 Organization was begun May 7th at a meeting held in Hicks memorial school to which all children in town, ten years old or over, were brought. The speakers! present to explain the movement and stimulate enthusiasm were Messrs. Clifford and Sheldon of the Holland County Farm Bureau, and Miss Bolan of Storrs. Supervisor Lord and B. Case, chairman of the local committed, were also present and spoke. As a result of this meeting seventy eight enrollment cards, out of possible one hundred and two, were signed. At the present time the ma jority of the pupils have begun their work. The enrolment of three schools was found to be 100 per cent. namely, Cedar Swamp, Snipsic, and Seven and Nine. The enrollment for the entire town is 77 per cent. Of the various food, producing activities which haVe thus been undertaken by the boys and girls of Holland it is interesting to note that thirty seven have home gardens, fourteen are rais- ing poultry, fourteen girls and one boy are undertaking canning, four boys and two girls are each raising one half acre of potatoes, eleven boys and girls have each one-half acre of corn, eight boys and five girls are each raising calf, six girls and two boys are each raising pig, three boys have each 8 sheep, two girls are studying home economics. The fact that the parents must sign the card with their children, thus giving the work their approval and encourage ment makes the prospect for results quite encouraging. Messrs. Lord, sheldon and Case expect to visit and inspect the work of these enthusiastic young food army fighters at various times during the season. It is felt that some real. tangible and valuable results in the way of food production are going to be secured. to say nothing of the benefit of the work to the boys and girls themselves. During the summer half day weekly session of the Holland schools ia to be held with voluntary attendance. At this session xho warinua mar nCkvikf0a Of kha Dunils
