MUCH WORK DONE BY FARM BUREAU

Directors and members from all sec- tions of the county will gather in Nor wich today (Saturday) for the annual meeting of the New London County Im- provement Society. The annual meeting will be held at the Community House on Church street, with morning and after noon sessions and with luncheon at noon.
 The reports of the various officers and committees. election of officers and sev- eral addresses feature the programme.
 County Agents Report
 Following is the report which County Agent H. F. Johnson will make: Organization Work
 During the past seven months farm bureau meetiRgs have been he'd in 13 different towns. and in seven. of these towns definite program of work lined up. The results of this organization work, so that local people are taking an active interest in the farm bureau. and not only an active interest, but actually accomplishing things, maybe summed up as follows Out of IT culling demonstra- tions for poultry held during the past three months, local farm bureau directors and committeeman have arranged for IF with the county agent only being obliged to arrange for the other five. Twenty-siS i poultry calendars have been placed by {, farm bureau poultry committeeman which is just 26 more than would have 1 been placed if none of the communities had lined up their programms. | A 31-ton car of lime has already beer ordered for Salem. because local commit ] teemen had taken hold of this proposition by making plans early in the summer fo the men of this community to use son lime Fruit committeeman have alread'

 county was seo.90. The second cars c |

feed was bought on lower market. and was sold at s45.50 to the members when the average price was s50.40. The next car was sold to the members at S54 and the average retail price at $e0 and or
 ely a car of middlings was sold to the members at S44 when the average retail price was $50. These four cars of a total of 120 tons of grain, represented a saving exactly S565 over the average retail quotations of this county. and the grain has been bought at anything but a favorable time. With the, rising market any exchange would show as great saving if not greater. A number Of other things might be given in connection with different community organizations of the farm bureau. but these few things give us au idea of what can be actually accomp- lished If the men and women of any com munity wish to do something for them selves.
 A few of the miscellaneous things which might be mentioned are as follows Five registered bulls and registered | females were placed through the farm | bureau. A registered Berkshire boar was also placed as the result of an advertise rlent in the Farm Bureau News.

usually cool weather, and the vacationer
is confronted with the problem Of what
to take for wrap that will not occupy
much room. saw the answer to that
problem today in the form of jersey

as suit coat, and worn with a light
skirt or dress are very smart. They
sell for S10-which is less than half
their usual price.

Lonesome Bear jumped to his feet and

Lonesome Bear trotted along with
his nose and his eyes UP in the air in

usual way Of hunting, and he went sc
