RAPID PROGRESS OF
FARM BUREAU IDEA
Extension Service Makes Report on
Work of County Agent.

The Connecticut, Farm Bureau
Announcement. as 1t is officially en-
titled, recently issued to Directors of
Farm Bureaus in the State of Con-
necticut brings out a few very inter-
eSting facts relative to the Farm
Bureau work in this state. On March
first, New London county was the
only county organized for work in the
state. Five months later every coun-
ty in the state except Tolland had
been organized, and with the excep-
ton OF Middlesex had agents hired
and in the field. These men in a
comparatively short time have become
acquainted with their counties and
have shown actual results.
The announcement shows that they
have visited eight hundred and sew
enty four farms, written over a
thousand letters, beside circular let
tiers, addressed ninety-five meetings
with an aggregate attendance OF
over five thousand, travelled many
thousand miles. AS results, in CO.
operation with the Extension STAFF of
the Connecticut Agricultural College,
and the u. s. Dept. of Agriculture,
Improvement Associations organized
and two more in process of organiza-
/ ton; about two hundred boys and
girls clubs organized with an ag-
gregate enrolment of twenty three
hundred; and systematic farm man.
agement demonstrations on six areas
aggregating three hundred and forty
/ five farms
The work has started most auspic-
liously, especially in those sections
where directors are active. This &C.
tivity on the part of the director
seems necessary to the real success:

APPLE HARVEST NEXT.
Boxing the Finest Fruit for the Mar
.ket Recommended.

1t is now time for all to prepare for
the apple harvest which will be upon
us in a short time. Many have con-
stdered their needs and have pur-
chased their necessary supply of bar
rels, boxes and accessories. Several
growers in the county have sprayed
and cared for their fruit very carefully
and as a result have at the present
time some Of the finest fruit to be
found anywhere. Such people can
well afford to consider the advisabflity
Of boxing some of their finest apples
and developing a box market Good
standard apple boxes can be purchased
at Is and Is cents apiece. Such grow
ers should have a brand name for their
apples, and should. of course, have
their farm properly named. This
should be displayed by using stencils
on all barrels, boxes and packages sent
out from the farm which have the bet
ter grades OF fruit in them. The lea
que will be glad to assist any in de-
veloping suggestions along this line
1t is high time that apple barrels were
purchased as the harvest season is APP
preaching and the demand for barrels
Is now great.
