EFFORTS BEING MADE
 TO IMPROVE REDUCTION
Demonstrations Brought to Attention Of Farmers Through Field Meetings.


 . One of the big activities of the New London County Farm Bureau is the effort being r1ade to improve cro1 IirCduction and soil fertility so that the farmers of the county may raise more of the crops consufned on the farm thus reducing the grain bills a1id making the farmer not o-ly less de- pendent on the Western grain sections, but also reduce to a minimum his de- pendence on commercial fertilizer sources.
 In order to accomplish these results demonstrations if1 growing of field crops in the Inanagement of the farm operations and in crop rotations de- signed to improve soil eeIfditisns. Such successful demonstrations are Brought to the attention Of the farm &rs of the county through field meet lsrgs, lectures, and general ptfbifcity. The picture above shows a group of New London County farmers and their wives at such a field meeting which was held on the farm of N P. Whiting

 Every New. London County farm should have two sources of income, the main source being known as the pririary and the secondary sources. including all of the smaller items bringing in an income The primary source of income on the average farm is dairy in some form, either milk and dairy products or stock. This stock should be the proper breeer and production to meet the local condi- tions. Secondary sources of income include garden crops, rotatoes, pigs, poultry and orchard on the average farm.
 Tn order to feed the cattle most econ ornically the average farm should pro- duce plenty of good corn silage with soy beans to increase. the protein con-
 tent and clover hay for rOughage.
 Some corn should be raised for grain
 as well as other small grain including oats. Garden crops may include beans,

 One or two American posters were added. the best known of which is the Bashfield one of the two coin like heads.
 Most of these on exhibition were in color and are very attractive and sat- isfying to the eye.
 After viewing these posters, one has some conception of what these nations have been going through in the way of suspense and suffering and anxiety. It brings it home as nothing else does. H is so very human and convincing and it makes us realize what super human efforts they have put forth and what cheerful sacrifices they have made. Somehow it brings them much nearer to us and the efforts we must make to help them seem more like eff forts for our brothers. It makes duty seem love to us and we feel more than ever our kfnship to them. Those who fail to see this exhibition are missing something and it seems as if those who have boys in the service would be especially interested in it. The exhibition is open afternoons and ev enings' during the entire week.

NOTEWORTHY EXHIBITION
 OF WAR POSTERS
Valuable Collection Viewed by Mem-
 bers-of Art Students Association.

At the monthly meeting of the Nor
 wich Art Students association, held
 in Slater hall, Monday evening, Miss Lucas. vice president, presiding in the
 absence of the president, Mrs. Birge
 the regular reports were presented.
 Mrs. Anna w. Porter and Mrs. c. E. Stillman were elected associate mem = bers. The resignations of Mrs. Eng fish of Youngstown, Ohio, and Mrs. Edson Gallaudet' were accepted.
 Miss Theodora MeCurdy reported that final arrangements have been
 made for the adoption of three French orphans for two years, two of them
 children of French artists.
 It was voted that the Norwich Art
 Students association join the auxiliary committee of Friends of France and
 Friends of Art for a period of five
 years. E The meeting adjourned to the Con
 verse Art gallery to view the exhibi- tion of War Posters. Refreshments were served by members Of the house committee.
 The exhibition was in charge of Miss Rose TrunnbuH, Miss Anna Ely, Miss Theodora McCusdy, Miss Ada Watrous, Mrs. Guy Eastman.
 The exhibition of Posters is a very noteworthy one. Loaned by the own CT, Martin c: Brainard, who is now training at Plattsburg. this collec- tion fs valued at $1.26g and is of the Or1glnaI prints. Most of them are French, and English and Canadian. There are. however, one or two Bel gian and Italian copies.
 The French posters differ from the English in that while the French are mainly appeals for aid for the sol diers. their widows and orphans, the English are generally spea king all calls for volunteers. The reason is of course we'll known. that the French immediately went into service on the entrance of their country into war; while the English depended mainly on recruiting their army by volunteers. For this reason the posters show a eeided difference from the artistic standpoint, the French being decided ly more beautiful, but the English, perhaps being more foreefud and putt ting their appea. over. more direct ly. Many of the French are really beau tiful, notably a very tyricaI one of 8 radiant girl in fetching gown and bonnet asking for aid for the wound ed. dead and nnutiiated.

An enthusiastic crowd of workers assembled at the Y. M. c. A. Monday evening to listen to and make reports of tho results of the first days cam paign for funds for the Y. M. c. A. war work. The reports made Monday night totaled 175 subscriptions for $2,- 152.S5.
 The spirit manifested was encourag- ing and indicated determination to win in the battle for funds with which to maintain a home for Our brave sol- diers away from home in the large camps in America and overseas.

 His Honor Mayor Allyn l.. Brown presided and called on Charles L. Stewart, who made a very interesting address on the war work and the claim it had for hearty support of the citi- zens of Norwich, and he urged the cutting into the principal. MT. Stewart was loudly applauded.

beets, turnips and cabbage and ns@s- gels and small grains may be raised for the poultry. In planting the farm rotations and crops to be produced on the different lots, first matter of i'm portance is the source of plant food which on the average farm is barn yard manure. On a farm recently visited by the county agent at least one-half of the value of the manure
 was being lost to improper housing facility. This is a matter of utmost importance, especially considering the high cost and scarcity Of commexcial fertilizer. Good clover sod may also be plowed under improving soil cot1di- lions and making, it possible to pro duce better crops with tess manure Every New London county farmer should plan carefully just what crops should be raised to best advantages on each field and in such quantity as to product the amount desired we'll in advance of the planting season He should keep a farm account and place the entire business on a basis similar to that in. use in other lines Of in dustry. The farm is simply a factory for the production of food stuffs and should be conducted on q par with oth- CT industries.
