McCrary, President ol (he Haywood County Farm Bureau appealed today to the farmers of Haywood County to become mem bers of the Farm Bureau Parity for Agriculture Club. "To become a member," Mc Crary said, "it is necessary for a person to join the Haywood County Farm Bureau and secure the mem berships of at least nine other farmers.-' During the l'-48 State - wide Farm Bureau membership drive 1,027 Tar Heel farm men and wo men were members of the club, thereby dedicating themselves to fight for the parity principles for Agriculture and pledging them selves to make whatever sacrifices necessary to give farm people the same protection mat is auoraoci other groups. Farm Bureau mem berships written by Parity Club members last year totaled 53,420. "The Parity for Agriculture Club was formed in honor of the past president of tha American Farm Bureau, Edward A. O'Neal, who during 16 years as president fought constantly for parity income for the farmers of the Nation," Mc Crary said. "The North Carolina Farm Bureau recognizes its mem bers who perform specified duties in procuring memberships each year as Edward A. O'Neal Partly Club Members." President McCrary explained that the man and woman securing the largest number of Farm Bureau members in the State will be giv en expense-paid trips to the Na tional Farm Bureau Convention in Chicago this Fall. Awards for use in defraying the expenses of Par ity Club members to the National Convention will also be made to each county reaching its minimum membership quota and maximum quota, and for each 200 member ships in excess of the maximum membership quota. "Only through strong farm or ganization!" McCrary said, "can farmers make headway against the forces which tend to strangle pro duction, peg prices and hinder the free distribution of goods and serv ices to the disadvantage of pro ducers and consumers."
