Anna Partin Bass, Olive Forbes Bateman, Catherine White Beattv, Patricia Kellam Membership Drive Underway "Membership in Farm urBu '" that! afttfM KfiWA " Alkafta IPllMA than ever before," Albert Euro, president of the Perquimans County Farm Bureau, said recently. He pointed out that Farm Bureau voting delegates from thoughout the state earlier this year overwhelmingly approved a program which will expand and improve services to members. Areas covered in the expanded program include: ecology and environmental control, marketing, and field services. "This is a giant step for Farm Bureau, " Eure said, " and Is all the more reason why farmers would benefit by Joining the county organization." The Perquimans County Farm Vureau's annual mem bership campaign is now un derway, he reported. The organization is aiming for a membership goal of 450 Farm families this year. Eure said that because farmers constitute a minority and are not sufficiently organized to speak with one voice, they are too often "short changed" in the market place. "Our expanding marketing programs are designed to eliminate many of the inequities that the farmer faces in his marketing efforts." In noting that Farm Bureau is working on many fronts in behalf of agriculture, Eure said that "unity of effort through their general farm organization is the main avenue of progress for farmers." "An improved and more valuable Farm Bureau is the modern farmer's best tool for carving out a better future for himself," the Perquimans County Farm Vureau leader stated. He said that farmers are going to find their strength in numbers. White Receives Degree Hubert White Burden of Winfall son of Mrs. Ruth H. Burden of Winfall and Jackson M.
