Being a member of the Illinois Agricul- 

 tural Association it is my privilege to re- 

 ceive a copy of the Record each month. 

 In the June issue there is an article headed 

 "What is This 100 Per Cent Assessment 

 Law?" 



The questions relating to the new phases 

 of the revenue law are pertinent ones and 

 are answered in a condensed way which the 

 average man can understand readily. How- 

 ever, many taxpayers are not reached with 

 copies of the lAA Record. Will your 

 office grant me permission to make mimeo- 

 graphed copies of portions of this article? 



These articles may be given to "Inquirers" 

 in place of oral answers. 



A. R. Matheny, 

 Treasurer, Hardin County 



The 100 per cent assessment law is not 

 easy to understand. That is why we made a 

 special effort to explain it as simply as possible. 

 We are pleased Mr. Matheny liked it and hope 

 he will make full use of it for the benefit of 

 the taxpayers in Hardin county. 



LETTERS TO 

 THE EDITOR 



THRIVING YOUNG MARRIEDS 



The Rural Marrieds of Edwards county 

 have a new organization. We've had three 

 meetings so far. Here's our set-up. Glenn 

 Shepherd and Quentin Roosevelt were 

 elected chairmen; Mrs. Albert Walker, 

 secy.-treasurer; and Mrs. Robert Green, 

 song leader for the coming year. 



We have three couples take charge of 

 each meeting. These couples, determined 

 by alphabetical order of their names, make 

 up three committees which have charge of 

 educational features, recreation, refresh- 



ments. As new members come, their names 

 will be added. 



Virgil Judge, county supt. of schools, 

 and Sgt. Earl Stroup, highway patrolman, 

 have given talks. 



Each couple takes sandwiches or cookies 

 and the refreshment committee serves a 

 beverage. Average attendance has been 

 23. We think this is a great organization 

 and are hoping you'll give us a little men- 

 tion in the lAA Record. We have an age 

 limit of 15 years of married life. If at the 

 end of that time, we are still a going bunch, 

 we'll organize a new group and call it the 

 "Old Married Folks Club."

ANTI DAYLIGHT SAVING 



In your "Letters to the Editors" depart- 

 ment in the June issue of the RECORD, you 

 give an editorial to a letter written by one 

 Hugh Uttermack of Clay county relative to 

 daylight saving time. 



You state therein that only about 20 per 

 cent of the people of Illinois live on farms, 

 which may be true, but do you realize that 

 20 per cent dig their living and the living 

 for the other 80 per cent out of good old 

 Mother Earth, for you know that everything 

 originates from the earth, and you can only 

 coordinate with old Mother Earth by sun 

 time. 



If this other 80 per cent want daylight 

 saving time they can let the clocks alone and 

 begin their working day an hour earlier. 

 Does that 80 per cent' go to bed an hour 

 earlier? Or spend a quiet hour with their 

 families? Or do some constructive work for 

 their minds or bodies or families or neigh- 

 borhoods ? 



I'll venture to say that 'tO per cent of that 

 80 per cent spend that extra hour in taverns, 

 night clubs and the like, or else country 

 people would not have to be trying to set 

 up laws to keep taverns out of rural dis- 

 tricts. No, that rural population is being 

 squeezed to the point where it has to take 

 whatever price is offered for its products, 

 and pay whatever price is dictated on the 

 supplies it needs to buy. They tried to 

 change our clocks to a man made time 

 rather than adhere to God's celestial time. 

 Is it any wonder than the young people of 

 this nation are thinking twice and three 

 times before taking up farming, and then 

 passing it up? 



Think it over, go out and become a farm- 

 er in some form or other from the first of 

 March till the first of December, get the 

 facts of all this actually going through all 

 the operations, then let's hear the result of 

 it through the RECORD.

IF ALL HOG GROWERS VACCINATED 



AGAINST HOG CHOLERA 



I ' 



Yes sir, it might look like this if all 

 farmers vaccinated against hog chol- 

 era. We're sure that it would mean a 

 saving of many millions of dollars to 

 hog producers through a reduction in 

 pig losses. , 



We recommend early vaccination with 

 fresh, potent F. B. Serum.
