MANY FARMERS JOIN BUREAU
Fifty Per Cent of Those Visited En-
roll During First Week of Drive

Fifty Per Cent of Those Visited En-
roll During First Week of Drive
During the first week of the drive
for membership now being conducted
by the Kent County Farm Bureau, o5
per cent of all farmers actually seen
by the solicitors were secured as mem
bers, and only 18 per cent of those
seen have absolutely refused to join.
The remainder have either asked for
more time to consider the question, or
have set future date on which they
will send in their membership. An
interesting feature of the drive is the
fact that it reveals in certain sections
that per cent or more of the farmers
have sold their farms and are going
out of business. About 20 per cent of
the farmers seen and not joining give
financial reasons for putting it off, in
dlcating that many of them were hard
hit by the rapid decline in the prices
of farm products. In Smyrna Com
munity &c members were secured out
of 103 farmers seen by the solicitors;
% promised to join at an early date,
and only Is turned IL down. The drive
in this community was very capably
handled under the direction of E. H.
Donovan, local chairman. In East
Dover 81 members were secured in
the first drive out of 81 farms visited
and only 9 atcual refusals out of 81
farms visited.
