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.

 whole season.

GOOD BOOKS AWAIT 



YOU IN YOUR LIBRARY 



Let's read a book or two! There are 

 many excellent books available on home 

 economics and similar subjects pertaining 

 to the family. Much inspiration and 

 many helpful suggestions #re stowed a- 

 way between the covers of these books. 

 They are yours for the taking. There are 

 very few things which come to us in this 

 world without effort. 



The following are a few suggestive 

 titles of good books: 



The Bent Twig Dorothy Canfield Fisher 

 Mother and Children 



Dorothy Canfield Fisher 

 Your Child Today and Tomorrow 



Elizabeth Harrison 

 Spending the Family Income 



S. Agnes Donham 

 The Business of Being a Woman 



Ida M. Tarbell 

 You may get them from your library. 

 Perhaps you would be interested to form 

 a reading circle with your neighbors. 

 The books could be circulated through 

 your group. At occasional meetings you 

 could discuss them and bring out their 

 strong points. Think back to your school 

 days. Didn't you get more out of the 

 books which were discussed by the group 

 than when you had read them alone?
