INCREASE IN FARM
BUREAU MEMBERSHIP
In 1916 There Were 1926 and This
Years Figures Are 521-Cam-
paign the Coming Month.

There has been gradual increase in
the membership of the Windham Coun-
ty Farm Bureau. Each year member
ship canvass is taken and only the
names of those who join or renew are
continued on the mailing list In 1916
there were 325 paid-up members, in
1917 there were 440 and in 1918 there
were 52l. These figures do not include
the home economies members, of which
there were l21 additional in 1918 This
shows a healthy growth and if the
membership campaign which will be
conducted in January is as successful
as that in other counties the member-
ship in Windham county should be in
creased to 500 or 900.
