 is "Trends in Government." 



Rep. Dirksen who recently made a 

 32,000-mile trip through 21 countries 

 will discuss the "World We Live In 

 Today." This address should be of in- 

 terest to those who are concerned about 

 America's foreign policy and America's 

 place in world affairs.
