MAN OF 

 MANY TALENTS 



Today's farmer, someone has said, must be 

 a mechanic, veterinarian, tax expert, economist, 

 agronomist, carpenter, geneticist, weather fore- 

 caster and philosopher. Today's farmer is all 

 these things. 



But today's progressive farmer has still other 

 talents — he is a keen student of legislation, a 

 policy maker, a public relations expert, a per- 

 suasive public speaker. No, not as an ir^dividual 

 does the farmer possess all these skills. But 

 through his Farm Bureau — by united action 

 with his neighbors' — the Illinois farmer brings 

 all these other talents to bear on this most im- 

 portant assignment: Maintaining a strong, pros- 

 perous agriculture as the foundation for a strong, 

 prosperous, well-fed nation.
