Co., e mpiles and pub. the new city I believe both producer ana con- sumer are interested in the movement to better the milk industry and I hope that all producers in New London county will join this movement, says County Agent F. C. Warner in his re- port covering the period of six weeks since the last directors’ meeting which was held on Sept. 28 to Nov. 4. Many have already expressed the value of the Farm Bureau and it sald to the present situation and I feel that by the time this work is completed every milk producer in New London county will give his hearty support to the Farm Bureau organization. The report follows in full: Field Tests and Demonstrations Nineteen tests and demonstrations have been visited and final results ob- tained on several plots. On Sept. 26 and 30 Prof. B. J. Southwick of Storrs Experiment Station assisted in the work, - and reports that we have sev- eral of the best tests in the state. He was particularly pleased with Director B. T. Avery’s fleld corn test, Director rector C. B. Davis’ ensilag: soy_bean test. He also inspected A. A. Young’s acre of flint corn which Stood in the shock and thought it ha, the appearance of being a very heav yielding piece. Weights were takel and samples forwarded to the experi- ment station from five of these plats and the remainder will be taken care of as soon as possible so that a final report may be made covering this pro- ject. Club Work. The most important club activity during the past month was the ex- hibit made by the New London county bovs and girls' club members at the Eastern States Agricultural and In- dustrial Exposition held in Spring- field Oct. 12 to 21. New London county club members competed against boys and girls from the other New England States, New York, New Jer- Delaware and Pennsyivania. Ex- hibits were made in the potato, corn, canning, garment working, and poul- try projects, and judsing teams were entered in the corn, potato, canning and dairy judging projects. Among the prizes secured by our club mem- bers were first prize on the largest d best collection of canned fruit and vegetables by any one club member, one jar cf each variety, first and third on the best ten ears of flint corn in the exhibit and other prizes on can- ning, sow nd potatoes. The judg- ing teams also p winning sccond in the corn third in the motato project th in_the canningz.

Achievement club members in New | London have been furnished with re- port blanis and requested to mail these to the office. This was deemed necessary on account of the infantile paralysis epidemic and of the 124 members who started the season’s work Lut who received no_ supervis- fon through the summer, 25 have re- turned complete reports showing faith- fully carried out work through this As soon as all reports are in o faithful members will be re- warded achievement club medals and the work will be called complete for this season. Three canning demonstrations were given by the county agent, two at Ni- antic on Sept. 28 and 29, and one at Gilead, Waterford, Oct. 7. It is es mated that some 250 people received the benefit of these demonstrations and I find that the cold pack method of canning as advocated by the U. S. department of agriculture is becoming very senerally used by the ladies of the county. Two schools have been addressed on club work one at Newent school, Lisbon, by the county agent, Sept. 29, and at Baltic school on 23d of October, by Secretary W. O. Rog- ers, who kindly relieved the county agent on this date. National Dairy Show at Springfield. The county agent spent a_total of seven days at the Dairy Show and found that he did not begn to have time to take in all that could be seen. Considerable of his time was taken up with work on club exhibits, confer- ences and committee meetings, so that very little time could be devoted to closely inspecting the cattle, horse and machinery exhibits. A large number of New London county farmers took advantage of the opportunity offered and your county agent had the pleas- ure of closely inspecting some of the prize winning cattle with farmers fbm the county. I believe that this exposition will greatly benefit the dairy industry of New England. New London County Corn Fair, Plans are now nearly complete in regard to the New London County Corn Fair which is to be held in Town COUNTY AGENTS LATEST REPORT Tor Complete for the New London County Corn Show Next Month—Total of 157 Bulletins Have Been Distributed Since the Last Report Was Issued. and many more have decreased the size of their herds so that the quan- tity of milk produced today and the number of dairy cows in New England is very much less than it was five years ago. It has been said that farmers can- not stick togsther and consequently will not be able to secure adequate recognition; but a change has come about and the experiences of the past few months proves that the only chance a dalry farmer has today is to compbime with his fellow producers for their mutual benefit. The Milk Situation. The New London County Farm Bu- reau has been following these devel- opments in’ the milk situation but pre- vious to the middle of October no ac- tive steps had been undertaken. The first step taken by nearby producers toward bettering their condition was taken in Providence when Rhode Is- land producers shipping milk to Prov- idence got together in the early part of October and organized the Pro- ducers Cooperative Association of Rhode Island. Secretary W. O. Bog- ers and your county agent attended two of these organization meetings But no further steps were taken until requests from Preston producers came, who shipped to the same market. There requests came at a time when your county agent was devoting his entire time to other matters ro that these men were put off .with the prom- ise that assistance would be given as soon as possible. Meanwhile