It is gratifying to learn from some of the branches that keen interest has been shown in these lessons, and that the lim- ited number of Lesson Sheets provided to each branch lich been passed about among the members and very profitable disâ€" uussions held at regular meet- ings and in special groups. As soon as a majority of thC'InStl» tutcs have given adequate time to the first two lessons, Nutrition Leaflet No, 3 will be distributed, probably in the early fall, unless there is a general appeal for an earlier distribution Sample Program We beg to present herewith a sample programme which may be found of value to some of the officers in making their plans for the year: JUNE Motto: "Let us charge those guests with the electric current of our good feeling."

Branch Reports It is always helpful and stimuâ€" lating to read reports setting forth not only the educational programme. but the social activi- ties and the services rendered by the branches to the individual and the community, so we are presenting herewith notes glean- ed from reports which have come to hand recently: NEWS FROM THE BRANCHES 1. Literary Society, the great- est achievement in one branch, conducted as follows: “Our greatest achievement we think is the Literary Society. It is held once a month during the \\‘ll‘lt(‘l‘ season. This month c0m~ pletcs the second term, and each ‘nionth a greater interest is eviâ€" dent. In October, 1931, we de lcided to have one meeting, and ion its success or failure rested ithe continuance of this plan. A committee of three ladies was l‘appointed. one or two of these to ,bc ladies who were not Insti- ,tute members. The husbands or ‘brothers of those appointed also were members of the committee. together with the president and secretary of the Institute. At the close of the first evening, by a vote of all present, they, with great enthusiasm. decided in fav- .our of continuing. Then, by mo» ‘tion, another committee was ap- pointed for the next month’s pro- gramme: thus new ideas and ‘spi'euding of responsibility cre- luted more general interest. “We have had a short play and Winter excepting one, also music. speeches and readings. The teacher has given loyal coâ€"oper- ti_debate at each meeting this’ ation and helps tlie'children , take part. a debate ‘Resolved- that small schools are preferable to large hools.’ 5c“This month the reeve Vanda member of the township council will debate with reeve and coun- cil member from another town- ship on ‘Resolved that the Gym: adian farmers are of more im- portance to our country than Canadian manufacturers.’ home by eleven o’clock, thus the children who attend with their school duties. “The young people are greatly interested. The admission fee is ten cents, all taking part, and: all children admitted free.” I _ 2. A story telling competition proved to be a very accepmble project in another branch and was the main feature of the monthly meeting. The teachers in the local school and also those in surrounding rural schools were notified that pupils of 10 years of age were eligible to enter the competition. The teachers sel- ected the stories and coached the pupils, nine contestants entered, and books were given to each as awards. (No prizes, but stand- ing was announced.) 3. One branch has a "Help on” committee. A few minutes of each meeting is devoted to pass- ing on suggestions in labour sav- ing, economies, recipes, and other helps which have proved very beneficial. 4. If any of our members have vacation trip, we have them give us a travel talk and all enjoy these greatly. 5. A social evening put on by a local branch which proved a suc- cess in every way, consisted of a short play by the Institute and the balance of the programme given by the school pupils. The musical numbers were given by the winners in the County Festi- val, while the entrance pupils, who were prize winners in an essay contest put on by the W. I., read their essays at this meet- ing. The gathering was open to all in the community without charge, and was greatly appreci- ated. The school teacher was particularly pleased with the essay feature, stating that more and better work was brought out than would have been possible otherwise. Literature Available There appears to be a growing appreciation of the literature available and we have pleasure in announcing the following bul- letins which may be secured by writing to the Publications Branch, Department of Agricul- ture, Parliament Buildings, To- ronto: I No. 3677Pork on the Farmâ€" which deals with the butchering of hugs, proper method of cutting the carcass into desirable pieces and methods of curing pork, to- gether with sausage making. _, No. ashâ€"Farm Poultry â€" A new edition which contains most valuable information on the sel- ection,_breeding, rearing and marketing of poultry. ,/ No. SEQâ€"Vegetable Gardening reused edition of the bul- letin which gives a list of the vegetables which should be found in the farm home garden, to- gether with directions as to planting, c a r e, comparative quantities of each kind. etc. Every farm girl would do well to consider carefully the possibili- ties of growing a better garden than ever this year.
