 Drouth Problem for Dairymen.
 F E. Duffy of West Hartford, one of those on the list, did not reach the presidency of the Connecticut Dairy mems association by accident. Ills Tel low dairynen recognized 1n hlm merit of no unusual kind: merit of stead fastness of high purposes that, have led him to the achievement Of much sue cess as dairyman and farmer. The topic Mir Duffy will discuss next We'd nesday is The Drouth Problem for Dairyrnen of Connecticut. Any dairy farmer east of the Connecticut river who has suffered the terrorS Of summer droutss or fears them In the future, will prove himself negligent of his best nterests if he fails to attend this lec- ture.
 For two years MT. Duffy has been the deIeeate from the Connecticut DaIrymen's association to the Rural Progress -conv vention of the Boston Chamber of Commerce. Numerous state organizations seek his services as a speaker. His home community and the entire state is feeling the impress of his vigorous spirit

Daniels of the farm firm Daniels Bros, proprietors of Millbrook farm in Mid dletown. MT. Daniels is breeder Of Holstein cattle and firm believer that the FIolstein COW is the bread and but ter COW for the dairymen of Connectf- cut or of any other state
 No man of the present generation has done more to stimulate agriculture to greater efficiency than MT. Dan iels. The Rura! New Yorker in It's last issue says of him:
 "The agricultural expert is 8. much discussed individual just now. We are to have him in counties or districts or townships, financed and packed m all sorts of ways. They are going at it in Connecticut in a way that will get re suits. The Connecticut State Agricul- turaI society has secured the services of H. o. Daniels for expert service. Mir Dariels is known as a good farmer and dairyman. He knows how to run New England farm, he knows how to talk, and, what is better, he knows enough of human nature to make the advice fit the farmer. He has been en- gagged by the year, and there will be no charge for his services. He will not attempt to volunteer advice or tell people what they ought to do but when any Connecticut farmer asks for help MT. Daniels will give him what he can out of years of sound experience. This is first-rate work and we hope the farmers of Connecticut will help make it successful. There is no attempt to dictate to them, but square toed eff fort to give them farm advice which will rank with the opinions of 2. great lawyer if they were in legal difficult ties'
 With all his experience back of him, MT Daniels has become the first agr1-' cultural expert farm counsellor in the state, and he is preemeinently fitted to fulfil the requirements of the position
