MEETING AT SToRRS.
Committee Appointed to Represent
 County Farmers Association.

At the meeting of the Windf1am County Farmers Association Monday afternoon the following committee was appointed to represent the association al a n1eetiHs-to be held at Storrs col lege, August fl, 15 and 16: w. C. Child. Woodstock Joseph Baker, North Grosvenordale; Henry Dorrance, Plainf1eld: Everett F. Brown. Pom fret. and Miss Rosamond Danielsop, Putnam.
 At the meeting at Storrs the i'm portant questions of reorganization of Farm Bureaus and Associations to make room for home economies work and other new allied departments will be discussed. The present organiza- = tfon, it Is felt, does not give sufficient r1ace to women directors, women com mittees for carrying on such work as cooperative buying and selling, pig club work, etc. Tn order that those interested throughout the state may have the opportunity to express them selves on these questions, the meeting at Storrs has been called, at which will be present representatives of Far mers' Associations, County Agents. and representatives of the United States Department of Agriculture.

to the home economies work. At present there is only about 1850 in sight, which leaves S450 to be rats- ed. The Connecticut Woman Suffrag association has offered $500 toward the work, and $750 has been pledged by the state. The towns in the coun- ty have already been canvassed and about $100 raised, with no way ap- parent of securing the remaining funds necessary. Since the pledges by the are with the understanding that the county raise enough money to total S2,000, and since this seems impossi- bie to do at present, the whole mat ter has apparently fallen through.
 Whether another attempt will be made, to raise the desired funds cannot be stated yet, but if it is undertaken, it will not be done for some time
 Reports from the towns of Putnam Chaplin, Canterbury. Pomfret, Kill fyly, Woodstock and '@hompson were read at the meeting, and while four of the towns are willing 10 go ahead it was not considered by the executive board that there was sufficient sup port shown toward the movement.
 The plan of the association was to secure the services of trained econ oncs demonstrator who would work here in the country. chiefly among the women in the homes. Her duties would include instruction in food
 
 child welfare, household ecor1or1y household management and allied sub- jects.

 New Swimming Pool d Possibility.
 If present plans are carried to com 1 pletion, the citizens of Putnam will | either by the latter part of this sum- l ner or next spring, have right here in | he city public swimming pool. Hen | " Keech, manager of the Pu' nam Box. corporation, who owns property on i he east bank of the Little river, is strongly considering the advisibility | If enlarging the swimming hole now l tnown as Tourtellottes, and fixing it | IF. so that it will be a first class place | adequate place for swimming in Put lam. Many go to Rosedale lake in | but as this is several | niles out, it necessitates some sort of ! conveyance. If Mir. Keech constructs he pool he is now considering, a long cit need will be filled.

AGAINST DEMONSTRATION. All County Towns Do Not Manifest Inclination to Hire Such Expert.

As a Desult of meeting of the executive committee of the Windl1am County Farmers Association, held Monday afternoon in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, Putnam it seems improba ble that a home econ omicS demonStrator for Windl1am county will be hired as has been hop ed for by. a large number of women interested in seeing the services of such a demonstrator secured The executive committee at the meeting voted to table the matter
 While a large number are in fa- vor of hiring demonstrator for this county, there is not sufficient sup port to warrant the Farmers associa- tion going ahead with the matter It has been estimated that at least s2- 900 must be raised before a woman can be hired who will give all her time
