This structure is enclosed in a basic encased with the words, "Farm Credit Service," "Up to the present," said lock, "banks and associations of the System have used a variety of emblems. As a result, there was little indication that our three institutions are related and have closely correlated purobjectives, and goals. In poses, actuality, this close relationship is the source of much of our strength in providing sound credit for farmers and stockmen." Behind the new Federal Land Bank Association emblem is a 47 year old credit institution, deeply rooted in American agriculture.

It is the pioneer of the Farm Credit System. Established during World War the land banks were the first to make general use throughout the country of the long term amortized loan, a feature that revolutioned farm real estate lending. The Federal Land Bank Association of Mendenhall serves Covington, Jasper, Jefferson Davis, Simpson and Smith Counties, and has 700 members and with $2,604,973.00 in loans outstanding. Money for these loans comes from the Federal Land Bank of New Orleans, which obtains funds by selling bonds in the nation's private investment market. There are no appropriated Federal funds in the land banks nor does the Government guarantee the bonds, either as to principal or interest rate.

"Our new FLBA corporate indentification program will become a nationally known farmer owned trade mark," Bullock pointed out.

DABBS CO. HARDWARE MAIN MAGEE The Mississippi Forestry mission is actively working toward the development of a pine plywood industry in the state, according to Jack Rhodes, the Commission's wood utilization forester in Jackson. Rhodes says that such an indutry was not possible until recently. About three years ago the U.

S. Forest Products Laboratory developed techniques for making rotary cut veneer from southern pine logs. Veneer is I made by rotating a log against a long knife which cuts a thin sheet of wood, much like unrolling a large roll of paper. The vener is dried and glued up in several layers to make plywood. Large manufacturers of construction plywood from western softwoods have been examining the southern states for suitable locations for plywood mills.

Large volumes of pine logs of sufficient size and quality are required on a sustained basis for many years to come, according to Rhodes. The Forestry Commission has been working closely with the A I Board. Both agencies are determined to get one or more pine plywood mill located in the state. The Forestry Commission provides data on size, quantity and volume of timber being grown in various parts of the state, plus information on keting, loggisg conditions any other information. The A I Board provides data on the ious financing plans for new plants, plus various state laws which make a favorable climate for industrial growth.

Both the Forestry Commission NIGHT SHIFT and the A I Board createl for the purpose of developing Mississippi's free prise economy and are vigorously COoperating toward this common goal, say Rhodes. He emphasized that the improved timber growing practic. es of the state's landowners have placed Mississippi position to attract industries requiring large volume of medium and larger pine sawtimber of god quality. "Plywood plants using pine will provide a real incentive for landowners to grow large, quality says Rho les.

Sabezek, Deluth, Minn. on our auto production line Our business is not automobiles. But we run a "production line" that transports automobile parts long distances between factories. Most nights we move hundreds of tons of automobile frames, other components and finished automobiles. Manufacturers, distributors and dealers like our service.

It saves them money. They can count on delivery. And it's fast. We get results for our shippers ways: By constantly thinking of new ways to do jobs better. And by ample investment each year in new and finer railroad equipment.

These are the best ways we know to work with our friends and neighbors along the Main Line of MidAmerica. WAYNE A. JOHNSTON President ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD MAIN LINE OF MID -AMERICA.
