Woman's National Farm and Garden Association 
Notes on Council Meeting 
At the meeting of the Council of the Woman's National Farm 
and Garden Association held in New York, February 5, Signora 
Olivia Rossetti Agresti, who has been connected with the International 
Institute of Agriculture at Rome for fourteen years, was elected an 
Honorary Member of the Association. Signora Agresti has been in 
this country some months, coming at the time of the International 
Industrial Conference to act as interpreter for the Itahan delegation. 
She has lectured on the International Institute of Agriculture in 
New York and Boston and many other places in New England under 
the auspices of the Association, of agricultural colleges and of farmers' 
and business men's organizations. 
The Land Service Committee reported that thirty-six agricultural 
scholarships had been awarded since September, 1918, and that an 
exchange scholarship with England is under consideration. 
The report from the New England Branch included a statement 
of the Christmas sale at which $2,500 worth of members' products 
were sold in two days. Some members had nothing to send to the 
sale because they had sold everything through orders received as a 
result of being listed in the New England Branch monthly leaflet. 
The National Association is considering publishing two or three times 
a year for distribution to its members a list of all producing members 
to help the woman who wants to buy and the woman who has some- 
thing to sell.
