The uwni of agritulture and how this may accomplished under the !llrnu.n ot the ew London County Improvement league was ably discussed by several prominent speak- ers at the meeting of the Norwich Business Men’s as8sociation in Buck- ingham Memorial on Thursday even- ing. The meeting was the last of the season before the coming fall. Four- teen towns in the county were repre- sented in the good sized gathering and much enthusiasm was shown by all. While the hall was filling an orchestra of four pieces led by John M. Swahn rendered a concert programme and cigars were passed around during the evening. President Branche Spoke. Shortly after 8 o'clock the assem- blage was called to order by H. R. Branche, president of the Norwich as- sociation, and the reading of the sec- retary’'s report was waived. President Branche then made a few opening re- marks as follows: Farming today is a business—and nothing else. It is as much a business as merchandising er manufacturing— and a little bigger business than either. It takes business methods and accu- rate accounts, must be kept of the en- tire season’s programme from the time the corn is planted, through the sea- son, until it is harvested and fed ta the pigs, and the pigs in turn loaded into the cars and shipped to market. The successful farmer systematizes his work much as the man in the big city office. He keeps an account of the cost of raw materials, of the cost of labor, of overhead expense, as well as working out the most economical method of marketing and distribution. The farmer has adopted the city sys- tem in his work, but he retains one great advantage over his urban broth- er. He works out of doors and breathes pure, wholesome air all the day. For modern conveniences, the city home has very little on the farmhouse these days. Farming is our biggest business today—and the farmer can well be proud of his profession. County Agent Lincoln. The first speaker introduced by Pres- ident Branche was Murray D. Lincoln, county agent, who gave an excellent account of some of the problems which the New London County Improvement league has to deal with. The league is now on its féet, said Mr. Lincoln, and is golng along fairly well. th the population increasing as it is, it is of the utmost importance that we begin to look to the farm. The work of the County Improvement league which was organized last April has been divided into several lines, among which are federation of agricul- ture, organization of buying and sell- ing agencies, actual demonstration of farm methods, and the giving of per- sonal advice. Another line of this work is the im- proving of the dairy farm. Very few cows in the state pay. It has been found by experts that cows not giving at least 6,000 pounds of milk per year do not pay their way. The buying and selling agencies are of much importance. Farmers can save considerable by getting together when buying farm machinery, tools, ete. By helping the farmer to success the business man is in the end bene- for the extra money will be spent in the sto Mr. Lincoln said it was his aim not to reorganize entirely the farmers’ business methods, but rather to help him along the lines which the farmer thinks will be of the greatest benefit to him. One thing that the farmer needs i= an accounting system. Mr. Lincoin said he has established 2 number of demonstration plots in the county, by which he shows the farmer the advisability of using his methods. 3 In regard to giving personal advice to farmers, Mr. Lincoln said he is willing to give advice to anyoae, whether they are members of the league or not, and if there are any questions which he is unable to an- swer he will call upon othér experts who will be able to answer them to the There is local interest in the an- nouncement that Harvard has confer- the degree of doctor of divinity upo;n‘hbendmm W.
