SERVICE TO DIVIDE s21,1
Farm Bureau Association Heads Con.
fer ON Ways and Means.

Burlington, Aug. IA unanimous
resolution that Director Thomas Brad
lee of the agricultural extension SER
vice and his associates make survey
of Vermont and determine the way the
State should be districted and the fund
of S21,10 available under the special
food production. conservation and sur
vey bill of Congress distributed was
passed at a conference between the
service and presidents and other MEM
beers OF farm bureau associations at
the New Sherwood Saturday after
noon. The fund may be used at the
services discretion. Dean j. L. Hills
and Mr.. Bradlee represented the State
University College of Agriculture.
Commissioner of Agriculture E. s.
Brightm of st. Adams took part in
the discussion which preceded the
resolution.
Dean Hills opened the conference
with an explanation of the bill. The
bulk of the fund, he said, was distrib-
uted among the great cereal growing
States Of the Union like Iowa, Illi-
nois, etc. He said privately that of
the $21,100 which came to Vermont
$4,000 was for county agent work, ST.
100 for work in home economics, the
plan being to have home economics
demonstration agents: and $4,000 for
boys and girls project work. Ex-
penditure of the third item was not
discussed.
Mr.. Bradlee dwelt in more detail on
plans for the expenditure of the fund
in Vermont. He said with the sum
at hand each of the IL counties which
have county agents-Lamoille rs in
cluded from July l, though it has no
agent as yet-about $3.50 would be
apportioned to each county. Grand
Isle and Essex counties will also bene-
At. however. from the fund. Each
county would be expected to raise a
certain amount of extra money to be
added to its share of the government
fund. If six districts were the appor-
tionment each new man employed as
assistant to the county agent could
have 1900. Another districting sug-
gested had been a division of the
State into four parts with headquar-
tiers in this city, Randolph, Rutland
and st. Johnsbury. Dean Hills and
he believed the Central Vermont and
Rutland railroads-this was in an
swer to a question from Mr.. Bradlee-
would give the new aids free trans
portation as they already did cetrain
officials of the extension service and
county agents. Mr.. Bradlee said the
new men would assist county agents
and like them would be men of train
ing and experience. He suggested
that any extra funds that counties
might raise for their support be raised
by means of the farm bureau asso-
Citations, and other means like those
already used.
Other suggestions made were re-
,garding the cooperative buying of
feed for cows. the selection of proper
corn seed. etc. Several expressed the
view that the money should not be
spent hurriedly. Among the other
speakers were c. J. Wright of Willis
ton, ]. A. Leach of Bennington coun-
ty, E. v. Bicknell of Orange county,
c. A. Badger of Washington county,
H. C. Cleveland of Orleans county. w
