As of the date of this writing (May 15, 1934) 71 county Farm Bureau boards have taken favorable action—21 county organization directors have been appointed by the secretary of the Illinois Agricultural Association and approved by the County Farm Bureau boards and are, or will be, actively engaged in their duties by June 1. Probably another 15 or 20 county or- ganization directors will have been appointed and approved by the time this article goes to press.

It does not mean that the County Farm Bureau board of directors or the farm adviser is en- tirely relieved from membership re- sponsibility. It does mean, however, there will be an active directing head for organization activity within the county who will be responsible to a county organization committee and to the director of organization of the Illinois Agricultural Association.- : * ■;,,: Uniform Agreement Further progress is being made in organization affairs by an attempt by the County Farm Bureau and Illinois Agricultural Association to stand- ardize many of the activities now being carried on either directly or through subsidiary organizations. 'A master uniform agreement has been prepared, under the direction of the board of directors of Illinois Agri- cultural Association, which is being carried to all County Farm Bureau boards for consideration and approval. This agreement sets forth many of the relationships existing between the County Farm Bureau and Illinois Ag- ricultural Association, and when signed by proper officers of the Illi- nois Agricultural Association and County Farm Bureau, both parties agree to attempt to standardize ac- tivities so that such matters as the definition of "membership in good standing" and other policy matters may become more uniform between the various County Farm Bureaus of the state. ^^ After the county organization direc- tor is appointed and approved, the co- ordination of their work throughout the state will be under the direction of V. Vaniman, recently appointed di- rector of organization service of the Illinois Agricultural Association. Mr.; Vaniman will prepare a sales service sheet which will go regularly to the county organization directors. They will report to him regularly their ac-^ tivities within the county. ,:■ Under the direction of the secre- tary of the Illinois Agricultural As- sociation, a new record system is be-- ing worked out whereby the member- ship standing of each Farm Bureau member can be more quickly and ac- curately traced, either from the office of the Illinois Agricultural Associa- tion or County Farm Bureau. ^' At date of writing, approximately 75 counties have taken favorable ac- tion approving the agreement. We expect to make it 100 per cent by July 1. Consider Sovtean Problem i A recent meeting was held in the I. A. A. offices at the call of John W.
