had been signed up and paid up, or,
one-half of the quota. In addition
to turning in the one hundred twen-
ty-five paid-up members a sufficient
amount of members who expected to
pay in the near future were turned
in, fulfilling the quota as pledged
by farm leaders at the original meet-
ing in Seymour.
Since the close of the membership
campaign numbers of new members |
have been dropping into the County |
office and paying their membert|hip
which leads us to believe we will
have a minimum of four hundred
members by the end of 1939.
Following* 6k. -^.abarzl-iv cam-
paign, the County Agent and Home
Demonstration Agent devised the I
following plan to keep the organi-4
zation alive: To train leaders and
execute the organization program
at well .^s assist in a better execu-
tion of the Extension Program. The
second step in the plan was to con-
duct the County Organisation Meet-
ing and elect officers and directors
for the ensuing year, at which time
the following were elected: Presi-
dent, F, G. Wiley, Bunger Rt., Gra-
ham, Texas; Vice-President, Mrs. G.
E. Caskey, Rt. A, Graham, Texas;
Secretary-Treasurer, R. V. Bums,
Rt. No. 2, Graham, Texas. Direc-
tors elected are: E. M. Ball, Pre-
cinct No. 1, Rt A, Graham, Texas;
C. E. Donnell, Precinct No. 2, Mur-
ray, Texas; Charles F. Kunkel, Pre-
cinct No. 2, Olney, Texas; J. R.
Bills, Precinct No. 4, Loving, Texas.
The third step was to call in the
executive committee and adopt a
plan of work for the entire year
for County Meetings. The Exten-
sion Agents believe that by having
pne county meeting each month of
the entire membership and their
families, well executed, both educa-
tional and recreational, that there
would be much more interest in the
organisation and at the same time
give the Extension Agents much
more time to participate in other
activities. The plan includes that
all officers of each local commit-
tee organisation shall attend the
county meetings and in turn take
the information received %t
county meetings to their respective
