ANNUAL MEETING IN DECEMBER

Pursuant to a motion carried at the
last meeting of the New Castle County
Farm Bureau Executive Committee,
namely, that the annual farm bureau
membership fee be changed from 50 cts
per individual to $1.0O per family, and
as this change necessitates amending
the constitution and bylaws and to
obviate CONNECTION of business at the
annual farm bureau meeting which will
be held in december, President Frank
Yearsley was authorized to call q pre-
liminary meeting of the New Castle
County Farm Bureau to be held at the
Hotel Nobis, 8O2 Market St., Whining
ton, at 10 o'clock, to-day Saturday.
November l.
The change of membership fee has
become necessary to secure funds to
supplant those which were curtailed
due to the cessation of the war emer-
gency funds. The following budget
has been approved by the Executive
Committee and will be presented at this
preliminary meeting:
Farm Bureau portion of steno-
grapher's salary, s24O; telephone and
kilograms, $l2O; printing, SIS; station
cry, $25; office supplies, $40; postage,
$50; Exhibits and premiums, Corn
shows, Fairs and Club work, $25;
special meetings, etc., $50; rent of halls
for meetings, $25; Executive Committee
travel, $50; total. $3.50.
In order that the county program OF
work might come directly from the
farmers. the plan was approved that
the program of work committees should
comprise every community committee
man. During this meeting at stated
hour the committee representing the
various lines of work will adjourn for
an hour to adjoining rooms and formu-
late their part of the program of work
and report back to the meeting.
The luncheon hour will be social
occasion followed by an informal dis
cussion Of the farm bureau member
ship campaign which will be conducted
in the fourteen communities OF the
county during the month of November.
If the farm budget is to be reached
and if membership is to be secured
which will insure the farm bureaus
program of work reaching the great
mass of farmers over the county, ar
animated membership campaign in each
community is imperative.
1t is hoped that every member of the
New Castle County Farm Bureau be
present, but it is essential that every
community committeeman attend this
meeting.

prizes in each case are to be awarded
to flocks of 100 hens or more and other
prizes to focks of so hens or more.
The awards are to be based on the egg
yields, net profits and the general care
and management of the flock.
In. awarding the prizes large flocks
will be given consideration over small
flocks. For example, a flock OF 100
hens making 100 points will be rated
the same as 200 hens making SO points,
or 300 hens making 81 points. and So on
up to 1000 hens making 80 points"
All farmers are invited to enter the
contest. Poultry keeping is one of the
most important branches Of Agriculture
in Delaware, and it is believed that
there will be many entries. A compe-
tent poultry man will visit the contest
ants from time to time and will take
careful note of the condition of the
flocks and their surroundings and will
make suggestions of how the manage
ment may be improved.

RED CROSS CAMPAIGN

Delaware Chapter Of the Red Cross,
as an initial step in the Red Cross pub
lie health peace program, is conducting
a health campaign from October .25th
to November Is, with special appeal
to the women and girls of Delaware.
DR.. Edith Rabe, of the United States
Public Health Service, will be the cam
paign lecturer. She will speak in the
towns of lower Delaware during the
after part of the campaign. DR.. Rabe
will appeal to the women and girls to
take an interest in bettering the health
conditions in their own communities.
Wherever moving picture equipment
is available, the health film, The End
of the Road" will be shown as an
accompaniment to the lectures.
Individual clubs of the Delaware
State Federation of Women's Clubs
have been asked to cooperate in this
special campaign which is in charge of
the Bureau of Hygiene of Delaware
Chapter. In proportion to their size,
many Delaware towns have rivalIed
Wilmington in Red Cross work. The
lubwomen of the State should receive
a large share of the credit for this
activity.
More Americans were killed by dis
ease than by fighting during the war
year of 1918, according to government
statistics. The Red Cross will cam
paign for healthy America and Della
ware will take leading part as she has
in other Red Cross Campaigns.
