FARM BUREAU LIMIT
 DATE IS MADE JUNE 30

The date of certification as to the amount raised for the farm bureau in each county through memberships and subscriptions has been changed to June 30 from September 30. Any county that does not raise at least $1,000 by June 30 and since the last date of certifica- tion, can receive no state or county ap- propriations.
 This is the reason why membership
 campaigns in most of the counties were planned for February and March. Owing to the conditions of weather and travel the work has been delayed and returns are coming in slowly. As the time is now limited for completing the returns, the speeding up season has arrived, and | there is no time to lose, for the weeks are few.
 Fortunately in more than half the counties the returns have been so en- | coura ging that the minimum has already | been passed What is even more en- couragfng, the memberships in rural sec l lions have increased materially, espec- l Ially in those towns where the work last
 year was significant. Some towns that | have never supported farm bureau work
 are counted on the helping side this
 year.
