 Crop Production Project
 The outstanding piece of work under this heading during the past year was the potato demonstrations In these demonstrations the objective was to obtain a comparison in the yield of certified seed over the home grown seed. At least a peek of seed was distributed in every town in the County where an individual would agree to plant it opposite the home grown seed and care for it in suen manner that figures could be obtain ed. The average increase in yield Of the certified seed over the home grown seed in the demonstrations that were dug was 1923 bushels per acre. marketable potatoes.
 The publicity in regard te the po- tato demonstration at the fairs and in the papers undoubtedly helped the demand for certified seed. This pub licity was responsible for a large amount of the Northern seed coming into this county.
 The pasture demonstration of

 The following is a brief statement about some of the miscellaneous piee- es of work.
 Poultry Houses-During the past

which there are nine, well distr put. ed over the county are what might be considered foundation work in che care of the pasture crop. In three instances they have influenced men to fertilize a larger area.
 The demonstrations on the farms of Chapman, pomfret. Spaldine. Hampton; and Mara. NHndham. show definite results.
 The white clover that came ia and Che lateness in which Che crop was still green tae SPaiding demou- stratioH is pl5a of the effectiveness ef the aeid.
 Livestock Project
 Since the \. E. Nj. P. A. Is the or. ganization that bargains for the price of most of the milk produced iH this section and influences the price on all New England milk. an effort has been made Co cooperate with this organization.
 Cooperation in connection with lo- cal meetings of the N E. M. P. A. was also rendered. Milk records were distributed from the office Three men were started on record keep work in October. Recently the dairy committee held a conference and de- cided on Better Sire Campaig1" to be preceded by a survey. A county dairy institute has been agreed upon by the N E Nj. P. 4. It's committee to confer with the Farmers Association dairy commit tee.
 You will remember that the Field Trip was divided into three parts Dairy. poultry and fruit
 The dairy part consisted of iads ing demonstration and q chance to observe production records tackled up in front of each individual at the Child's farm in Woodstock This re- quired q good deal of preparation and proved a worthy dairy effort.
 The Guernsey cattle field trip was, undoubtedly, one of the most instrue- tive trips held since its organization.
 The institute at South Nindham which was primarily a dairy institute was well attended. there being about sixty present Co enjoy the program
 Poultry
 The most outstanding piece of poultry work during the past year was the organization of the Eastern Connecticut Poultry Producers. The. What this organization is doing is illustrated by the exhibits

in the other room. Considering the fact that it is a new business t has done admirably well l. is nothing more than consolidation of the mar keting end of the poultry business a thing that has occurred in other businesses for many years and in large proportions.
 Five poultry clubs have been main tained during the past year and the number of hens represented by the members is about 25.000. Et can be said that the care and management of these hens has been influenced hy the poultry club work during the past year.
 Ninety-one poultry calendars were distributed in the county during the past year. These calendars with their practical reading matter have. undoubtedly, helped the poultrymen who have secured them.
 Two selection of breeders demon strations were held outside of poul- try work; one in KiIlinrly and one in Scotland There were fifteen in attendance at each Of these demons strations and they showed a decided interest
 The county agent ealled seven dif- ferent focks in the county, handling l.2a0 birds.
 One egE grading and candling de moHstration was held ct Kingsley Browns, Nindham There were thirty-five in attendance This was a very practical meeting for the stock holders ef the Eastern Connecticut Poultry Producers, Inc.
 The white diarrhea testing and flock certiheation work will he taken care of for those who have made ap- plication. This eertification work should interest more poultrymen in the county. It helps bring about sources of good breeding stock
 Fruit
 The outstanding piece of work was the organization of the Quinebaug Valley Fruit Growers Association the activities of which will be describ- ed in detail by Mir. Buell.. president of the organization.
 It is not only safe but conservative to say that 5000 barrels of better apples were grown in Windham County this year.
 More men put on more sprays than ever before
 May orchard management demon stration. Woodstock. Niaety-iive per cent grade \ fruit was produced. There was q 30 per cent increase in yield on the check spot where ferti- lixer was used as against no ferti- llzation.
 This demonstration was visited by the four hundred and fifty people that made up the party on the summer feid trip.
 It. unquestionably, influenced a large number of those present in the production of better quality fruit.
 The exhibition of boxed fruit at the Woodstock and Brooklyn Fairs demonstrated Co both the consumer and producer the possibilities in this section of producing and thereby hav- ing available for consumption quality fruit in the desired packages.

TWO STEPS COMPLETED

The Association of Commerce in the very short period
of it's existence already is nearing completion of two of the
panks in the A. of c. platform suggested by the member
ship when the first big organization meeting he'd 1t
has laid the foundation for two bands in Bismarck and for
the formation central registration bureau for social
service work Both of these projects suggested by the
membership important considerations of the club.
No forward step in community development could
be made than in LAYING firm foundation for the develop
of permanent musical organizations for Bismarck,
which has been done through intensive work the part or
A. committees and the directors and executive officer
The central registration bureau should not only be profitable
from the standpoint of community welfare but should be
economical in that duplication in charitable efforts will be
avoided and the energy and gifts of local people to this end
will go directly the People of Bismarck doubtless
will welcome the plan of community chest which is part
the plan but which is to be provided in drive carried
out later.
The organization of real estate the reorganization
of the Fresan circuit and other activities of the
new club assure city that real accomplishment bt

club particularly pleased the cooperation shown by
all citizens and any of divided sentiment in the
