Today marks the beginning of the
agricultural survey. The association
has made out a comprehensive list Of
questions that will reveal the exact
economic status of each farm, togeth-
er with what has been done and indi-
cation of what can be done. The AS

to get in agricultural expert into the

ganize all the farmers in cooperative
efforts. We are convinced that the
agricultural output of this County
can be doubled in short time. and
this will mean the doubling of the
prosperity of the citizens of the Coun
ty all along the line.
The Association has just received a
most encouraging letter from f. II.

be undertaken in the most positive
fashion and pledges his loyal support.
This is the kind Of spirit that will
make all things possible. On every

with enthusiasm.
Arrangements have been made to
hold big mass meeting in Dorset,
Monday night, August 18th. There
will be good music and Mr.. Scheuerle
will tell about the work to be under
taken in the various villages and in
the County as whole. The purpose
of this meeting will be to organize a
local village Improvement associ.
alton. II is hoped that every village
in the County will soon have a local
auxiliary organization, with which the
Bennington County Vermont Improve.

which will cooperate with the Coun.
