After the meeting of the committee
Had adjourned number of the mem
bers expressed the wish that one di-
rector be appointed at large by the
President of the State Farm Bureau to
specifically represent the Farm Bur-
eaus of Idaho. 1t is possible that such
a change may yet be made in the pro-
vision for elecriing directors and if so
the territory will have to be re-dis-
tricted into eight districts instead of
nine. In this event, it is probable that
the district with headquarters at Weis-
er will be combined with the Ontario
district.
1t will be necessary, however, before
making this change to get in touch
with the various members of the COM
mittee In order to gain their consent
