4 Thousand Members For Our
Farm Bureau.

Last Saturday, at directors and
boosters meeting, it was decided to
carry on ten-day membership
drive. In order to reduce the costs
to each individual, a three dollar
due was voted on three year basis.
This will more uniformly distribute
the expenses throughout the county.
This means that practically every
farmer and business man should be
a member of the Farm Bureau.
rl,e arm Bureau is organized on
broad, constructive policy, for the
improvement of the farm and home
and should be of equal interest to
town and country folks alike.
Look up the director in your town
ship, sign up with him, or sign up at
bank in the county, or at the county
agents office. 1t is your Farm Bur-
eau. You should be member.
The drive will be launched toward
the latter part of the week. 1t ought
to be closed with more than a
thousand members inside of ten
days. Many counties in the state
have already completed a thousand
memberships for their organization
and have a five dollar membership
fee at that.
Here's for your support OF your
Farm Bureau.
