The Warrenton Garden Club 
The Warrenton Garden Club has co-operated with the Garden 
and Home Economics Branch of the Citizens' National Service Com- 
mittee of the County to employ a garden and canning demonstrator, 
who will direct the work in the County. The Club contributes to 
the salary and helps in various ways to make the work effective. 
The Weeders 
The "Weeders" report that during the past year, they, as a Club, 
and as individuals, have helped organize and taken part in the ac- 
tivities in their vicinity for the production and conservation of food. 
They, with other associations, are working on the Canning Commit- 
tee, the Committee on Harvesting and Disposal of Surplus Produce, 
the Vacant Lots Association and the Yard and Garden Contests. 
They have given prizes and helped these organizations both per- 
sonally and financially. Meetings are held twice a week, including 
two Flower Shows and lectures on Food Conservation, etc. 
Report of 
THE BULLETIN Committee 
The Bulletin has had an uneventful year and one of moderate 
success in all but a financial sense. 
Most apologetically, the editor has to announce that even the in- 
creased advertising has failed to cover expenses. There are two rea- 
sons for this: one the rapid growth of the Club membership, which 
means a larger issue, added postage and much additional secretarial 
work, the other the constantly mounting cost of paper, which has 
added about 10 per cent to the contract price. The increased mem- 
bership also means a much larger January number to hold the more 
numerous reports. 
Another unforeseen expense was the publication of the special 
May issue telling of the emergency garden work being done in this 
country and abroad. Extra copies of this were printed as the Gar- 
den Club's contribution to preparedness and conservation. A few 
copies are still available. 
It is hoped these excuses will be accepted in explanation of the 
complete financial collapse set forth in the report that follows. 
The plans for next year include a change in advertising arrange- 
ments whereby advertisers may engage space for every issue instead
