:;^ A sigrnificant feature of the drive 

 in many counties is that many of the 

 new members were signed by com- 

 paratively few men. For example, in 

 Henderson county most of the 343 

 new members were signed by General 

 Agent Bill Stevenson, Captain Otto

Steffey and less than a half dozen 

 lieutenants who worked with them. In 

 Mason county Captain Leonard Keith 

 and four or five lieutenants were 

 largely responsible for signing the 

 bulk of the 180 new members there. 

 In other counties the local organiza- 

 tion committees were successful in 

 getting a large number of active 

 lieutenants in the field. Solicitors with 

 special training and experience or 

 with an aptitude for presenting com- 

 plete information to the prospect in a 

 convincing way were most successful. 

 Most of the men who worked were 

 active farm operators without any 

 special training in salesmanship. 



Tazewell Going Strong 



i.: 



Geo. W. Deppert, captain of the mo- 

 bilization campaign in Tazewell coun- 

 ty, is responsible along with a loyal, 

 hard-working groXip of lieutenants for 



signing 170 new 

 members since 

 October 9. 



The Tazewell 

 County Farm Bu- 

 reau was the first 

 organized Farm 

 Bureau in Illinois. 

 The Kankakee 

 County and De-' 

 Kalb County Soil 

 and Crop Im- 

 prove men t As- 

 sociation, which 

 later changed their names to Farm 

 Bureau, were the initial county or- 

 ganizations. Both were established in 

 1912. 



Tazewell county has had one of the 

 strongest Farm Bureaus in the state 

 for many years and was perhaps the 

 first in the state to make low cost 

 Farm Bureau auto insurance avail- 

 able to its members.

' 'v Foreign Trade Move 



The executive committee of the 

 American Farm Bureau Federation 

 met in Washington April 11 at the 

 call of Pres. Edw. A. O'Neal to con- 

 sider the administrative program of 

 reciprocal trade agreements with for- 

 eign countries. President Earl C. 

 Smith of the I. A. A. attended the 

 Farm Bureau session, also met with 

 representatives of other farm groups 

 who are working together through the 

 National Agricultural Conference. The 

 Farm Bureau is backing the program, 

 headed by Geo. N. Peek, to reestablish 

 foreign outlets for surplus farm prod- 

 ucts. 



Knox Has Biggest 



Signup Since '21 



Since the five-day campaign during 

 which 18 men signed 280 new mem- 

 bers, 17 more have been signed which 

 brings the total for the two week pe- 

 riod to 297, Farm adviser A. R. Kemp 

 of Knox county writes. 



Knox county led the state in the mo- 

 bilization campaign beginning last 

 October by signing a total of 602 new 

 members. 



"It was the co-operation of these 

 solicitors, the Farm Bureau directors, 

 and the men who drove them that 

 made this record possible," writes 

 Kemp. "This brings the total member- 

 ship of the Knox County Farm Bureau 

 to 1381, which is the highest member- 

 ship we have had in this county since 

 war times. 



"The men who signed the highest 

 number of members in this group are 

 B. L. Baird with 34, Elmer Anderson 

 26, Roscoe Simkins 21, A. N. Skinner 

 20, A. L. Doubet 18, Reuben Johnson 

 18, Loren Johnston 18, Reed Gibbs 17, 

 and Earl Johnson 16.*'

Uvestock Producers Hit ; 



New High Records 



During the week of| April 7 to 13 

 the Chicago Producers handled a total 

 of 446 cars of livestock which consti- 

 tuted 15.88% of Chicago receipts after 

 deducting directs. This was a new rec-^ 

 ord. Almost in the same mail came an 

 announcement from Cincinnati Pro- 

 ducers that they handled 51.17% of 

 receipts on that market and 55.62% 

 of the hogs. 



Buffalo Producers report 60.3% of 

 total receipts for the same week, an- 

 other record. 



This is a period of new records in 

 cooperative livestock marketing. There 

 has never been a time when livestock 

 producers recognize more generally 

 the necessity of cooperating in the 

 marketing end of their business.

Frank Is A Real 



Farm Bureau Booster 



'■ / 



When Frank Butler of Lee county 

 joined the Farm Bureau he was so 

 well sold on his organization that he 

 turned right around and himself 

 signed up 18 new members within 

 two days. He followed up with six 

 more in less than a week, making a 

 total of 24 new members signed, re- 

 ports Chuck Yale, farm adviser.
