Practically every director was present to hear the report of progress-that had been made and to speak for his own district. It was learned that Mr. McDowell of the plant bureau of the department of agriculture had made a visit to Wood­ stock to confer with Messrs. M. J. Wright, and Fremont Hoy and made final arrangements for the national aid. These men reported that our county was the last one in the state to get this co-operation from Washington which will give us $100 a month and franking privileges that will exempt all official communications from post­ age. Only three counties in each state will receive such aid. Complying with a motion made at the meeting the following local meet­ ings have beeij planned for next week: Monday, Jan. K--Harvard, morning; Crystal Lake, afternoon: Woodstock, evening. Tuesday, Jan. 7--Huntley, morning; Union, afternoon; Marengo, evening. Wednesday. Jan. 8--Richmond, morn­ ing: McHenry. afternoon: ltingwood. evening. Thursday, Jan. 9--Alden, morning: Hebron, afternoon: Greenwood, even­ ing. Friday, January 10--Riley, morning: Hartland, afternoon; Dunham, evening. Aside from the local speakers the following have been assigned to aid in these meetings: M. J. Wright, Green­ wood: (". W.

This agent would meet afrnan on his own ground, talk over his own conditions that confront him and give personal attention and suggestions that cannot be received thru books and farm papers. Our county is in line for this work. We have an excellent soil foundation, exceptional transportation facilities, good roads, to a remarkable degree over most of the county, a citi­ zenship capable, intelligent and amply able to aid in the financing of the movement as well as able and fitted to carry out a system of rotation and improvement as would place ourcounty on the map of the state in sbch a way that it would arouse the admiration and envy not alone of other counties but of other states. ••••••••«•«•###•«• PRO.IATE NEWS ----** WMWtMtMIMmMWMMMHHWWmmJ [ Kurnlshed by McHenry County Abstract Company.
