It is the intention of the Battalion lo co-opi'.rale with the Farm Bureaus, with individual farmers, anil with any organization existing in the four counties on Long Island by securing additional lan<l for cultivation, by furnishing agricultural machinery and iinplcmentw that will increase the efli- ciency and ouli»ut of existing labor, lo furnish fertilizer and seed, to se- rure additional labor, and lo formu¬ late plans for utilizing volunteer labor otfered by Boy Scouts, High .Schools and other organizations from the city and the communities of I>oiig Island. In aildition to this it is proposed to arrange a system of storage ware¬ houses to care for the surjilus produc¬ tion, and to arrange a systematic dis¬ tribution and marketing of the crop after it has been harvested.

the home of the pre.sident, .Mrs. Fre<l E. Story, 171 West .Merrick Road. The meeting was called to order at II a. III. and the following reports were given  by  the officers  of the  Associa-
Osterhout.
.\t the beginning of his remarks Mr. Hugo got in the good graces of his audience by remarking that when he (inished the census work last year and remarked that Freeport wa.s the'tion: lith largest \illage in the .State and the most progressive village on Long Island, he simply said it because it was the truth. He did not mean, how¬ ever, in any way to refl<'ct upon Rock¬ ville Centre.
The allusion lo Rockville Centre was because of remarks of Edwin (i. Wright. President of Rockville Cen¬ tre, who had extolled the village of which he is the governing officer, in a talk to the Club members and their guests,   in   which   he  dwelt   uiioii   the

Secretary's Report
I like to think that small service is true ser\ ice and while the large things will appear in the reports of our Treasurer and Social Worker, the snial! thiiig.s which we do in our e.x¬ ecutive meetings are what make the large things possible.
During the year it has been my privilege and pleasure to record the executive blisiness-of one special and ten regular meetings.
The   average   attendance   has   hi number of points ,n common between : ^¦f^^^^   ^^.,„^.,,  j^ f„^,^ ^^,^^ tj,^„   ,^^^   ^^^^ ^,^^.^j^^  „j ^^^^^^.^.
