DRIVE FOR NEW
MEMBERS NETS 233
LEADING FARMERS
Educational Features of the Drive
VIII Prove Big Help to Planters.
Sufficient Membership to Func=
tiOn With State Organization.

The cotton membership campaign
carried out by the Farm Bureau
Cotton Association in Rankin Coun-
ty was highly satisfactory to those
in charge. Notwithstanding the fact
that some of the roads were in bad
condition at the beginning of the
drive due to the continued wet
spell we have had.
ON account of the roads it was
imUOsSible for the men to feacn
every community in the county bul
farmers have joined in almost every
community of the county and others
will be secured later on. The men
employed by the Association to
make this drive, Messrs. b. c. Nc
Whorter, II. NJ Rogers and e. ID
Sheriff., were very conservative III
their claims for the work OF the
cooperative selling plan and they
were careful not to make misleading
statements to the farmers who did
not understand the plan and the
educational features of the drive
will prove to be big help tc
eur farmers.
Ten years from today the farm
ers of the cotton growing section
will wonder why the farmers toler-
?ted the present wasteful system
as long as they have.
AS a result of this intensive cam
paign the county Farm Bureau has
membership sufficient to function
with the state organization ano
greatly assist their members in thf
cooperative selling and buying fol
their needs.
Two hundred and twenty-five
of the leading farmers of the county
have Joined and others are making
inquiries every day and will come
on in later in time to receive SOM
of the benefits to be had.
