AGRICULTURAL 

 ASSOCIATION 



AND 99 COUNTY FARM BUREAUS 



Second only to his devotion to his country was 

 George Washington's iove of the iand and his desire to 

 be a better farmer. Many of his farming practices were 

 far in advance of his day. But Washington had to gather 

 his scientific facts from his own experiments and by ex- 

 changing his findings with other leading agriculturists of 

 America and Europe. i .: 



Today's farmer has at his command all the latest 

 scientific findings of agriculture from the laboratories and 

 the experimental fields through the Extension Service of 

 his College of Agriculture and his Farm Adviser. Ever 

 seeking to advance, organized farmers through their Farm 

 Bureau have established soil testing laboratories and have 

 secured adoption of recent laws providing for further ex- 

 pansion of scientific research for agriculture. 



Today's farmer has these aids and more. Farm Bu- 

 reau's study and leadership touches every phase of farm 

 management — production, purchasing, marketing, taxa- 

 tion, legislation, public relations. Today, the position, the 

 broad information, the rewards that George Washington 

 wished for the infant American Agriculture are available 

 to every farmer.
