This sfeady rise of progress is a trib- 

 ute to every Farm Bureau member. 

 It speaks for your encouragement to 

 young farmers, just starting out, who 

 waste no time in seeking the ad- 

 vantages that come to the farmer 

 who uses his Farm Bureau member- 

 ship to the fullest extent by active 

 participation. To these men we show 

 our increasing membership, more 

 than doubled since 1940! And we 

 say, "Glad to have you with us to 

 grow as we have grown — in 

 strength, and in deeds."
