State Board of Agriculture, and Dean
George L. Schuster, director of the
Delaware agricultural extension SER
vice.
Meetings of this type are becoming
more popular among farmers. as they
feel that considerably more infor-
nation can be obtained from such
discussions than from meetings at
which speeches are given, as those
who attend discussion groups have
the opportunity to talk over their
farm problems with each other and
with specialists. Those fruit grow
ers who cannot be present for the
supper may come in afterward and
take part in the discussion.
