We congratulate this outstanding youth organi
zation which is building the farm leaders of
tomorrow . , .
Our future farmers will fall heir to the job of
helping feed a population soon to number 200
million! . . . and more and more land is being
taken out of production each year.
As we look to the future of today’s young
farmer, we must surely conclude that his farm of
the future will require a great deal of dependable,
low-cost electric power.
Rural Electrics, first to bring the advantages of
low-cost electric power to rural areas, stand ready
to meet the needs of the future farms and rural
homes with the same dedication to the philosophy
of service that has brought them success, and has
made them one of America’s greatest investments
