WHITMAN Reelected President At the second anpual meeting of the New London County Improvement league which was held here on Satur- day afternoon in the town hall, with an attendance of about 100 when it was called to order about 115 by the president. C. D. Whitman of Water- ford, the following were the officers electeq after the usual annual reports had been heard: President, C. D. Whitford, Water- ford, first vice president, John E. Vaughn, Norwich; second vice presi. dent, J. P. Avery, North Stonington: treasurer, Charles’ I Smith, Norwich secretary, E. C. Jewett, ~Norwich; executive committee, C. D. Whitman, Waterford; W. O.

Directors for Lyme, East Lyme and Old Lyme were not elected but it was voted that they are to be elected by the directors at their next meeting. In his_report, which was the second annual, Treasurer Charles L. Smith em- phasized the need of a continued cam- paign for membership, though through nation, state and county, the league now has the benefit of the appropri- ation from the federal Smith-Leever bili and the $2,000 from the state and county. This guarantees the league's backing as far as the finances are con- cerned for this vear, but the continued success of our organization will be shaped only through a grehter num- ber of interested members. Let me explain why this is especially so in our case, he said The law is so worded by which we receive our state and county aid that we only get an amount from each equal to the total received from mem- berships in our own organization with a maximum appropriation by them of the thousand dollars each. Your executive committee are thoughtfully considering every item of the current years disbursements but you can easily see it will need the 1 incessant boosting of every loyal mem- ber to bring in_the memberships $1, 35 and $10, and upward to get the maximum appropriation of $2,000 in October of next vear. Every farmer who is able, although possibly not needing the agent's ser- vices. should contribute his member- hip, as many do, thereby showing his loyal support to a movement which is working out the general good of his community. Also_every person who has been helped should hand out un- solicited at least an active member- ship to the cause. The annual report of the treasurer showed the following: Receipts. Balance from 1914, $16.85; from Con- necticut Agricultural college towards agent’s salary, $666.62; Connecticut Agricultural_college for signs used by them, $10; U. S. Agricultural depart ment, $300; state of Connecticu®, $1,000; New London county, $1,000; dues, ‘etc., $1,136; discount, $1.12; to- tal, $4,430.60. Expenditures.

Secretary’s Report. In his report Secretary E. C. Jewett noted the healthy growth of the move- ment not only in New London county, but throughout the entire state in which New London county was the first in Connecticut to take up this work, giving just cause to extend to the loyal citizens who met in this hall less than two years ago to organize and to those who have assisted in the movement since that time most hearty appreciation. Raising Funds. In my last vear's report, said the secretary, 1 recommended that suit- able legislation be enacted to raise funds for our work through county and state appropriations and our presi- dent with Director C. P. Bushnell and myself were appointed a_committee to attend to that matter. With much valuable assistance from our _state leader, H. J. Baker and Judge Wallis, our director from Colchester, we hand- ed the_proposed act to our senator, Judge J. H. Barnes, early in January, Who presented it to the legislature, which body approved the movement by passing the bill. ‘The secretary mentioned the resig- nation of former County Agents Mur- ray D. Lincoln, who had been succeed- ed by the present county agent, Fred C. Warner, a graduate of Massachu- sétts Agricultural college, who has done very commendable work. He also commended_the work of President Whitman, Treasurer Smith and the directors. ‘The secretary called attention to the sreat need of a monthly bulletin being issued free to members. Many of the farm bureaus are publishing such a bulletin, such a bulletin as is_issued by the Franklin county farm bureau. Agent.Wamer Outlines Plans for Future. COUNTY LEAGU Improvement League in Its Whitman Reelected—County It contains subjects of vital interest to the farmer and is worth while from cover to cover, including a list of all breeders of registered livestock and a Farmers' Exchange. The first of the year H. J. Baker took up the work of organizing Farm- ers’ leagues in the other seven counties of the state and to say that he has been hustling is putting it mildly, for he now has active burcaus in all the countfes but Tolland. It is indeed pleasing to note that Preston is to have the first extension school in the state, the same to be held early in January. The extension service of the Agricuitural college will also given seven other schools this winter. The Long Society Community club of Pres- ton has also called on Agent Warner for a course of stereopticon lectures, the first of which has