Workers Hope to Go Over she Top in
 Drive For 1900 Members.

Plans are being rapidly material fzed for the Holland County Farm Bu- reau membership campaign which is to be carried out as state wide pro ject by the Connecticut Council of De- fense. Holland County Farm Bureau is fapidly getting. the organization completed in order to carry out their part of this campaign. The directors of the bureau met at the police court
 room, Memorial hall. Rockville, re- gently. The meeting was called to or der by President Charles A. Thomp- son, who outlined the plan which was brought up before the council of de- fense in the early part Of sne month. In view of the fact that the Farm Bu- reau is being carried out by all classes Of people, either On the farm or liy- ing in the city. and that its conser-
 vation projects are being carried out among all people of the common wealth, and is considered as the rep
 resentative of the state council of de- | fense and the federal food administra
 tion assuming responsibility for pro duction and conservation in each county its welfare, therefore, vitally
 affects both men and women in the
 county, and it is desired to give ev-
 eryone an opportunity to become a member of this organization and help out in the important work which it 1 is doing The county agent reported that he had arranged in each town with the town committee of the farm bureau for a complete organization that would include every farmer in the town. This organization, however. did not include people living in the larger centers, and in these places it was desired to leave the organization | ar1- sr1 tfn af he
 of the town, and of the war bureau in that town. It was voted that the publicity committee should assist In every way possible in placing the bus mess in details before the public. Il is hoped to get at least 800 new mem bers for the Holland County Farm Blu lreau, as it will need this number iI lorder to insure the satisfactory con- itinuation of the work for another year There are comparatively recent mat ters in which the farm bureau has
 proven its worth, in the corn show land the food fair, both of which were icounty wide in their scope.
 Il The valuable work of the corn show is manifesting itself in the collection
 of seed corn which is going on in the county, and which will prove not only of value in rounding up seed corn. tC be shipped away, but will enable To. lcal farmers to know the quality O
 their own seed and to obtain seet which gives satisfactory germination
 provided they have not an adequatt supply of their own. The production , of more cor min the, county will be O
 value in not only to the farmers, bu
 to every consumer, as it will not onl, ltend to increase this particular crop
 but will have tendency to materially increase all kinds of live stock, ana
 this means more food from our owl : Immediate ; locality Arrangements
 have been made by the council of de lfense to have four minute speaker,
 place matters in relation to the farm
 bureau before the public at all tn , moving picture houses in Connecticut ; ;. Holland county hopes to go over< tn
 top with its full quota
