Chesterfield County during the first
of the first week in October for the
purpose of studying the subjects,
Pastures" Forage Crops" "Feed-
ing Dairy Calves and Feeding Dairy
Cows"

discussion order to better adapt the
subjects to Chesterfield County and

those men will act as discussion lead
ers and the farmers will be expected

ditions. This work is adapted to prac-
tical farm conditions and is expected

, and actual demonstrations will be
carried out in each community in the
county. Such meeting was recently
held in Chester county and very
successful meeting was reported. The
farmers expressed willingness to

sented. Several requests have been
made to hold similar meetings in 9TH
er parts of that county.

which his shackles were fastened to a

is believed by the officers that he will
eventually be caught at home as he
