Warner the activities of the year in rehensive report which was s’ follows: Dairy Improvement. As a result of dairy farming dem- onstrations conducted on seven farms, twenty-one men have been assisted in keeping accounts, 159 samples of rnilk and cream have been tested for but- terfat, between 30 and 40 have been helped with their dairy rations, and 21 with their crop retations. Assist- nce has been given in securing pure tred bulls and blood samples were taken from one herd in an effort to eradicate contagious abortion. AN but one of the original co-operators have been given further assistance, Marketing: . During the year, forty-four days of the county agent’s time have been de- voted to this important project which is so vital to profitable farming. Pub- lic wholesale and retail markets in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and thre Market News Service, as main- tained the Bureau of Markets have been investigated and application made for the introduction into New London county next season of the crop reporting service. ssistance has been given the mar- kcting committee for the Providence market in their efforts to-secure a satisfactory price for milk. The mat- ter of price-fixing is now in the hands of the regional milk commission of the federal food administration who have set the price to consumers for the month of November at 16 1-2 cents per.quart and to the producers 9 3-4 cents at the market. ; Recently milk producers marketing their milk in New London county have been notified by the U. S. Public Ifleallh Service that cn and after Jan. 1, 1919, their milk will have to be ma lieted in one of three grades—certi- fied, grade A raw, or pasteurized. T farm bureau has been of great ass! ance in helping the producers meet the tuation. Committees have been or- anized, investigations made, trips of nspectign condueted to milk plants al- ready in operation, forms of organi- zation recommended and the informa- tion presenteéd to the producers. This has resulied in steps being taken to organize cooperative plants in Nor- wich and New London and pledges for about $40,000 worth of stock have been secured. Swine Work, All are familiar with the’ success of the Pershing Pig Club of New ILon- don county. Last spring, boys and irls started out to raise pork for Un- Sam’'s army. Each had a pig, one being donated by Mrs. Willis Austin of Norwich, and six had pure bred Berkshire sows to be raised and bred to supply more pigs next year. Each ciub member was given one-haif vound of Dwarf Essex rape seed by i the W, E. Barrett Company of Provi- dence, R. I, and all followed instrne- tions carefully throughout the sum- {mer, each being personally visited at | least six times during the four months’ contest. At the county fair, thirteen of the pigs were on' exhibit, in com- petition for the $25 offered by the ag- ricultural society. Seven of the prize winnerg were sent to the state fair at Berlin, in competition with the best from the other county for the state prizes offered by the Sperry & Barmes Company of New Haven. One proved to be the best registered sow under six months of age in the state: an- cther the best over six months of age and the other five took first as the best groun of five, all breeds, tynes and ages competing. The judging and demonstration team also’ won third place. Altogether this club won $73.75 in prizes, and produced 1:76 rounds of pork valued at $1037.90 at a net profit of $288.10. Besides the plg club work, the farm. bureau also sssisted in the transfer of 57 pigs within the county and put the authoritfes at New London ' in Miss A Mrs. Mrs. covered a com- in part touch with the extension swine spc- cialist which resulted in the bringing in of a carload of pigs to the munici- pal piggery.

Farmers having early maturing varieties to sell were put in touch with those wishing to buy, and besides transfers which were made diractly i ¥, 27 bushels of No. 1 seed were ‘secured for farmers by the coun- y agent. Assistance was given Farm Bureau Treasurer Charles K. Hagberg, who supervised the home gorden work in Norwich during the summer, by judg- ing plots competing for prizes. Mr. Hagberg reports that the 235 gardens under his supervision produced $35.- 000 worth of produce. s Fairs. One. of the most imporiant pieces of work carried out by the farm bu- reau has been the exhibits and dem- onstrations at fairs. These include the county corn fair, the county ag- ricultural fair, and the North Ston- ington Grange Fair, reaching a_total of, 13,000 people. At the county fair exhibits covered , Swine, poultry, garden, food conservation, and child welfare Work, and demonstrations were conducted in cheese making, canning, cooking, milk testing and stock judging. Extension Schools. A four-day school in agriculture, at- tended by 75, was held at Norwich . Courses were given in dairy, furm crops, and poultry, with good results. Poultry Improvement. . In order to eliminate the slacket hen, “eight demonstratiohs were ar- ranged and the poultry specialist \of the Connecticut Agricultural College showed 91 people owning 2883 hens. the characteristics which indicate the non-layer enabling them to cull out their own flock. At these demonstra- tions 1290 hirds were handled of which 891 were retained and 399 were rejected. The 891 laid 461 eggs the week previous to the culling while they laid 406 eggs the week follow- ing.. As a result of these dvmonstra- tions, expenses were reduced 21 per cent. at the cost of 12 per cent. of the income. In. this connection, it is interesting to note that a red on of 42 per cent. was made by similar demonstrations last year and that fig- ures obtained from the work throngh- out the state this year show that hens in New London county iaid 33 per cent. more eggs. than the st rage before