THE FARM ERS' CLUB.
Resume Of Work Done and Meet
ings Held During Year

'H9u Ilolu OuEln9 IcaF
The Mddlebury Farmers club or
ganzed last winter is just closing year
which seems to the members to have
gained some good results 1t has not
andi not at the present time doing the
work it should or receiving the support
that wolld make it most effective in the
community, still it has been worth while
the past year and profting by past eX-
perience should be Of more benefit to
the farmers of Mddlebury the coming
year,
During the year it has held II meet
ings, seven in the Cady district school
house; five in the Seeley district school
house and five in the Fem district school
house. There has been total attend
ance Of 693.
An interesting speaker at each meet
ing has discussed some live topic of
special interest at that season to the
farmers. These talks have received
very close attention from those present
and the benefit in an educational way
would be hard to estimate, The follow
ing speakers have given talks on these
subjects:
County Agent Carrigan, "Out-
line of County Agent Work, Glover
and Alfalfa, "Dairying," Com
munity Breeding" Lining and
Seeds, Summer Feeding and Summer
SiIo," Farm Management and Rela-
ton of Crops.
Philip Manchester "Podltry."
Professor Eddy, Milking Fertilizer
at Home. "
p, +, Crane "Sweet Clover.
j. Coryell of Extension Service, "Or-
charding, Especially Spraying,
Professor Lambert, Bacteria in
Milk" also GILES.
President Brainerd, "Weeds.
Mr.. Burdick of Burlington, "Install-
ing Water Systems" illustrated by
lantern slides,
Elmer Wright of Weybrdge, "Or-
charding."
Mr.. Leggett Of Burlington, Poultry"
Also the present milk situation has
been discussed by different members of
the club and the buying comparatively
of lime, seeds, twine and fertilizer by the
county agent
The club secured Miss Bessie Thayer
Of the Extension Service to give a talk
on "Home Economics" in the Cady
district school house last August.
The farmers bought their seed last
spring, and binding twine in the fall CO.
operatvely, saving a good many dol
lars, also ordered lime through the club,
but the lime company was unable to fill
the order. This winter they have
ordered 66 tons of chemicals, securing
C.. E. Harris to handle the order, and
have saved approximately $500 over
what it would have cost to have ordered
the same amount the old way. and paid
for it next fall. Orders are also placed
for this spring seed at saving of
about 10 per cent.
A very enjoyable picnic excursion
was held on Lake Champlain last Au-
gust. The members went to Vergennes
by automobile and chartered an ex-
cursion boat from there, taking them to
Fort Frederick, returning late in the
afternoon.
At each meeting refreshments have
been served and the meetings have
been enjoyable as well as educational.
We hope the farmers of Middlebury will
give the club good support the coming
year.
