24-HOUR 
SERVICE 
E. J. Kiekenapp, President and Gen. Mgr. 
January, 1934. 
To All Our Good Friends 
A year ago I stated the Government would 
en ™ legislation for the benefit of agriculture. 
lhat has come to pass and these benefits are 
now being felt. 
We are facing the brightest year in many— 
the New Deal is functioning and the Govern¬ 
ment recognizes that new money must start 
circulating from the farm. 
For this purpose, wheat, corn and hog allot¬ 
ment. money is pouring into the agricultural 
districts by the millions. Farm foreclosures 
have stopped. Loans are available. Frozen 
assets in closed banks are being released, and 
no doubt the dairy and cattle farmers will also 
obtain relief. 
The wise farmer will co-operate to the fullest 
extent with the Government. Get your share of 
these benefits—then plan carefully for the 
planting season, and you will find that “happy 
days’’ are here again in 1934. 
Again we point out in our new Annual the 
most profitable crops to grow—what to do with 
. the acres taken out of crop production—what are 
the newest money-makers in vegetables and fruits. 
Everything has been truthfully described and 
priced at honest values—for “Master Farmer’’ 
Seeds produce the crops that bring top prices. 
As all commodity prices are expected to ad¬ 
vance, it is advisable to place your orders early. 
So—chins up—look bravely into the future. 
A brighter day has dawned. Write us your 
problems—every man in our organization is 
ready to help you to better returns from your 
labor. 
We are ever grateful for the loyal support 
of our thousands of friends during 46 years of 
constant progress. May we be helpful to you 
this coming spring? 
Sincerely, 
E. J. KIEKENAPP, President.

Loyalty to our Government and fairness to 
our customers is our policy.
