For many years this gathering has been at the local high school with a noon-time dinner. This year, McHenry FS plans its annual meeting for a 7:30 p.m. sit-down dinner at the new big exhibition building on the McHenry county fairgrounds. Because the Farm Bureau cooperative, which is owned by farmers, has a large number of customers in Walworth county, a preview annual meeting is set for 7:30 p.m. this Friday night at the Walworth county fairgrounds. Business reports, en­ tertainment, election of directors, and information on patronage dividends will be included in both sessions. Balloting for three directors will be conducted at Elkhorn on Friday night. Then the ballot box will be taken to Woodstock for the Saturday night session where those who have not voted may do so. Nominated are four men. They include John Henning, Jr., Marengo area farmer, and the three incumbents whose three-year terms as directors end: Glen Benoy, Hebron; Carroll Lohmeyer, Woodstock, Saturday While items PAY LESS - GET MORE !

Advance reservations are required for the dinner, and customers have been mailed letters insofar as possible, Stanley Steagall, general manager, reports. Since the meeting is at night no arrangements have been made to entertain children, a custom until this year. Influence of weather dominated both the company's earnings and its ability to provide the services farmers needed at critical times, Robert Gardner, president from Solon , Mills, said this week. Farmers were severely handicapped by season-long bad weather, and this was the factor which limited fertilizer spreading and delivery. In all departments except fertilizer, McHenry FS showed a sizable increase in sales and dollar volume. One major highlight of the past year was acquisition of Custom Farm service which has a plant at Huntley. For the past year, McHenry FS had a total sales volume of $36 million. Patronage refund information - - money returned to Farm Bureau member customers on the basis of purchases - will be announced at the annual meeting and checks will be distributed following the program.
