Last Ma) two Germans, Hans Burhach 

 and Otto ton Feury, spent several days 

 studying lilinois Agriculture. They vis- 

 ited the offices of the Illinois Agricul- 

 tural Association, several County Farm 

 Bureaus, and the University of Illinois. 

 Below IS a letter received from Herr 

 Burbach by Roy John.tnn. lAA secretary 

 of special services. 



TWO WEEKS ago tomorrow, July 

 23, Baron von Feury and I arrived 

 at Uremerhaven after a very pleasant 

 return trip and in compliance with a 

 request of the Military Government 1 

 have just completed a detailed report 

 on the many experiences gained during 

 our trip through the United States. 

 This has kept me rather husy until now. 

 You may feel that a rather long time 

 has passed since we left your office on 

 May 11 after completing the first stage 



of our Farm Bureau trip. I have, how- 

 ever, not yet forgotten the days we 

 spent in Illinois and I want to take this 

 opportunity to thank you most kindly 

 for the wonderful way in which we were 

 taken care of by the Illinois Agricul- 

 tural Association, County Farm Bu- 

 reaus, and the University of Illinois. 

 It certainly has been a great experi- 

 ' ence for us and if there is one thing. 



1 do regret, it is only the fact that I 

 don't see any way to write to each of 

 your associates in your Chicago office 

 as well as in the various County Farm 

 Bureau offices individually to express 

 to all of them how deeply their kind 

 assistance has been appreciated. If you 

 have any way of conveying my sincere 

 gratitude to them. I should be very- 

 thankful.
