FARM BUREAU NOTES
The Farm Bureau Idea Gaining


During the past few weeks the
Michigan State Farm Bureau in CO.
operation with the County Farm
Bureau has conducted membership
drive in Oakland county, with the re-
suit that better than eighty per cent
of the total number of farmers visit
ed, signed up as members of the
County, State and National Farm
Bureau, for a period of three years.
As soon as the drive was completed
lin Oakland county the solicitors
working there went to Barry county
and it is expected that by the time
this is read the membership drive in
that county will be pretty well COM
|pleted.
From Barry county the work will
be carried to Allegan county, where
already an advertising campaign, to
acquaint the farmers with the need
and Importance of at once completing
a strong County, State and National
Organization and purposes of this or
ganization, is being carried on. Van
Buren, county was one of the first
counties in the state in which some
of the leading farmers strongly back
ed the State Farm Bureaus plan of
organization and signifed desire to
have publicity campaign and men,
bership drive put on by the State or
ganization.
The big problem of the State Farm
Bureau at the present time is to get
to the counties as fast as they are
ready for the work. At the present
time between twelve and fifteen coun
ties are ready to put on the publicity
campaign and membership drive and
are awaiting their turn for help from
the State organization. 1t is expect
ed that the membership drive will
be started in this county within the
next few weeks as Mr.. Waldo Philips
of Hamilton township, who was ap-
polnCeu ny tne ENecuIlVe Committees
of the County Farm Bureau to act
as County Chairman for the member
ship drive, is devoting his entire
time to getting the county properly
organized for the work. Everywhere
farmers are greeting the idea of or
ganizing in business way for bust
ness, that they may not be overcome
by other organized forces, with a
great deal of enthusiasm, which
promises we'll for the membership
drive.
