ASSOCIATION NOTES
Notes for Week Ending Nov. 10.

| Ten men brought in SO samples OF
milk, skinned milk and cream to test
at Middle Valley creamery, East Bethel
Nov. 10. Several were present and
talked over the feed question and other
problems of the farm at this time, Ono
man had by the previous test found and
stopped leak in his cream separator
which saved him the expense of several
| tests. The county agent will be at Thet-
ford academy Nov. Ia and at West New
bury creamery Nov. 10 to test for the
dairymen of these communities.
The county agent talked to the boys of
Brookfield high school one day this past
week. These boys have already picked
out their favorite breeds of dairy cattle
and have the reasons why well in mind
The future of farming community
looks bright when the boys are as inter
ested in farm problems as are those of
this school,
A QUESTIONABLE has been sent to all the
past and present members of the farm
bureau to get some definite data regard
ing the results of the past seasons work
to report in the annual report due the
L. S. department of agriculture Dec. /.
The prompt return of this will greatly
assist the county agent in making this
report. 1t also contains questions to find
out the interests of the different farmers
and suggestions for improving the work
the coming year. The farm bureau is an
organization of the farmers. Their sug-
gestions help in planning the work of the
county agent so he can best fill their
needs.
The first week in December is the date
of the extension school in Washington
From Dec. to s, demonstrations, talks
and conferences with the farmers and
their wives, with instructors from the
Vermont extension service and the coun-
ty agent and home demonstration agent

vicinity are urged to bear these dates in

liyest communities in Orange county.
