NEW FARM BUREAU MEMBER 



Si^J^ 28 oJthsM in (Osak 



YOU'D think Gene Shufeldt of Kin- 

 mundy had been a member of the 

 Marion County Farm Bureau for the 

 past 20 years the way he talks up his 

 county organization. 



And he doesn't just talk, he does 

 something about it. He convinces his 

 neighbors. In fact he has set a new 

 record in his county for signing up new 

 members. In the recent membership 

 drive he signed up 28 members in one 

 week and 35 in all. 



Yet Shufeldt has been a Farm Bureau 

 member himself for less than a year. He 

 came to the community not long ago and 

 was signed up by County Organization 

 Director E. L. DeLay. Taking advantage 

 of Farm Bureau services he soon be- 

 came sold on the organization lock, 

 stock and barrel. 



In the recent membership drive, Shu- 

 feldt was awarded the grand prize of a 

 white nanny goat for signing up the 



greatest number of new members. 



Asked the secret of his success in 

 convincing members that their interests 

 lie with Farm Bureau, Shufeldt said: 



'I pick the time and the place, get 

 the fellow alone and talk to him man to 

 man. I ask him to come along with us 

 and tell him that Farm Bureau needs 

 him. Then I tell him the advantages of 

 belonging to Farm Bureau and of the 

 services he can expect. I lay the con- 

 tract out. tell him to sign and say I'll 

 see to it that he gets all the services 

 that are coming to him. 



"I never get excited when a man re- 

 fuses to sign or objects to something in 

 Farm Bureau. And if the man asks me 

 about something I don't know myself, 

 I don't give him a doubtful answer. I 

 tell him I will check with the farm ad- 

 viser or the county organization director 

 and let him know."
