feel we have worked together more
during the past year than ever he
fore; especially do we believe this
is true with regards 10 legislation.

recognized by Congress the past
year more than ever before, due
largely to the States and County
Farm Bureaus. cooperating with
the American Farm Bureau FEEDER

the most important things the State

past year was to keep in touch with
bills of interest to farmers that were
pending before Congress. letting
them know just whore We stood and
what we wanted.

milk compounds: approval OF Fed !

Of the Ford proposal for Muscle
