 IOWA 



Farm Bureau leaders from both Iowa 

 and Illinois addressed the visitors at 

 simultaneous general meetings in Amboy 

 and Galesburg. 



President Charles B. Shuman of the 

 lAA told the lowans at Galesburg that 

 they were bringing out the best in their 

 hosts and that it made us proud to have 

 our friends from Iowa come to see what 

 we were doing. John Lacey, AFBF pub- 

 licity director, said he hoped the idea 

 would spread so every state can benefit 

 from the best in the others. 



Dean H. P. Rusk of the College of 

 Agriculture, noting the interest of the 

 visitors in the soil laboratories, said at 

 Amboy that they were one of the land- 

 marks in the application of science to 

 agriculture. 



Also at the Amboy meeting Iowa Farm 

 Bureau Federation President Allen Kline 

 expressed the appreciation of the Iowa 

 visitors for the welcome accorded by 

 Illinois. Speaking for the hosts, lAA 

 Vice President Floyd E. Morris outlined 

 fundamental policy of the lAA and Illi- 

 nois County Farm Bureaus. 



With generous thanks and praise for 

 the kindness of the Illinois county Farm 

 Bureaus that played host during their 

 two-day visit, the Iowa delegations en- 

 trained for home late in the day tired but 

 pleased with the results of their trip.
