Mr. Brown explained the projects of the Hartford County League and told how they have become more profitable and enjoyable to the farmers. He had several charts on exhibition. Mr. Brown urged the local farmers'to con- duct their farms on a more scientific basis. He also advised co-operation in growing and marketing crops. This he said would be an advantage to the farmers and the consumers would be able to secure the products at reduced prices. He also praised the women’s and children’s clubs which were or- ganized about the state for the con- servation of food. Col. Jarvis also spoke briefly ex- plaining what the league should do during the coming year in assisting the farmers to secure larger and bet- i ter crops and using all available land. Campaign to Close.
