Farm Bureau Membership Notes.

Orleans County Farm Bureau asso-
citation on July 9th, begins a series
of meetings for the purpose of bring
ing home to its membership a record
of some of the accomplishments of
the year just completed and to incite
a desire on the part of those farmers
who have not yet given their sup
port to the work, to join this worlds
greatest farm movement and get be-
hind the organization that is doing so
much to build up farm interests with
their membership.
What can be accomplished through
united effort has been demonstrated
time and again. The cooperativing
marketing bill could not secure suf-
ficient backing to become a law until
Farm Bureau effort brought out sup
porters.
The Tariff bill carries much help

would not have been included except
for the faithful work of our Farm
Bureau leaders. In joining your
county Farm Bureau you also be-
come a member of the state and ma
tional organizations and are thus do
ing your part in helping to secure the
benefits.
We urge you to attend these meet
'lngs and bring your neighbor farm
ers. AS an added attraction the

Valley" has been secured for these
meetings. This is fve-reel picture
