COUNTY BUREAUS
 WORK IN INTEREST OF GENERAL PUBLIC
State Leader Davis Says People Have Only Begun to Learn How to Use Them-Source of Help to Youthful War Workers.

"The people of Connecticut have County Farm Bureaus" says I. G. Davis, state leader of county agents, in discussing the work of the county organizations in connection with the coming campaign to raise $50,000 for the support of this work during the coming year. Contrary to general con ception the County Farm Bureau does not exist simply for the purpose of as sistfng the farmer and no one else. It works for the manufacturer, the busi ness man, the factory man, and the public in general. Every person who is benefited by better and more plen- tiful food supply in the state of Con- necticut is benefited by the work of the farm bureau, according to MT. Davis,
 In carrying out the work of conser- vation and production delegated to it by the United States Food Administra- ton and the Connecticut State Council of Defense, the County Farm Bureau organization of the state employs thirty-fve highly trained specialists who spend their entire time upon this work. These people are available al any time to any one who needs assist ance upon the problems of production and conservation.
 Every boy and. girl in the state of Connecticut who is willing to do part in the war work by assisting with the food problem will find the farm bureau a source of help. If they wish to keep a backyard pig the farm bu- reau will help them find it, show them how to build house for it, and teach them the best way to feed it. If they have a backyard garden the farm bu- reau stands ready to see that they get proper instruction if any question comes up with which they are not familiar. No matter what activity in the way of production and conserva- tion they may decide to follow out, the farm bureau is there to help. It has experts on gardening, on livestock, on poultry, canning, drying and home economics work. It plans this year to supervise the activities of at least 50,o00 boys and girls.
 In addition to what it is prepared to do for the boys and girls, it is ready to give demonstrations in canning and food conservation to 100000 house wives, It is prepared to organize con- munity canning centers, community kitchens and other conservation activi- ties along community lines.
 The farm bureau also stands ready to assist the farmer towards better organization and better production methods. It stands for the proposition that a profitable agriculture is the basis of an icreased food production and is working towards this end.
 taThe farm bureau is workig for every resident of Connecticut" says MT. Davis, land for that reason every person in Connecticut should sup port It."
