bard is undeniably right. A great

the most provoking things in the

peevishness both in the wearer and

BALDWIN TREES
FAIL TO SURVIVE
Winter Killed in Some Sections of
Windham County-Increase in Farm
Bureau Membership.

A variety of Farm Bureau activities
are outlined in County Agent Arthur W.
Sweeton IS weekly report to the county
agent leader, dated May 81. He says:
Three men have been in for farm
jobs this week. Placed two in Rock
ingham and Westminster. The other
fellow didn It want job. There is
some call for the boys from Camp Vail.
There are many calls for good seed
corn and there has been plenty availa-
BILE. Much corn has been planted and
crops are looking fine.
The Pig club is nearly completed and
applications are all in. Eighty-five
have pigs so far and about Is more who
have applied have not secured their pigs
as yet. Forty-fve of these S5 pigs were
shipped in from outside the state.
Mr.. Hayward has been cooperating
with Supt. Moffitt and Supt. Whitney.
Gardening and garden troubles are be-
ing discussed before the large number
of children who are enrolled in the gar
den clubs. The work seems to be very
satisfactory and should be helpful to
the garden club members in many ways.
In many sections Baldwin apple
trees have winter killed quite badly. In
some sections mature trees have been
affected in this way. This, apparently,
| is due to the extreme cold winter.
We have just completed survey of
| the wheat acreage in Windham county
as compared with that of 1917. In
quiries were sent to all of the 40 Farm
Bureau town directors and reports have
been received from about 80. A sum
mary of these reports shows that the
acreage last year was about IS acres
and that the acreage of spring and
winter wheat this year is very close
to 700 acres. This is a good increase
! and it is encouraging to know that g
| large proportion of those raising it are
raising small pieces for their own use
with probably ninetenths of this in one
or two-acre lots.
