“Three hundred members In 1944“
Is the slogan set up by tbe Kershaw
County Chapter of the South Caro
lina Farm Bureau, an affiliate of the
Anierkan Farm Bureau F^ederation.
Kershaw county has some 1806
white formers end as tbe benefits of
tbe Farm Bureau organisation are
brought to the attention of these
agricnltrists, it is believed that tbe
next 12 months will witness a rapid
growth of toe county unit. There
ere in the state at tbia time 17 county
farm bureau units already organised,
tbeir total membership being In ex
cess of 1200. As in tbe case of tbe
Kershaw county unit, plana art be
ing made by these county groups to
make special memberahlp drives.
It is Interesting to note that the
state organisation haa as an objective,
tbe organisation of a branch in every
county In tha state and Indications
at tola time are that tbls objeetlva
will be attained this year. As aa
evldenee of tba worth and stability
of the state body, a glanoa at tha
govarning group la moat asaurtag.
