The Farmers institute, held in
grange hall last Friday, under the
auspices of the grange proved an,
enjoyable, interesting and Instructive
affair. The attendance, thong smaller
than some had anticipated. was very,
creditable, and evidently highly
appreciated every number ON the.
program The topics treated we're
of the utmost value. not only to the
large farmer and fruit grower, but to
anyone having a small garden and
having few fruit trees. It was the
remarks of many of the ladies present,
'I would not have missed these talks
for anything. I have learned just
what I have longed to know ever
since have had a home'' Especially
was this remark made after the address
of Miss Sprague of the faculty of
Storrs college on the canning of fruits
and vegetables Men are not generally
much interested in such a subject
but as one lady said, 'My husband is
very fond of fruits and vegetables, /
but for all that he does not raise
many, but he will have to get on to
his job and raise more now. - Hadl
the ladies' husband been present bell
might have became interested in sth ell
raising of these things as we'll as in
eating them. Almost every homes
has one or more fruit bearing trees,
and if taken care of probably could |
readily be made to produce sufficient |
supply for the family's need, 80 says
Mr. HolIister Of the faculty Of Storrs
college, and professor in that college
on the pruning, planting and care of
fruit trees and vines. After hearing
Mr.. Holster speak on tree planting
and pruning and noting the demon.
