Define Status of 



Farm Bureau Member 



Delegates to the 22nd annual meeting 

 of the lAA in Chicago adopted a poliqf 

 resolution which provides that new mem- 

 bers in County Farm Bureaus which ad- 

 just the payment of dues to the mem- 

 bership year shall be considered members 

 in good standing when they have paid 

 their dues in cash for the period of 

 adjustment. Under this provision, per- 

 sons joining the Farm Bureau for the first 

 time shall be granted all rights and 

 privileges of the organization by paying 

 dues covering the remainder of the mem- 

 bership year. At the end of the year 

 new members shall be required to pay 

 either a year's dues in advance, or, if 

 such dues are to be paid in two equal 

 installments, the first installment in cash 

 accompanied by evidence of indebtedness 

 for the second installment. The latter 

 provision is a part of Policy resolution 

 No. 1, which was adopted January, 1935. 



The delegates resolved, in Policy Reso- 

 lution No. 6, that in cases of a transfer 



of membership from one County Farm 

 Bureau to another, the membership dues 

 must be prorated between them. The 

 basis of this division of dues is the num- 

 ber of months that the member belonged 

 to each Farm Bureau. 



Resolution No. 7, as passed reads: 

 "Resolved, that the County Farm Bureau 

 in any county shall not solicit or accept 

 the membership of persons residing on 

 a farm located in any other county except 

 with the consent of the County Farm 

 Bureau in such other county. " 



Policy Resolution No. 8 recommends 

 that County Farm Bureaus cancel all 

 memberships which are delinquent more 

 than 60 days after the close of the mem- 

 bership year. It recommends that the 

 rights of the cancelled membership to 

 receive service, to participate in any dis- 

 tribution of savings, or to hold member- 

 ship in affiliated companies, be with- 

 drawn after 60 days of delinquency. 



Livingston County First 

 in Flood Relief Work 



(Continued from page 10) 



"Uf)on reading newspaper items and 

 hearing radio commentators tell of starv- 

 ing livestock in numerous counties of the 

 flood area, we immediately tried to con- 

 tact some of the points in need. We 

 finally got in touch with the Farm Bu- 

 reaus in White and Gallatin counties 

 who confirmed reports that many head 

 of livestock had little or no feed. 



"We promised them help and started 

 immediately to load feed, clothing and 

 food into trucks. Sam Albright, chair- 

 man of the Livingston County committee 

 in charge of the drive, and I went with 

 the first caravan (Feb. 9)- The size was 

 soon cut down because of mud and rain 

 which held up some of the trucks. We 

 were cordially greeted by Farm Adviser 

 Wright of White County. 



"We unloaded com at bases that had 

 been established and where the livestock 

 was being taken care of by certain ap- 

 pointed individuals. It was alloted care- 

 fully by the local Farm Bureau commit- 

 tee. I shall never forget unloading a 

 half truck load of corn at one place where 

 the farmer was caring for 19 head of 

 horses and mules which belonged to 

 others. He had completely exhausted his 



own supply in performing this charitable 

 act. It made me appreciate how much 

 this meant to them, and how little sacri- 

 fice our act had caused us. We also took 

 loads of com to the water's edge where 

 it was unloaded to be picked up by barges 

 and floated to high points upon which 

 livestock were marooned. 



"The Farm Bureau and the Livingston 

 Service Company contributed $150 each 

 to pay for gas, oil and drivers' meals. 

 The drivers contributed their time and 

 use of their trucks. We could not get 

 into Gallatin County because of water. 

 The White County Farm Bureau fed us 

 while in the county, gave us our lodging 

 and filled our tanks with gas for the re- 

 tum trip. 



"We found that conditions had not 

 been exaggerated. We wish that every 

 farmer in Livingston County who con- 

 tributed could have been with us. With 

 the sense of the service they had rend- 

 ered, we were happy for them. Since 

 taking five truck loads on February 9, 

 we sent 25 truck loads on Feb. 12 and 

 10 loads Feb. 14. More will follow to 

 other points of need as soon as we can 

 get through." . i . : ■
