The regujar programme of the afternoon consisted of short talks by various miembers of the Farm Bureau from dif- ferent” parts of the county. It was opencd by H.

He believad that if someone should be found in every town who would be willing to do spraving for the orchard- ists, it would be a great heip in the production of ‘better fruits.: Cornell Green, Jr., cf Tolland gave interesting experiences -in ‘sheep rais- ing. Spoks of the growing interests in this kind of wark, the least labor which it required in comparison with dairying, as well as the _ smallest amount. of grain. .
