Farm Bureau Membership Campaign.
The farm bureau and the Illinois
Agricultural association membership
drive closed last week With a total
Of 1883 members secured during the
four weeks of the campaign This
gives Hancock county the strong est
farm bureau in this section OF the
state, which speaks well for the work
of the officers of the local organiza,
ton.
Had it not been for the unfayOrable
weather conditions and muddy roads
the membership list would undoubt
edIy have been above 1000, because
these conditions made it impossible
to work all the territory during the
campaign 1t is the plan Of the loca
leaders to see as many of the mer
who were not signed during the cam
paign as possible, and every farmer
who has not been invited to joiT
should see the director in his town
ship or go to the farm bureau office
at Carthage
