The Extension school hold at Bun
ker Hill the past week was consid-
cred very successful in every way.
/ In the first place, the new school
house with one unused room furnish
ed all that could be desired in the
way of accommodation. No pains
were spared by local people to make
everything convenient. Even the de-
mands of the inner man were cared
for by the ladies' of the Methodist
church.
Also, the speakers furnished us
were fine along their particular lines.
Only words of highest praise have
| been heard in regard to them. Their
willingness to work overtime and to
go to distant parts of the county for
extra meetings, that others might
have some of the good things, was
most commendable in them.
/ A letter from Prof. C. r. Titlow,
j, director of agricultural extension at
| Morgantown, states the following:
.'Our Instructors repoar this school
one of the best il not the very best,
| first year Extension school held in
| the state. | particularly appreciate
the fact that you had our instructors
help at meetings throughout the Vi
entity of Bunker Hill at times when
they were not engaged with the regu-
lar sessions of the Extension school.
| am always glad touhave the instruc-
tors from this department. give all
os their available time to the inter
ests of the community in which they
| are visiting"
1t is quite certain that an Extension
school will be an annual event in
Berkeley county and if some other
= section wants the privilege next year
it must get very busy and work for
it.
Although only one such school may
be obtained in the county we may get
several farmers Institutes if we de.
sire. Talk to the county agent about
one for your community next fall
Now is the time to make application
Many of the farmers clubs which
compose the County Farm Bureau
are holding special business sessions
this week to work out a definite plan
for cooperative buying. On Satur
|, day at / p. m. just before the regu
lar monthly meeting of the directors
of the bureau, representatives from
each club will meet in the Office OF
the Farm Bureau to place an order
for seeds and fertilizers. Dealers are
invited to attend and those unable to
do so are asked to submit samples
. and prices. At p. m. the directors
and others interested in the county
organization are urged to be at the
regular monthly meeting. Come and
Lhaye a part in planning and boosting
the work.
| A very pleasant and valuable meet
ing of the Falling Waters club was
held Tuesday afternoon at the home
of the secretary, J. w. Small. Impor
tant business was transacted in re
gard to club purchasing and also the
future conduct of meetings. AS sug
gestion to other farmers clubs We
would say that this organization vot
ed that the greatest success of the
work depended on taking God into
account and that, therefore. future
meetings should be opened and clos
ed with prayer. A very wise decision
to be sure, so why not other clubs
, follow suit. The agent has always
, contended that the work for better
