The Council of the Agricultural
Society at a recent meeting decided
that each active member of the
County Organizations affiliated with
the Agricultural Society should pay,
through the respective county or
ganizations, one dollar ($1.00) per
year in dues, in addition to what
ever county or local dues may be
fixed in each county.
Fifty cents of each dollar SO paid
should go to support the Agricul-
tural Society and fifty cents to the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
The dues to the Agricultural Society
will be used to defray the travelling
expenses of county delegates to the
meetings of the Council, and also to
pay timely news bulletins of the
Agricultural Society, to be sent to
each active member, and for other
necessary expenses for advancing
the interests of agriculture.
Any person may be a member OF
several local organizations, as for
instance Grange, Community Club,
etc. Such an individual would be
expected to pay as dues to the Agri-
cultural Society only one dollar pei
year, and his dues to the local ana
County Organizations would remain
unchanged. Such person should be
allowed to designate the particular
local organization through which he
would pay the one dollar dues to the
Agricultural Society, and a receipt
for one dollar so paid should re-
lease him from the obligation to pay
such dues through another local or
ganization. This receipt is given
in form of card, which when pre-
scented to the other organizations
shows that that person has contribu-
ted the one dollar.
