FARMERS' MONTHLY OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY 



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.

Women from the towns of Easthamp- 

 ton, Northampton, Hatfield, Westhamp- 

 ton, Southampton, South Amherst and 

 West Chesterfield showed the progress of 

 the women who had never had clothing 

 work through the stages of the apron, 

 housedress, undergarments and afternoon 

 dress, the children's clothes and the hat. 

 They showed how all the projects are 

 planned to help the homemaker solve her 

 every day problems and give her an op- 

 portunity for a richer, fuller life. 



Mrs. Arlin Cole, Mrs. Homer Granger, 

 Mrs. L. C. Sweet and Mrs. Elmer Todd of 

 Worthington and West Chesterfield por- 

 trayed the humiliating experiences a 

 housewife goes through if she does not 

 have a well planned schedule. They also 

 showed what benefits one might derive 

 from belonging to a household manage- 

 ment group. 



The Greenwich ladies did a clever piece 

 of acting in the play "Food for Thought." 

 They certainly gave the audience food for 

 thought with all the suggestions they of- 

 fered on the correct diet for young, old, 

 overweight and underweight. 



Miss Lucile Reynolds, State Home 

 Demonstration Agent Leader; Miss 

 Marion Tucker, State Clothing Special- 

 ist; and Miss Mildred Wood, State Nu- 

 trition Specialist, gave their interpreta- 

 tion of the different lines of work and 

 reports of the accomplishments in other 

 counties. 



Miss Helen Knowlton, Professor of 

 Home Economics at Massachusetts Agri- 

 cultural College, stressed the gaining of 

 more knowledge to enable intelligent 

 feeding of the family, and after having 

 gained this knowledge how to use it. To 

 help the women remember these points, 

 she used for her text this jingle: 



First use your mind 



Then use your will 



Use some tact and all your .skill 



Then use some books 



Your need forsee 



But mo.st of all use M. A. C. 

 Mrs. Julian Dimock with her enthusi- 

 asm won many admirers. She gave the 

 women an insight into her life as a mem- 

 ber of the legislature and her home life 

 on the Vermont farm. Her big message 

 was the point of view of being satisfied 

 and making the best of what you have. It 

 is not the things that we can buy that 

 are the richest and make the home ideal 

 but the spiritual things that are' not 

 made and cannot be bought. No matter 

 where the home is or how much money 

 goes along with it, the home is not ideal 

 until we have the right attitude of mind 

 as to the ideal and have faith, patience 

 and love to go with it. 



If you wish to know how to oil your 

 floors, read the article "Backaches Eli- 

 minated" in the April Farmers' Monthly.
