1 80 New Members Are 

 Signed in Mason County 



, t .j r ,..« m 



- Since the mobilization campaign 

 ; started last fall, 180 new members 

 I have been signed in Mason county, re- 

 ports C. S. Love, farm adviser. "Our 

 previous membership was 483,*' writes 



Mr. Love, so this 

 shows an increase 

 of 37 per cent. 



"Leonard Keith, 

 our county cap- 

 tain, together 

 with the loyal 

 lieutenants who 

 work with him 

 are largely re- 

 sponsible £or this 

 splendid showing. 

 It is safe to say 

 that 90 per cent 

 of the members signed were signed 

 individually by Mr. Keith or when 

 some lieutenant was with him. Our 

 captain's enthusiasm is noteworthy. 

 One day he stopped at a certain farm 

 to interview the owner. He found a 

 community butchering in process. In- 

 stead of backing out when he found 

 several neighbors there, he went right 

 ahead and signed up three new mem- 

 bers. The other two already were 

 members. f ^ c .. > 



"In one day's work by riding with 



a lieutenant, 12 members were signed 

 out of 15 interviewed. And this was in 

 winte r when the d ays were mighty 



short. ■ :.;;:_^.-':" ''., .:•;■,■, , .. ■.,,..•■ i:-,.:- /:•:;•;• .......^ ; .^ ;. ' 



"The captain appreciated the assist- 

 ance given by the I. A. A. in keeping 

 him well informed, also the personal 

 help of Mr. Metzger, John Moore and 

 O. D. Brissenden of the Organization 



Department. .■.-■:'■ r-}^:';;'- 

 :, "The work has not stopped in Mason 

 county, and following a recent meet- 

 ing of the captain and lieutenants the 

 campaign is being carried on."

9972 New Members 



Signed Since Oct. 9th 



At the two-day March meeting of 

 the I. A. A. board of directors one day 

 was devoted to a discussion of all the 

 activities and projects of the I. A. A. 

 and associated companies by officers 

 and members of the staff. The goal or 

 objectives of the various departments 

 and companies during the next year 

 were outlined in brief by the depart- 

 ment directors and managers followed 

 by questions and discussion by mem- 

 bers of the boards - ' 



Secretary Metzger stated that a 

 total of 9,972 new members had been 

 reported signed in the eight organiza- 

 tion districts of the state between Oc- 

 tober 9, 1933 and March 3, 1934. 



"We had two of the best Farm Bu- 

 reau meetings this week that have 

 been held in Edgar county for a long 

 time. 197 members were reported last 

 night, at our victory dinner. This is an 

 incomplete report, however. 



"Vaniman sure stepped right down 



the center of the pike in the Monday 



meeting. I think he hit the ball harder 



than it has been hit in Edgar county 

 for a long time. However, this has 

 come as a climax to our work during 

 the past seven months. The spirit of 

 the men in the Monday meeting as 

 well as in the Wednesday night meet- 

 ing was excellent. We have little doubt 

 but what our total will be brought up 

 to 250 members by Saturday night."

 • County Farm Bureau. 



Gain 37% '" Schuyler 



"We have written a total of 86 new 

 members since January 1," reports L. 

 E. McKinzie, farm adviser in Schuyler 

 county. "This is an increase of more 

 than 37 per cent. We expect to reach 

 50 per cent before the first of April."
