AGRICULTURAL 

 ASSOCIATION 



AND 99 COUNTY FARM BUREAUS 



Hungry cattle on hungry land might be a spectre of 

 the future — a danger signal for all Americans. Hungry 

 land means a weak and ill-fed nation. America's acres 

 have produced plentifully. During the war farm produc- 

 tion reached an all-time high. j 



But every farmer knows that in order to preserve the 

 fertility of the soil, land must be given a chance to rest . . . 

 must be fed and fertilized. The drain on the plant food 

 in our soil has been great. It will cost money to put it 

 back . . . and this must be met by favorable prices for 

 farm products. Farmers can afford to give the land the 

 rest and nourishment it needs only if fair farm prices and 

 profits are assured in the coming years. 



This is a cause that is worthy of united and positive 

 action by all farmers. It is a cause for which your Form 

 Bureau Is fighting.