already been given by A. J. Brundage, state leader of Boys' and Girls' club work, and it is work and enthupsiasm like this that counts. Secretary Jewett called attention to the first annual conference on county farm bureau work and county league work, state of Connecticut, to be held in New Haven, December 8th, Sth and 10th and said that all that can should attend on the 8th, when some of the best authorities in the United States who have studied cooperation abroad will be heard from. I should like to see this conference held in our own county and will recommend to you, said the secretary, that we at this time extend an invitation to the state lead~ er to hold the next annual conference with us. County Milk Station. Norwich Chamber of Commerce, which brought about this very impor- tant and constructive work recently appointed five bureaus of 15 members each, electing me chairman of their Agricultural bureau and we have voted to lend every possible aid to this movement and will this very evening hold a meeting to listen to a work- ing proposition for a milk station for Norwich. This is a matter which our improvement league has been consid- ering for some time and if conditions warrant the establishment of such a station no doubt the Chamber of Commerce will assist the league to ob- tain it. Why Not Raise More Corn? I want to see our 81 entry corn fair of this vear increased to ten times that number next year and believe it can be done. Why not raise nine mil- lion bushels of corn in Connecticut in- stead of three million bushels? Why should we import corn from the Ar- gentine Republic? “It is being done at this very time! 1 would suggest that the County Fair association hold their annual corn show on the first Saturday of December, 1916, in this town hall, the same to be held in con- nection with our annual meeting. An- other example of cooperation. Cooperation the Thina. Today group after group, industry after industry, are working together in a cooperative way, concluded Sec- retary Jewett. Cooperative fruit grow- ers are organfzed to encourage the production of a better variety, and grade, and to sort and market all that come up to a certain standard, co- operative zrain, potato, and tobacco warehouses, to store, grade and sell these * commodities, co-operative milk, butter and cheese factories, to mal grade, and sell dairy products, coopera- tive cow-testing associations to weed out poor cows and thus to make or in- crease profits; cooperative cattle breeding associations to improve the grade and increase the productivity and it is a foregone conclusion that the farmer that becomes interested in the above that becomes identified with the movement, is bound to make his acres produce more, will have better surroundings, will have more of the comforts of life, und at the same time be_more prosperous. Friends, it is most gratifying to see the farmer and business men getting together: it is a convincing sign that the dividing line between towns and country is becoming an imaginary one. In the past when our attention has been called to a strinkingly prosperous town, it has always been attributed to a factory or railroad connection rath- er than to dairy herds and broad acres. Occasionally bright instances stand out like guide-posts along an unfre- quented way, leads us to hope that in the tomorrow that will soon be now, the prosperity of our cities will be at- tributed to a good farming country and the cooperation of the town and country business men. In closing, I want to impress upon your mind the fact that there is work ahead and that while we may seem to have accomplished much, we have only begun to build, the foundation is bare- ly iaid. Cooperation must be foremost in our minds. Call on your agent for assistance, do not wait for him to look you up. And if there are any here Who are not members of the New Lon- don County Improvement league, now is the time to become a member of this great movement. Remember, our aim is to unite all organizations and in- dividuals, farmers, and business men into a county league of community building. County Agent's Repert. In the annual report by County Agent F. C. Warner, one of the inter- esting things mentioned in it were his conclusions upon what had been learn- ed and what the plans for the future were. He covered these points as follows I think that one of the most im portant facts brought out is that mem. bers of our league and the public in general are not well enough informed in regard to the work from day to day and what he is trying to accomplish, but of lines of work which the league might carry out successfully if prop- erly organized. Since the 26th of June I have each week furnished every di- rector of the league with a report of the past week’s work and an outline of the work ahead. They are in a bet- ter position than I to tell the advan- tages of such information and whether it would be practical ta furnish every member a monthly bulletin such as many of the best pieces of work we could undertake. Another item that we need is more united efforts along certain definite lines which should be decided on at the beginning of the year and enough of the agent's time apportioned to in- sure the success of each project. Should Keep Farm Accounts, I have already mentioned the farm management survey, but did not em- phasize its importance in getting farm- ers to keep farm accounts whereby they will know the actual cost of pro- ducing farm produce and so be in a position to demand a price which will net them a profit. In the same con- nection demonstrations should be ar- ranged to show how conditions o fpro- duction may be improved. 