Successful Meetings Board of Agriculture The Board of Agricultuio meetings throughout the riding, ciine to an end with a meeting at Hupeville DII Friday evening of last week, ai.d were fairly sue ceaaful.

At the afternoon meeting here there were not ninny fanners present, but at the evening meeting there was a oud turnout of citizens and farmers Miss Chapman was declared by the women of thi) -W. 1. to be the beet speaker they have ever had address them. At ihe night meeting her address was along lines of social work as a community under- taking; and was largely taken up with illustrations of what, had been done in other pltces. Mies Chapman is a whirl- wind to talk and her idea* are certainly worth listening to. She paid a high tribute to the village on its development of ill- Memorial Park and thought i, would be a valuable asset its a community uplift. Mr. Cooper, of ilio Agricultural I>ept., nm'e a plea for more work. He wanted the people to make use of him. There were only two sohools in the Township of Artemesia that had gone in for school fairs, tie put on a set of moving pictures showing market gardening in the Hirmbe r Valley, and how to dress a fowl for roast- ing. Thiisu pictures weie very cirmll and valuttlesi as a demonstration. Th aud. icnce did not find them instructive. Mr, Cooper advocated Farmers' Clubs buying these machines at 9250, for their own use but we fancy few clubs will ipend so much mouey for a toy of this nature.
