The next regular meeting of Low ell Grange Will be held Tuesday eve ning, the 17th. It is desired that the members make a special effort to be present as it is the last meeting of the year. .The Community Plan of Work. The following article is from the last number of . the Orleans County Farm Bureau News - - : . A farmer said to the county agent the other day, "I wish we might do something in my town. It seems dead at this end of the county." The county agent explained to him how several communities were working out their problems, with each man of the community committee looking out for some special line of work. The idea appealed to this man. "I would like to see something worked out for . a local livestock shipping organiza tion," he said. "Lots of stock for sale and look at the prices we get. We ought to do something about keeping better accounts of our milk costs, too," he added. Two piaees of work suggested by that one man! As soon as the epidemic is over a meet ing is to be called in that locality to talk over the situation, place a com munity committee in charge of the work the farmers want-to see done and then go ahead and do it. Wheth er it's a livestock ' shipping associa tion, a cooperative laundry, or keep ing milk cost accounts, so long as it is a community problem, it remains to be solved. And that is where the Agricultural -Association plans to put all its effort from now on find out the problem of' each community and then work through a committee to solve those problems. It doesn't mean that the man that doesn't be lieve it pays to keep a purebred bull will be forced to keep one; and the woman who doesn't believe in fireless cookers won't have to make one. Such people as these will soon see that it does pay. The community plan of work gets somewhere. It is little that the county agent or the home demonstra tion agent can accomplish running around visiting 2500 farmers or farm homes in this county! Figure even at 15 visits a day how often you ought to see either of them in the seven months that a car can be run. But with a live community committee, and live farmers and farm women back" of the community committee, big . things can be done. The county agent and home demonstration agent will work with the committees. Plans will be made for a pure bred bull club in one community; for a fireless cooker campaign and farm manage ment club in another; and in still another the farmers want to get to gether and buy power sprayers to ex . terminate kale by spraying with iron sulphate. The community plan of work interests the majority of the rural people. It is a business propo sition. It is democratic for before that plan of work is definitely . decid ed on every farm man and woman in every community will have a chance at the meeting held in their town to say what shall be done. ties in fact, Farm Bureaus have been organized in some counties on this plan and a lot of work has been done before a county agent and home demonstration agent could be hired. That is real Farm Bureau organization just what we need here in Orleans county. Chittenden coun ty is working on this plan. County Agent Peaslee and Mrs. Harrison, the Home Demonstration Agent report that at a meeting at Williston awhile ago various local problems were dis cussed and before " the meeting was over the Farm Bureau was asked to assist the people in that community to develop a community cooperative laundry, to assist the women in the ' use of more household conveniences; I to assist the farmers in the growing of more clover, and increasing thft i practice of keeping farm accounts. Some definite problems to be solved there, similar, no doubt, to many which we want to see solved here in many communities of Orleans county. 4 a DEMOCRACY VS. AUTOCRACY. "There Is no royal road to food conservation. We can only accomplish this by the voluntary action of our whole people, each element In proportion to Its needs. It Is a matter of equality of burden." The truth of this statement, made by the United States Food Administrator soon after we en tered the war, has been borne out by the history of our ex ports. Autocratic food control 4 4 4 4 4- 4- 4 4 In the lands of our enemies has 4 broken down, while democratic 4- food sharing has maintained the 4 health and strength of this coun- 4 try and of the Allies. .J. . - ' 4- DENTAL WORK NEEDED Children of State Found to Much Attention. Need Dr. D. S. Darling, who is doing free dental clinic work, has just complet- ed work of several weeks' duration in Glover, and, found conditions there to be the same as everywhere else in the state. One hundred per cent of the children needed something done and thenumber of extractions per person was 2.3 while the fillings were seven to the child. He made 159 extrac tions there, but most of these were of temporary teeth, which were removed so the permanent ones could come in. There is no doubt that the teeth of older children need attention fully as much as the younger, but on account of lack of funds, it is impossible to attend to , all and the line must be drawn somewhere. The health offi cials look forward to the time when the movement can be made statewide. The dental clinic is operated entire ly by private donations and is under the direction of the state board of health, the state board of education and the Vermont State Dental associ ation. Of the many hundreds who have been asked, only one father ob jected to have his child's teeth treat ed. . In every single case, something was found to be needed. The teeth are cleaned and then the child is given a tooth brush and a can of . powder with which to keep them clean. The teachers in the schools do their bit by impressing on the minds of the chil dren, the necessity of using the brush es. The business of bringing a fully equipped dental office into a town miles removed from a place large enough to support a dentist has been a tremendous success. It is.' usually set up in a schoolhouse and the chil dren, instead of hanging back as some of their elders do when it comes to having teeth extracted, seem anxious for it. The only drawback to the work at present is that it is so very slow. It is simply impossible for one man to visit more than ten or 12 towns a year and do the work thor oughly. Several v different kinds of fillings are put in, the dentist using his own judgment. Even where the child's parents are well off financially no funds are asked and this Tern oves all prejudice which anyone might have that he is a charity patient. In the larger towns and cities where den tists are easily available no effort will be made to treat the children. An average of seven or eight fill ings and between two and three ex tractions of teeth are found to be needed among school children between the ages of six and 12 years through out the state, according to the report of Dr. Darling. The rural dental clin ic has just completed a year of its ex istence and during that time about 1,000 school children have had their teeth put right, free of charge. Ver mont is the only state in the United States which has a rural dental clinic and is the leader when it comes to trving to make better teeth for its in habitants. During the 12 months that the dental clinic has been in evidence, about 7,000 fillings have been nut in and about 2,300 teeth extracted. There are 2,300 county agents in the United States, represent ing more than 80 per cent of the agricultural counties and 97 per cent of the agriculture. What the chamber of com merce secretary is to civic af fairs in the town the county agent is to all matters that per tain to rural betterment with this difference . that the county agricultural agent directly rep resents the National Govern-, ment. - Your, state agricultural college has a division of extension which cooperates with the Fed eral Department of Agriculture in extension work in agriculture and in home economics. Are you using it? To find out how it can help you, Write to your county agent ,or to the director of extension at the college. The dairy cow requires an ounce of salt a day, and while she should be given all she needs, she should not be forced to take more than she wants. It is best, therefore, to give only a small quantity on the feed, and to place rock salt in boxes in the yard.
