ORANGE COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION NOTES
Notes for Week Ending Oct. 8.

Orange county lays further claim to
being one of the most progressive coun-
ties in the state by the appointment of
Miss Mildred Duttoh, a graduate Of the
home economics department of the Uni
versity of Vermont as home demonstra-
tion agent for this county. Miss Dut-
| ton began her new work Oct. and full
schedule has already been mapped out
for her work for this month. This new
work is part of the campaign made
possible by the appropriation from Con-
gress for home demonstration work along
the lines of conservation of food. The
work taken up by the home economics
project this first season will be largely
with that end in view. With a fuller
realization of the people of the needs OF
this war and the necessity of not only
saving as large a part of the home grown
foods as possible but also the substitu
ton of new food materials in order that
those most needed by the allies can be
shipped abroad, there is special value
in having a trained home economies
worker here in the county. Miss Dutton
will try to work as far as possible with
groups of women in the various commu-
mites, as time will not permit many in
dividual calls 1t is hoped that ques-
tions along these lines will be asked by
mail when it is impossible to see her.
Her address will be Randolph, or letters
sent to the county agent will be turned
over for her to answer. All interested
in doing their bit for their country in |
this war are asked to attend the meet
ings, as they are held in the different |
communities
