When organization comes, leaders will
develop. Boys will not stay on the
farm until places of honor are open to
them as we'll as others. The future OF
the N. f. NJ. p A. is in the hands OF
the locals and Mr.. Adams urged all
to join their town organization and
stick by it.
Hugh j. Hughes, director of the state
department of agriculture of Mime
sofa, was introduced and, after ex-
changing greeting told of his being in
the east to study markets and of the

singing, conducted by Frederic NJ. Bell
of Burlington, with Dr. Foster at the
piano, was a pleasing feature, and the
songs and up-to-date popular songs as
well, under his able leadership, were
sung with much power. Dinner, served
by the ladies' aid, was certainly ap-

hour was well advanced toward late
afternoon Dairymen here learned to
respect Mr. -Pattee's Judgment and to
his power through the n. f.
VI. p. A. and his words we're closely fol-
lowed. The distribution of the pro
