The following program - was arranged by this comfnittee: Fruit project Brassil. Cooperative buying in charge of Geo. Kahn, 3. Lime and clover project in charge of F- §. Armstrong. The progress of the ecooperative buying project _has' already been mentioned m connection with the development of eo- operative buyihg in Bozrah, as the Frank- lin and Bozrah farmers are working to- gether on this proposition. Will Brassil. has already made arrangements for e fruit demonstration: erchards, one’ on the farm of the Frink Bros., and oneon the farm of Gilbert Daniels. The orchard on the Frink Bros.' farm is a very young one, while that on Gilbert Danlels’ farm be- tween 20 and 30 years-old. This will! give an opportunity for studies with a middle-aged: orchard. A pruning demon- stration -has been held by the farm bu reau in both places. .. Plans are under way for a farm burean institute’ to ‘be held at Yantic some time this winter. A. W.

Whit- ham in-Groton, during the middle of No/] vember. - This mefting ‘attended ‘by about.a dozém people,-and ® at-that- time the pullets ' which it ‘wouid not pay to keep over winter were.thrown out to'be disposed of as meat. Some miscellaneous work has been done by the farm bureau ‘in this vicinity, such as furnishing infor- mation in regard to construction of poul- try houses and seeing that one: or two mer were supplied with milk sheets in order that they, could keep an accurate record’ of produeuon of their cows. " Lebanen Durins the ' past .winter an extension school .of four.days was held -in. Lebanon. at which time the extension specialist from the college talked on different: sub- Jects of interest tofthe, farm men.and wo- men. During ‘the early part of November a farm- bureau meeting was held at the town hall in Lebanon ,at which - time co- operative: buying was discussed. At the close of the mesting a. committee with Ed Hoxie as chairman, was appointed to look into the ‘proposition, and if advis: able to obtain subscriptions for -stock for the cooperative exchange. To date $1809 has been raised by this committes apd about. 20 or 30 mien yet yemain to be in- terviewed. ' It has been: tentatively de- cided that the organization meeting will be hefd on the afternoon of January Jth. At ‘the meeting. of "the Goshen tom- munity club held’ the early part of the year a committee was appointed to work up a definite programme of farm ~bureau work. This .committee met and ‘lined up the following projects: 2 in _charge of B W. .1 Fruit project 3’ Lime az\d cflver )rojm hehqm of E. H. McCall; 4 Co-operative; buyin: # ln charge of George Griggs: T In carrying out the fruit project E. W.

Elmer Geer has plans under way foisecure as'many men as possiblé to keep registered bulls and to-join the “Better Sire—Better” Stock” camnaign which has been running for a Httle better tham a year throughott the United States. E. H, McCall plans for a lime and. clover dem- onstration 0. nhis_farm. A- sample of, the soil has been taken from the demonstra- tién plot and analyzed at the Experi- ment Station at New Haven. ’ This sample showed a lime requiremént of 4550 Ibs. ground lime stone per acre.. If possible one or more carioads of lime will also be lined up to be shipped in during the winter or early spring. A lime demonstration which was put in last spring on the farm of C. J. Abell, showed gome 'interesting results. On this lime demomstration there were different plots on which.different amounts of lime were used. On the first plot where one ton per acre was used a yield of 2481 Ibs of hay were secured; on the second plot, where 1200 lbs. per acre was used a yield of hay was 2240 Ibs.; on the third plot, ‘where no lime was used the yield of hay was 1895 Ibs.; while on the faurth plot, where two tons of lime-were used per acre, the yield of hay was 3333 Ibs. Ledyard 7 In Ledyard a culling demonstration was 'held at the farm of B. T. §. Cran- dall, during the middle of November. At this, demonstration a number of peonle. brought in from one-half to a dozen pul~ lets each, to-be handled . by Professor Jones, ‘and all of the pullets that were not worth keeping during -the . winter were culled out frem these different lots. Considerable assistance has been given through the farm burean to'different fruit men in this town. .On ome man's farm it was discovered that he was hav- ing. considerable trouble with brown rot. and information was furnished him, =0 that he could ‘get rid ‘of this disease another vear. Plans'for the managemen: of ,a_young orchard were. drawn up with l.nother man. - While_ in’ still’ another in- stance a man. was asgisted in:securine some suitable varieties of bush fruits. The principal farm burean werk done in Lisbon this past year has been in_the nature ' of cosperative buving.. A farm bureau mesting was held 1y in the fall. al whish time Mr, Monroc,’the marketing specialist from -the college, discussed the yalue of cooperative buying with the farmers of this lecality. At that time a comrmittes was agpoined to canvass the town to - determine. the sentiment of farmers towaird’ cocperattve buying. The comenitise “ With' James Grakam,' as chairman, put in ,censtderable time in securing the names. of about 20 farmers. Who would be interested in the organiza- tion of a cooperative exchange. Owing to ‘the small number of, farmers in.