the sit- uation was developing in another quarter, During the week of Oct. 14, New Haven County Milk Producers Who market their milk in the city of New Haven met and decided that they should be paid at the rate of 6c per quart delivered in New Haven. Real- izing that this price could not be ob- tained until all producers shipping to this market were gotten together on an equal basis, a meeting was called for Oct. 23 and your county agent was requested by the New Haven county agent to have representatives from “olchester, and neighboring towns in the northwest part of the county at- tend this meeting to see what action could be taken. About 100 millc pri ducers attended this meetinz and all were hearf i i a loca] ven milk producel s ation it would be b - to organ- i nd a coms ppointed to look matter. Meanwhile the work nizing lccal units and zetiing producers together could be carried on informally and at this meeting your county agent s requested by milk producers in Colchester, Wes‘chester, Amsten and Hebron, Gilead and Tol- and county to assist’them in rorming their local organizaticns. This work was accomplished during that week and by Saturday night organization meetings had been held in Colchester, Hebron, North Westchester and Exe- ter at which 106 milk producers sig- nified their intention of cooperating with their fellow producers through some form of organization. These 106 men were practically the entire num- ber of milk producers, attending the meetings in a territory where there are 160 producers, showing that by far a large majority favored this movement. Meanwhile a meeting had been called by the secretary of the state board of agriculture for Wed- nesday, Nov. 1 in Hartford, of all in- terested in incorporating a Connect cut Miik Producers Association and at that time it was unanimously to form such an organization and at that time it was unanimously to form such an organization and a committee of five are at the present time drawing up articles of agreement, constitution and by laws and incorporating so that pro. ducers may receive the benefits of such an association as soon as possi- ble. Following immediately, producers from the northeast part of the coun- ty shipping milk to Boston requested assistance in their efforts to secure better prices and as most of this as- sistance was needed in Windham county and the Windham county agent was absent on leave, the state expan- sion service sent Prof. Musser into Windham county to assist the produ- cers there. Meanwhile the producers shipping to Providence were demand- ing assistance and a meeting was held Tuesday night, Oct. 31, in Preston, where it was unanimcusly voted that these producers join some association which could assist them. The latter part of last week was spent by the county agent in investigating means of securing help needed and by con- ferences at Storrs and Providence we have secured the immediate aid of the Producers’ Cooperative association of Rhode Island all New London county shippers to Providence will be given assistance by the county agent as fast as wished. North Stonington produ- cers are’ already considering a meet- ing to discuss the situation and pro- ducers in Franklin and Sprague have called a meeting for Thursday at the town kall, Baitfe, and requested the county agent to assist them in organ- izing. Milk producers around Nor- wich seeing the advantage of organiz- Hall, Norwich, Dec. 2, in cooperation with the New London County Agri- cultural Society, the New London County Pomona Grange and other contributors. At a meeting held at the ‘office on Oct. 25, Director B. T. Avery of Ledyard and Mr. A. A. Young of Jewett City assisted your county agent in drawing up a tenative pre- mium 1lst, including rules and regu- lations and other information for ex- hibitors. On the 20th of October your executive committee met and approv- ed this premium list and took such steps as were necessary to carry it to completion. The rules and regula- tions together with a corn score card have already been published in the Norwich and New London papers and the premium list giving classes and prizes will be given out as soon as the contributions have been secured. When this material is complete the whole will be printed as a leaflet and dis- tributed throughout the county. We hope that all will cooperate in this movement to improve corn in New London county, the importance of which is being particularly felt in this season of high prices. k uation. Many have followed with interest the effort on the part of farmers pro- ducing milk, ton secure a better price. Last spring the milk producers around Chicago, carried out a successful cam- paign for an increase in price. Then farmers in New York and neighboring states have been able to sell their milk at their own figure at a price which tl:% consider just and fair. The milk prdducers for the Boston market are at the present tim;worklm; for a better price, and alMost cvery dairy section has some problem to solve Milk producers have felt for a long time that it was to con- tinue longer in th less and sell milk at the prices that have prevailed for the past. ‘Consequently ‘ha the ing held a meeting last Friday and voted to start a Norwich Milk Pro- ducers’ Association and appointed a committee of three to draw up a con- stitution and by-laws as soon as pos- sible. I believe all, both producer and consumer, are interested In this move- ment to better the milk industry and I hope that all producers in New n- don county will join this movement land your county agent stands ready to assist them in any way possible. Many have already expressed the val- ue of the Farm Bareau and its aid to the present situation and I feel that by_the time this work is completed evéry milk producer in New London county will give his hearty support to_the Farm Bureau Organization.
