Members of New London County lm= provement League and Farm Bu- feau, Ladies and Geutieme: It mives me great pleasure at this time to present t6 you the fourth an- nual report of the president of this organization. Immediately upon en- tering upon the duties of president, the New Englana Milk Producers As- =ociation asked the assistance of the Firm Bureau in re-organising a new associationi to replace the one already in_existence which help was gladly given, and a_committée was appoint- ed to go to Poston to attend a meet- ing for the purPose of temporary Of- ganization of the New Kngland Milk Producers Association with very sat- isfactory results. Upon our return we were occupied with the forming of severa) locals in the different town: of the county, after which these locals met and elected a county chairman to represent them in Boston to perfect permanent organization which was affected. The next work of the Farm Bureau was to take up the different projects, namely dairy, poultry and boys’ and gmirls’ club work and later home econ: ice and cow testing, all of which will be given in detail later by the different Farm Bureau work- ing staff. Interesting and Instructive. The work of the Farm Bureau has been very interesting and instruct to your president, having attended the meetings of the directors and ecutive committee, the convention at Storrs Agricultural College, _which was most_interesting and much good accomplished. Home economics com- mittees have been formed in nearly all the towns of the ocounty with chairmen and administrative boards whom I hope are here today to assist in the election of officers and direc- ters and the revision of our constitu- tion and by-laws, which is to be done at this meeting: also to change the name of this organization from New fondon County Improvement League to the New London County Farm Bu- reau ,if possible, to obtain the neces- sary two-thirds vote of all the mem- bers of this organization, either in person or by proxy, so that this and al) of the similar organizations in the state may have the name of Farm Bureau. The past vear _alternate meetings of the directors have beén held in New London and Norwich, thus accommodating those from the north and south ends of the count In nearly all the towns of the county directors-have been chosen who, I kope, will be ratified by this mesting.

Both the morning and evening services were well attended. A feature of the service was the singing of the massed choir. All of the former members of the choir who were ahle sang with the regular choir during the musical part of the service. The_Taftville Congragational church was, organized Dec.-3, 1867, with a membership of elever. At the close of the Civil war, in 1865, there was, in the present limits of the village. only one building, an old farm houss, standing nearly on the site now occu- pied by the house at No 4 Providence street, and facing that_ street. In March, 1866, Messrs. K. P. Taft & Co.. of Providence, R. I, who had become owners of the real estate and water privilege began to build the'dam and mill. During that svmmer a large boarding house was erected &t the west end of the old farm house for the ac- commodation of the workmen. As the number of restdents increased a de- sire was expressed for religious ser- vices on the Babbath. _Accordingly, on Sunday, July 8, 1865, Rev. John C. Edgar, wito was then pastor of the Union' Congregational church at - ville (now Versailles) by the request of the Christian people in the village, came and preached in this new bulld- ing—the first floor of which was used as a dining hall. The congregation consisted of ten persons. The num. Dber increased to about fifty during the winter, while the services were grat- tuitously continued by Rev. J, C. Edgar and clergymen of different fe- nominations in town, until March, 18 when Rev. W. A.
