farm bureau will begin a caTnr
for 100 members in this town. T

States which exceeds in the nuN
of members the Hartford collrH
reau and the farmers and pe0G
Plainville who are interested in
culture are asked to aid the
ford county bureau to gain first VT
The bureau has asked the 4
chants and manufacturers of H
Vile TO raise 500 among themselves
and the greater part of this sum ia
already been contributed The dues
in the organization are one dolfa1
per year. If the objective of TO
new members is gained, the burea
will receive approximately $500 froI
this town. The mem bcrship in PlainN
vile at the present time is in the
neighbOrhood of 90 men, bers This is
