F.rJl. from Walpole. Mass., to succeed Wuyland 1. Frost, who became manager of the Windham County Co-operative Milk Producers. Inc., at that time. Mr. Harvey's year dates from April 1. Iu considering the matter o( trans portation for the club agent it was felt hy the committee that, the home demon stration work and club work wds increas ing so rapidly that it was not advisable to depend uimmi one car for the use of Initli agents, as much valuable time of one or the other would be lost, in so do ing. Miss Cameron expressed her will ingness to buy a car for her own use if the Ilureau would pay a specified mile age, and the committee decided on that course. ; When the question of field day in co-i operation with three other counties had' been thoroughly discussed it was decided not to give up the Windham funty field) dav. because the county would lose its: identity in so doing, but the date for the licld day was not set. It was decided, however, to co-operate with the other counties in a field day to such an extent as Wits found iKissible. , A report of the New England Farm P.ureau Federation held last week in ISurlitigton was then given by Mr. Mose m.in. delegate from this county, who told many interesting points brought out at the gathering. One of the most important features was a statement which showed what the farmers' bloc had done in con gress in securing the passage of five bills which had been shelved front eight to 1(5 years, all of them having been put through this year. He said that the Farm P.ureau takes responsibility for the or ganization of the bloc, although it does not take the responsibility for all that the bloc has done. The question of membership campaign for this year was then taken up by Mr. Cornwall, who told how it bad been done iu other counties and stated that it probably would be wise to put on a reg ular team furnished and trained by the Farm P.ureau Federation, the campaign to start May I. The president. A. A. Hunklee, was empowered to appoint a committee of three, to act with him and I to be known as the membership cam paign committee to have charge of work ing 'out the details. It also yvas decided to schedule a meeting in eycli town, pre-. vious to the solicitation, but that no. memberships should be solicited at the meetings, which would be open to every- one. Mr. Punklee appointed Earl Ester brook of Wilmington. E. N. Moseinan of Rrattleboro and W. S. Fenn of West minster. ' Mr. Moseman then reported on the seed M.tato project, stating that so far! he had found it rather difficult to tuar-j ket .certified seed because of a fraud worked by one member last year, but that at tiie present time prospects were, more promising, iuasmijclt is :bnyer. were , holding oiT to as late a, dale as jiossi hle. He spoke of a survv of farmers on this subject, which is in progress. Had Perfect Attendance.
