Organizing Community Club.

Last Saturday G. F.. Marsh,
B. S. A. County Agent met about
twenty-five representative farmers of
the vicinity of Lewisville, who were
interested in forming community
club. Those present were very en-
thusiastic over the advantages to be
obtained from the formation of such
a club and a temporary organization
was formed with Mr.. ]. D. McCauley
as president and Mr.. Ferguson as
secretary. A meeting will be called
in few weeks at time when Mr.
Preston, County Agent, of Chester
County, Pa, can attend to form a
permanent organization. From the
spirited manner in which those pres
ent took part in the discussion on
lime, alfalfa and silos, this club
promises to be one of the most sue
cessful in the district as they have
plenty of good material among them
selves to lead in discussions and it
will not be necessary to have out
side speakers to assist in this work.