1 have reached the conclusion that the hay crop should receive the first atten- tion and so propose to have demon- strations the coming year in suitable places throughout the county to show the increased yleld to be obtained by top-dressing grass land that is in suit- able condition and also to show how Jand may de put in condition to raise &00d hay especiaily clover hay. There arc enough alfalfa pleces started in the county to demonstrate its growth in aifferent localities and I shall not recommend starting any more untll these plots show that conditions war- rant growing more alfalfa for hay. Better Corn Yield. The next important work to be cov- ered by demonstrations should be along the lines of improving the corn yield. This should be so carried out as to show the advantage of having £00d seed, covering selection, care and germination tests, and proper methods of cuitivation. This might be carried out by a corn club for grown-ups. I also believe it would be advisable to try out different varieties in an effort to find out which partic- ular variety will give the largest yield in any one section. In comnection with the corn fair I found a large number of farms where the corn was already in the bin in damp, poor condition and on inquiry found that next vear's seed would be selected from what was left in the bin at planting time. Improve Milk Conditions. In connection with the dairy im- proment_projects we are working on a New England wide effort to improve the conditions under which milk is transported and marketed, including the abalishment of the leased car sys- tem of transportation and the estab- lishment of milk collecting and dis- tributing stations similar to those al- ready in operation in New York, Penn- sylvania, Maryland and the greater part of Canada. The existing condi- tion of the milk industry in New Eng- iand as found by the Itural com- mittee of the Boston C! iber of Com- meice and their recommendations for improving the same are embodied in a report, copies of which may be ob- tained at the league office by all in- terested in this subject which means 50 much to the prosperity of New Lon- don county. Secured Extension School. We have secured an agricultural ex- tension school, the first one of its Kind to be held in the state of Con- necticut, to be held in Preston City, Jan. 4 to 7, inclusive. This school of- fers four day courses in soils and crop rotations, dairying, poultry and home economics and is open to every resi- dent of the county. Preston will wel- come all who can attend. We expect word at any time from the Connecti cut Dairymen’s assoclation in answer to our invitation to hold a dairy in- stitute at the Norwich state hospital on Dec. 9. Need of Cooperation. There is just one thing needed to make all this work a success and that is cooperation. We need the help of each and every member of the league along the lines suggested in this re- port to put farming conditions where they belong, which will mean more income for the producer and lower prices for the consumer. Windham county farmers stand ready to cooper- ate on the milk situation and it was only Thursday last that I received word that our neighbors on the east in Washington county, Rhode Island, want to help on the same problem. Let us do our part. Work Accomplished. On the work that had been done during the year County Agent Warner reported that he had assisted the farm management demonstrator for the state in making a farm survey of 70 farms tn Lebanon in order to find out just what the farmers are receiving for their labor. It has been found that there are certain factors which great influence the income of a farm. Thes are size of business, quality of bus- iness and organized diversity of busi- ness. The survey shows that the 11 best farms had six more cows, 10 acres more of crops, and two more sources of income than the average farm; that crop yields especially ha and corn should be near that the quality of cows are poor on most of the farms the average re- ceipts per cow being only $84 while nine farms average $116 and one farm- er received $151 from every cow in the barn. A ‘meeting was held in every town in which 10 or more men were inter- ested to explain methods of handling chemicals, price, etc., and the result of these meetings is shown in the fact that 12 carloads of chemicals and 7 carloads of agricuitural lime involving the sum of $3,000 were brought into the county. Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs. May 'w the organization National Achievement club of New London with an enrollment of 110 boys and girl This project was the first in the state to give the city boy and girl a chance to belong to agri- cultural club and is designed to be carried on at the home of the club member even If there is only a back- yard available. The gardens consisted of plots 10 feet square and the little farmers had a choice between raising corn, potatoes and tomatoes. Thirty six actually got started of which num- ber 31 completed their work and were awarded merit buttons at the club which was held Oct. 11. ides this club work Boys' and Agric ural clubs have been d on successfully throughout the county the past summer with clubs in Lebanon, Colchester, Hadlyme, Lyme, East Lyme and Jewett City, having a total enrollment of 389 members. Most of this work is now complete, but final awards have not been made. During the summer 17 communities asked for and received canning dem- onstrations which reached a total of 2,500 people besides those who attend- ed the canning demonstrations given at_the Norwich fair. Besides the cooperative buying of fertilizers and lime, several orders for high grade seeds were placed and the league acted as an exchange for sev eral of the members. Culture for in- oculating alfalfa seed and other leagues was secured for a dozen farm- ers and numerous other items such as_bulletins, dairy record sheets, and information of all kinds have been se- cured for those requesting the same. Wide Range of Activity. During the year the county agent visited 620 farmers on their farms, wrote 1,947 letters in answer to in- of the quiries and in regard to league work besides about 3,000 circular letters sent out on specific work, furnished 135 newspaper articles on agricultural sub- jects to the newspapers, 266 persons called at the office for information along agricultural lines and 300 such calls came in by phone. One hundred and one meetings were addressed by the county agent who was able to reach some 7,200 people in this way. These figures do not include the num ber who were reached through the Norwlich fair and merely show the vol- ume of business carried on. When the reports had been con- cluded, President Whitman gave an instructive talk upon constructive farming, speaking upon five topics, bees, chickens, pigs, cows and the church. State Leader H. J. Baker of Storrs spoke in an encouraging way, giving a summary of the work in the state since March 1st in the organization of county leagues. Now there are seven but al that time there were only three counties that had county agents. C. D. Willard of Greenfield, secre- tary of the Franklin county league in Massachusetts, wkich is new this year, was next introduced. He is looked up- on as having accomplished the most in the time of any county agent in New England. In describing how success had been achieved he spoke of hay demonstra- tion plots where top dressing had been applied that would catch one’s eye The ™ P A GIFT FOR ALL THE FAMILY--A Columbia Grafonola Jewel—this Columbia Instru- ment and 12 selections for— $38.90 Remember—only a small initial payment is required —the balance in easy pay- ments. 6l-teous & You can have a Colum- bia Christmas Grafonola Outfit sent to your home— or anywhere you say—and on Christmas morning if you wish, for only a small initial payment.

Henry Potvin, Frederick Potvin, 46, and Alphege Potvin, 23, three of six men who made trouble on a Norwich- Willimantic trolley car at Occum switch late Sunday afternoon, were gathered in by Constable Gus Lambert at Taftville singlehanded and brought to police headquarters by the constable in his auto. They were locked up in cells and their cases will come up be- fore the city court this (Monday) morning. . The men boarded one of the two cars due at Taftville at 5.15 and im- mediately started to make trouble. Their talk was anything but edifying and the conductor tried to remonstrate BORN MARTHUR—In Jewett City, Dec. 1915, a daughter, Leotta ‘Alicon, 4 to Mr. and Mrs. James McArthur, with them, but they persisted in their insulting = remarks and . rowdyism When the Occum switch was reached they were requested to leave the car. They refused, and the conductor called on the motorman to help him. The odds were too great, however, and the crew of the forward car, with the help of several passengers, ‘attempted te efect the disturbers. A general fight ensued and in spite of all the insults the crews handled the men as gently as possible. No rough methods were used, and although the six put up a stubborn fight they were finally put off the car. Constable Lambert had been notified by the nisht starter at the Greeneville barn, J. J. Shea, and he hurried to the scene in his auto. He succeeded in collaring three of the men and placed them under arrest. Constable Lambert says that Henry Potvin, one of the trio, has served time for cutting up a couple of Willimantic policemen sev- eral years ago. Potvin got away from Willimantic _at that time, but was nabbed by Constable Lambert soon afterwards. MARRIED KNOUSE—_BIRRACREE —In Norwich Dec. 4, 1915, by Rev. J_ H. Broderic Frederick V. R.
