I've been in NFO four years now. The higher farm prices NFO member ship has meant to me would have paid for a new Cadillac and then some. But whether , you need higher farm prices to buy a car, send a boy to college or give your family a better living, you need NFO. NFO is putting America's money on the American farmer." Eugene Janssen, Farmer, Moville, Iowa. You too can reap a profit from NFO membership. Up until now, the American farmer could raise just about anything. ..except farm prices. But now there's NFO. NFO puts upward pressure on farm prices. Not just here and there. But across the board. And across the land. NFO has mem bers in every agricultural country of every con-' tinental state in the union. With power to assem-' ble production, and bargain with it, and move it from low price areas to high price areas. And to write supply contracts. So things are good. But we need your membership too.
