Note Invited to Make Addresses
The Kent County Farm Bureau is
making big preparations for their an
nual meeting set for Friday of next
week, January 8, in the Dover Cen
tury Club Rooms. President w. V.
Cosden has appointed a number of
special committees to make all the
necessary arrangement for this meet
ing, and the officials in charge are ex-
pecting a large representation of
farmers to be present from all parts
OF the county. In all probability,
many farmers from the other two
counties will also attend, as hereto
fore the Kent County annual meet
ngs have attracted representative
farmers from all over the State. The
meeting will start promptly at 10
o'clock in the morning, at which time
the business of the organization will
be transacted. Reports will be heard
from the various communities in
which Farm Bureau activities and ex-
tension work have been conducted
during the past year. Following the
reading of the minutes of the previ-
Gus annual meeting and the reports
of the different committees, the re-
mainder of the morning session will
be devoted to reports of the agricul-
tural extension work by County Agent
Russell E. Wilson and County Club
Agent Helen l.. COmstock.
OF Interest to Farmers Wives
In addition to the program for the
men, there will be a separate session
for the women during the forenoon
when basket making and other forms
of interior household decorating will
be discussed. This part of the pro-
gram will be in charge of Miss Kath-
lyn +. Woods, State Home Demon
stration Agent, and all ladies are cor
daily invited to attend this session
and to remain for the entire program
the day. A part of the
morning will also be devoted to
business session at which time mat
ters pertaining to the newly organic
ed Kent County Home Bureau wilPbe
considered. The afternoon meeting
will likely be a combined affair as
many of the ladies will want to hear
the various talks that have been ar
ranged by the program committee.
DIR. BOmberger, Noted Worker, Invited
Efforts are being made to secure
DR.. F. B. BOmberger, Assistant Ex-
tension Director, College Park, Mary
land, as the principal speaker, and
Mr.. John D. Reynolds of Middletown,
Delaware, President of the State Farm
Bureau, will also be present to address
the meeting. Dr. Bomberger is also
a specialist in rural organization work
and in farm commodity marketing, so
his address will be we'll worth hearing
as this is perhaps the most discuss
ed subject among the farmers, thru !
out the entire country. Mr.. Reynolds |
and Mr.. Ed Willim attended the an
nual meeting of the American Farm
Bureau Federation in Chicago this
year, and both of these men will have
some very interesting and instructive |
things to bring before the meeting on
January 8. A few echoes from the
great Chicago meeting should stimu- |
late more enthusiasm among the Del !
aware farmers in the benefits of the |
Farm Bureau, and those who attend |
this meeting will have the opportunity
10 hear of these accomplishments.
