WILL COOPERATE
 WITH THE FARMER

l tablish Employment Bureau to Assist in Crop Harvesting. At the meeting of the New Britain 1 food committee last night attention was directed to the fact that farmers and fruit growers are experiencing difficulty in securing help to harvest their products. To this end 1t was voted to establish an employment agency where growers can apply for boys to help them harvest. It was decided to request Dwight Skinner head of the Boy Scouts, to establish such 8 department in connection with his office in the Levine block on Main street. Here gardners or fruit growers may come and hire help. It is expected that this will help solve the labor question.
 Prof. E. o. Smith of Storrs college addressed the meeting, talking on the advisability of establishing a public market place here. Prof. Smith said that the few truck gardners here do not warrant such action and unless there is a popular clamor for public market and assurance that it will be supported he would not recommend it. The committee voted to dismiss the public market idea for the pres- ent at least.
 Reports of various committees were received and the full committee was advised to get into communication with the state and national council of defense relative to securing an adeouate supply of coal in the city. The committee on food preserving is to evolve some scheme for drying fruit practically if possible. This committee went to Storrs college to- day to look into the matter.
 H. B. Vessels of the Sunset Rock orchards company appeared before the committee and predicted a bumper peach crop. recommending a community canning plant to conserve the peach crop for the city
 At the meeting of the municipal farm committee routine reports were received and Chairman Tallard re- ported that because of the persistent attacks of the potato lice it is neces- sary to continue spraying.
