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 farmei-s are 

 at your disposal. 



We'll be glad to serve you.

HOME HAPPENINGS 



During the last week in April there 

 was a food preservation school held at 

 the Flint Labratory at the Massachu.setts 

 Agiicultuial College for women who 

 were interested in producing their pro- 

 ducts for sale. Four women attended 

 this school from Hampshire County : Mrs. 

 E. R. Loomis, Mrs. W. S. Lyman, Mrs. C. 

 R. Kendall and Mrs. F. J. Ward of 

 Southampton. This town is on the new 

 college highway and the farm women 

 hope to woi-k up a demand for their goods 

 by displaying them at roadside stands. 



The project groups in Worthington, 

 I Enfield and Huntington have just finish- 

 ! ed an interesting piece of work in furni- 

 ture renovation. Some fine old chairs 

 that have been stored away in the barn 

 for years are now taking their rightful 

 place in the living room. 



Rush seats, cane seats and splint seats 

 have been used according to the type of 

 chair which needed reseating. And then 

 the new finish was applied and the chairs 

 look as good as new.

 ards of artistic arrangement, give a 

 pleasing apijearance to the room as a 

 whole, and make cleaning and care easy? 



Is the coloring of the room restful 

 without being monotonous, and harmon- 

 ious without following a stilted scheme? 



Do the pictures, ornaments, and small 

 furni.shings, give the room a "lived-in" 

 look and add to its beauty and comfort? 



Such points mark whether the living 

 room is livable. With some changes they 

 can be applied to other rooms and will 

 suggest improvements to make the house 

 more healthful, suitable, comfortable, 

 and convenient in terms of the family 

 needs.

 Miss Knowlton, head of the foods 

 courses at the Massachusetts Agricul- 

 tural College has a subject that we are 

 all anxious to hear about, "Ourselves As 

 Others See Us." Satisfy your couriosity 

 and hear what she has to say. 



Besides the program, there will be ex- 

 hibits by a number of community groups 

 who have carried on project work. It 

 will be a good time to see how your work 

 compares with that of your co-workers. 



Our goal is to have every town in the 

 county represented. In other words, if 

 you are interested in Extension Work, 

 now is the time to show your interest. 

 Pass the good word along to your friends 

 and neighbors, prepare a basket lunch, 

 and be at Laurel Park at 10.30, Thurs- 

 day morning .June 11th.