the culling and maintained 4 lead of 15 per cent. after being cul out 31 per cent, while the ave flock was reduced 39 pet cent. Fertilizers. As an emergency theasure last spring, the U. S, sovernment offered nitrate of soda to farmers at cost, th same to be purchased through the county agents. Thirteen farmers in New London county took advantage of the opportunity and secured i tons at an approximate saving af § from the market price. - Farm Machinery. In order to familiarize farmers with the different types of tractors, two tractor-demonstrations were arrangeid. At one twenty-five farmers saw iwo types in action and at the demon- stration held at the county fair, four types- were shown in action during tlie three days. Five tractors have Leen purchased and several others have thie matter under consideration. | Sheen. Interest in sheep raising ing and assistance has bee increas- given farmers in securing stocik. total of 78 having begn placed. One fiald-day was held, at which 100 farmers heard instructive talks by promi t sheep- men and assistance was given grow- ers in disposing of their wool under zovernment control. The meeting .closed with five prac- tical talks that were fuil of valuable information and advice, County Agent Leadeh Richard Dodge of Storrs spoke upon @arm Bureau Work, and was followed. by Miss M. E. Sprague, also of Storrs, home economics rector for Connecticut. who spoke up- on The Present Needs of T'ood Con- servation. NMrs. Zoe Meade, who hax just come to“this city to be home decon- stration agent with the New London County Farm Bureau, mave a short talk along the lines of ‘her work, making a very favorable impression at her first appearance before a wich audience. One thing she empha- sized was that there should be no great rush, now that tae war is over, to desert she wartime cookery that we have learned to use, for much of it the foods w2 were using in pre. rfir times. At anv rate, she said. the tr¥h- ition back should be fradual for sud- den changes might bring on derange- ments in heaith. William P. Davis of Doston, assist- ant manager of the New Ingiand milk producers’ association, was the last speaker. Hea gave a very instructive talk upon Dairving in New Englandfl ITALIANS HEAR A SERMON IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE In spite of icy walks Sunday morn- ing, over one hundred Italian Cath- olic men of Norwich, with quite’ as many women and children, attended high mass in St. Patrick’s church, both in commemoration of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary and to give public thanks to God for Italy’s glorious part in the great victory. - Special pews at the epistle side of the nave were reserved for. the men, the women and children having pews on the gogpel side. The Dbad weather interfered to a degree with the plans for the day, as it was nearly impossible for the fine looking body of men to have their formal march up to the church, since the band had difficulty in playing un- der such circumstances; but they per- severingly made the best of it, and before time for the service the band members, in their handsome military uniforms, gathered .at the main en trance to the church grounds, playing a number of patriotic and Italian se- lections in an inspiring manner. After the mass the band again played sev- eral airs, the congre®ation assembling numbers to hear and enjoy the ‘music. During the recent war activi- ties the Italian band has done much valuable work which has been greatly appreciated, and all were glad of an opportunity of hearing them, now that their music has the new note of vic- tory and thanksgiving. The beautiful auditory of the church was fully -lighted for the service, and vestments and altar hangings were of white, because of the feast. was sung by Rev. Myles P. Galvin, and the r was Rev. Peter J. Cuny; but following the mass the rec. tor, Rev. John H. Broderick, met per- sonally and welcomed a number of the visitors, and in his sermon in English Father Cuny expressed the dssurance to the attentive body of earnest men that it ‘was their church as well as the church of every other nationality, and that every person present was in full accord with the noble purpose of those who in this public manner had gath ered to do honer to the Mother o Christ, as well as {o render thanks to for Italy’s valor and success. e enistle of the Sunday was Prov. has indeed been healthier for us than | The mass ; Fat?

Farrell sang the beautiful composition so well adapted to the feast, Franz Abt's Ave Maria, a melodious tribute to. the Im- maculate Mother, in which Mrs Far- rell’s voice was hegrd to the best ad- vantage, sweei and clear and flexible. Following his regular sermon in English, Father -Cuny addressed the Itaiians in their own tongue. A native of New Haven, Father Cuny‘concluded his course by studying for three years at. the Seminary of Piacenza, Italy, where he was ordained. He referred to the unity of Americans and Italians in celebration of the day and of vic- tory, recalled the glorious fact thatthe flags of Italy and America had led the winning forces at the Austrian front in gaining the Unredeemed Land, and declared it a gooa sign that the war has ended with men of all nationalities in this country united as Americans under the American flag. He said all should be proud to be- come American citizens and advocated their mingling with their American neighbors, all in one great nation. Good advice was given them as_to regular attendance at holy mass and frequent reception of the sacraments. As the congregation left the church Organist Frank L. Farrell's recessional was a medley of Italian airs. Arrangements for the day were made by .Joseph Tomaina, Rocco Barbetta, Dominic Maiorano and Prof. Joseph Bergamuzo, the last named leader of the band.
