I For The 33rd Annual Meeting Of The 

 I Illinois Agricultural Association and 

 Its Associated Companies 



w 



tions. 



HAT does the future hold for Illinois farmers? What must 

 they do to adjust themselves to the downward trend in prices 

 most of us expect? Farmers attending the 33rd annual meet- 

 ing of the Illinois Agricultural Association and Associated 

 Companies probably will hear the answers to both these ques- 



Besides hearing nationally famous speakers delve into some of 

 the more pressing national problems of agriculture, farmers attending 

 the St. Louis meeting will hear what the lAA is trying to do to solve 

 local farm community issues. 



Included among the topics for discussion at the lAA's first an- 

 nual convention out of Chicago in seven years will be legislation, 

 parity, food shipments overseas, fertilizer shortages, price suppjorts, 

 soil conservation, government economies, taxation of cooperatives. Farm 

 Bureau membership, rural schools, rural roads, rural health, animal 

 disease control, taxation, and many others. 



Reports of progress by lAA departments and Associated Com- 

 panies for the past year will be presented by department heads and 

 company managers and plans for the lAA's coming year will be dis- 

 cussed in the president's annual report by Charles B. Shuman. 



Half of the meetings will be held in the Jefferson Hotel with the 

 others being scattered among the DeSoto, Mark Twain and Statler 

 Hotels and Bishop Tuttle Auditorium. 



General sessions, except the last one starting at 1 p.m., Thursday, 

 will be held at the Kiel Auditorium. This includes the Tuesday eve- 

 ning program of general entertainment. The final general session will 

 be held in the Jefferson Hotel. 



A special invitation has been extended the Farm Bureau people 

 of southern Illinois to attend the annual meeting this year since St. 

 Louis is much nearer that section of the state than Chicago. 



Southern Illinois Farm Bureau folks responded strongly to the 

 invitation to attend the convention in St. Louis seven years ago when 

 the lAA was celebrating its Silver Anniversary or 25th annual meet- 

 ing. Southern Illinois attended the meeting in large numbers and 

 made it the biggest lAA convention in history up to that time. 



The convention is the occasion for the election of a president and 

 vice president of the lAA and election of half of the membership of 

 the lAA board of directors. 



The annual meeting also will be the occasion for the finals of the 

 state Rural Youth Talk Fest when a champion will be selected to rep- 

 resent Illinois in the national Talk Fest to be held at the American 

 Farm Bureau Federation convention in Chicago in December. 



Finals of the state Skilled Drivers' Club will be held during the
