AFTER THE FARMERS
Caledonia County Farmers AssOcia-
tiOn to Open Campaign For
Larger Membership.

At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Caledonia County
Farmers association held at the St.
Johnsbury House yesterday plans
were made for a campaign to in
crease the membership of the or
ganization during the winter months.
While the season just closed has
brought about much benefit in the
way of corn demonstrations the as
sociation plans a greatly increased
work for the coming year and hopes
through the cooperative buying of fer
tilizers and feeds and cow testing as
sociations to be of much more SER
vice to the farmers. The association
is prosperous but wants to get more
actual farmers back of this move
ment in order to accomplish more
good.
Those present at yesterdays meet
ing were: President e. HI. Hallett,
Sec. J. w. Titcomb, Treas. +. J..
Babcock, County Agent S. N. Slim
on, F. N. Coveny of Danville, e. G..
Goodrich of Hardwick, G. H. Albee
of East Hardwick and B. M. Bundy
of Sutton. 1t was brought out at
the meeting that the receipts or the
organization had been $2,36450 and
the expenses to date $1,017.9S, but
the receipts include 900 from the
Grain Improvement Association that
will not come next year. There are
about 23 per cent of the actual farm
ers OF the county now members of
the association, but there should be
more.
1t was voted to publish a booklet
containing a list of membership, the
constitution and bylaws and a
summary of the work done by Agent
Stimson for distribution among the
members.
1t was also voted to purchase a
runabout for the use of the agent
another season it being impossible
for him to answer all his calls by
team or train. He covered over 4,300
miles on the motor cycle the past
season.
The sentiment of the committee
was strongly in favor of a mld-sum-
mer meeting another season but no
definite action was taken on the mat
fer
