Lrranged for each meeting by the
resident and Secretary OF each club

lexibe and should include every
hing in which the club members
night feel an interest. Reports by
lub members on the res-.ts OF their .
lanting work will always be OF In r.
crest at every meeting and will be a
ruitful source OF discussion. A very i
lteresting feature perhaps. would be 4
alks by local farmers Ia which they
'ould give the results OF their life I

re would be correspondence through 2
