According to Mr. I'laut:. I'arm Bureau 

 membership in his township has m- 

 crcased ahout ^0 per cent durins; the past 

 two years. VC'hile it is impossible to at- 

 tribute the increase in membership en- 

 tirely to the local community unit, he 

 feels that no work ot the I'arm Bureau 

 is bringing more lastinu' results than this 

 type ot monthly, social and educational 

 meetinc, uith a \aried j^roijram ol music, 

 talks, discussions and lunch 



In Madison county there are five other 

 community units which are holdini; meet- 

 ings. One of the most successful is the 

 St. Jacobs ( ommunity I'nit. Accordini; 

 to I'arm Aclviser .May. one of the tine 

 things about the I'ort Russell group is 

 that the members in rhe community 

 wanted the unit, felt a need for it. and 

 have kept it going without much as 

 sistancc from the larm Bureau office.
