Improve Center Programs County Aim
Plan to Better
Meetings Mapped
By Farm Leaders

with projects OF the extension
service staff Of Imperial county
for the ensuing year. This article
outlines program 10 promote bet
ter farm center meetings through
the training of rural recreation
leaders.
Better farm cenler programs Is
the aim of Imperial county form
bureau leaders.
To make a better farm center
meeting, the first requisite is to
promote larger attendance. Before
larger attendance con be attained
the farm center meetings must be
made more entertaining.
Making farm Inter meetings
more entertaining is not an easy
job but the extension service, in
cooperation with farm bureau Of
ficialS, mapped program to train
leaders of the several farm cen
terS in social program making.
The project was first introduced
in 932 at the request of numerous
farm bureau members who had at
tended meetings under John Brad
ford of the National Recreation
council.
In March 932 the recreation
council was formed in Imperial
count. Since that time the council
has filled a definite place in the
farm center programs and in the
stimulation of center programs.
More than score of able leaders
have been developed under the
program and as a result the center
meetings have been much more
interesting.
There is, however, definite
need for further development and
a further INCREASE in farm center
meeting attendance.
AS a result the extension service
established four goals to be attain
ed during 1898:
| |. Assist recreation council in
setting up a long time program OF
work with suitable goals and i'm
proved procedure.
2. Stress Importance and place
of recreation in home and rural
community affairs.
3. Encourage farm center, home
department, All clubs and other
organizations to prepare plays and
related entertainment features for
for center meetings.
I 4. Encourage center directors
and club officers to create and
maintain active social or program
committees.

IRELAND'S LARGE LAKE
Lough Neagh Is Biggest in Brit

BELFAST, Ireland, Jan. 2s.-Ulster
people do not forget to remind visitors
that Lough Neagh. over which a halo
OF legend, mystery and romance ever
plays, is the largest lake in the British
Isles, or that island-studded Loush
Erne vies with Killarney in serene
and placid beauty.
The Lake of the Silent Valley"
storing over 3,ooo,OoO,ooO gallons Of
water to supply the needs of the capi-
tai city of Belfast and a chain of In
termediate towns, is now one Of the
show places of Ulster. Flanked by
heather-clad hills and sentineled BY
the towering peaks Of Mourne, it has
natural setting OF rare and restful
peace and tranquility. Here the
silence Of the solitude can almost be
felt. The water board engineers who
first planned the damming Of the little
Kilkeel River that meandered its easy
going way to the Irish Sea changed
its former name of Happy Valley to
Silent Valley.

Market To Run I'm
til End of January
or Early in Febru-
airy, Is Belief

After being suspended for the Christ
mas-New Year holidays since Decem-
Der Is, the Henderson tobacco mar
ket will resume operations on Tues
day of next week, January IL. The
market will continue until the 1897
crop has been entirely disposed of,
probably running three or four weeks,
and winding up the last of January
or early in February.
To the closing for Christmas, the
market had sold 21,652,506 pounds of
leaf for $5,65O,891.77 at an average of
$26.O9 per hundred pounds. That is
more pounds, more money and much
better average than for the entire sea-
son last year, when total sales were
21,O98,25O pounds, for $5,212,28O.90, at
an average of $24.80 per hundred
pounds
1t is generally supposed the market
will sell around 100000 pounds be-
fore the final closing date, but much
depends on how much leaf is left in
the hands of the growers.
Double sales, as usual, will continue
on the market to. the end, according to
present schedules. Size of daily sales
will depend considerably upon wealth
er conditions, which at this season
of the year are rather treacherous.
