The club is anxious to secure a
membership of at least 100 men and
every Holstein man is urged tohand
his dues to his community chairman
or to send them direct to Ralph Dev
ereaux of Barton, the secretary-
treasurer of this organization.
Plans for an auction were talked
over and it seemed to be the opinion
of those present that the best time
would be next September when the
Barton fair was held. C. W. Bean
was appointed to meet with the fair
commission to see if it will be possi
ble to hold such an auction next fall
at the Barton fair. Both registered
and grade Holstein females would be
sold, as well as registerea uoisxem
bulls. With plenty of advertising,
such an auction should give a great
deal of publicity to this county as a
Holstein center in the state of Ver
mont. Following the membership
campaign it is planned to hold two
county meetings, one for the northern
part of Orleans county in Newport,
and the other in West Glover for the
southern part of the county. An ef
fort will be made to secure one or
two prominent Holstein men from
outside the county to aauress tnese
meetings. - .
