The reeular meeting of the executive

The regular meeting of the executive committee of the Holland County Farm Bureau was held in Memorial hall, Rockville last week Wednesday. The chief business of the meeting was the mapping out of a plan of membership campaign for the bureau, and the raising of the funds necessary to carry on the work. The plan as outlined is for the various directors in each town to hold a meeting of the town committed and to divide up the work in such way as to most easily reach each person who might be interested. It is especially desired that every farmer as far as possible should be given an opportunity to join the Farm Bureau, as it has been found that where there is 8 strong active membership, there the greatest demands are made for the work which the Farm Bureau is doing. A general committee, representing each tele' phone exchange was appointed to have general oversight of the campaign Wallace Thrall, Vernon; w. s. Haven South Coventry; E. A. Smith, Hebron
 R. O. Barrows, Union. The dates sci for the campaign were from Sept. 17th to 22d. It is especially necessary to raise from memberships and from contributions from organizations al least $l 1000 in order that this money be duplicated by the state and county. If this money is raised there will be available for Farm Bureau work the coming year, the total sum of 1850, which will cover the expense of the county agent, assistant county agent, boys and girls club work and a woman county agent. In view of the fact of the establishment in the Farm Bureau of women's work efforts will be made to include the women of the county in its membership. A book let explaining the work of the Farm Bureau has been prepared by the county agent.
