HAMPSHIRE COUNTY FARMERS' MONTHLY 



A Business Bank for 



Business Farmers 



This is a message for business 

 farmers — for those progressive 

 crop and cattle raisers who know 

 that to get profits from farming 

 there must be knowledge not only 

 of crops, but of markets, of prices, 

 of soil treatment, of other factors. 



This bank's primary object is to 

 help farmers of this section to pros- 

 per. Our complete banking facili- 

 ties and our dependable sources of 

 information valuable to farmers are 

 at your disposal. 



We'll be glad to serve you.

FERTILIZERS 



Both our standard grades of 

 goods and our Concentrated 10-16- 

 14 Potato and Market Garden Fer- 

 tilizer are especially compounded 

 (out of the more expensive mate- 

 rials) to produce not only a quick 

 start but a steady growth over the 

 whole season. 



We handle a full line of fertilizer 

 materials.

The habit of Saving 



Is at the bottom of most 

 big successes in the busi- 

 ness world. Begin the 

 habit by opening a savings 

 account with the Hayden- 

 ville Savings Bank. One 

 dollar is enough to start 

 with.

HOME HAPPENINGS 



The young mothers of Cummington are 

 planning to start with the children's 

 clothes project under the leadership of 

 Mrs. Harvey Billings. The work will 

 take up the use of sewing machine at- 

 tachments, numerous short cuts and dec- 

 orative stitches, the listing and altering 

 of commercial patterns and numerous 

 other things which will help mothers to 

 clothe their children better, easier and 

 cheaper. If you care to take the work, 

 talk with Mrs. Billings and get the de- 

 tailed plans. 



The cleaning fever always accompanies 

 the coming of spring and with the clean- 

 ing fever comes the desire to renovate, 

 to make materials we have on hand into 

 more useable form. We are blaming the 

 coming of spring for the number of calls 

 for the furniture renovation project. 

 Groups in Worthington, Enfield, and 

 Huntington are starting work along this

 about finished their winter's work in 

 clothing and millinery and have new 

 dresses and hats to exhibit Easter Sun-

Have Your Garden Soil Tested 



Chesterfield women told Profes.sor 

 Koon that they did not have good success 

 with asparagus, onions, lettuce or spin- 

 ach in their gardens. He stated that 

 their crops needed lots of lime and sug- 

 gested that they send samples of their 

 garden soil to the Home Demonstration 

 Agent to be tested for lime requirements. 

 Nine women took advantage of this offer. 

 All but one of the samples showed that 

 the soil was strongly acid. If you are 

 having trouble growing these crops, send 

 about a cupful of soil from your garden 

 to be tested.
