FARMERS' MONTHLY OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY 



AROUND THE COUNTY 



Mrs. Sai-cah Burt of Westhanipton, Mrs. 

 Mabel Smith of West Farms, and Miss 

 Ella Buckler of the Massachusetts Agri- 

 cultural College attended a Food Club 

 meeting at the Hampden County Im- 

 provement League Building on Saturday, 

 October 31. Seven leaders from other 

 counties were present. Miss Mae E. 

 Foley, State Food Extension Specialist, 

 gave a demonstration and instructions in 

 food club work which will help them in 

 carrying- on work in their communities. 



Mr. O. A. Morton, superintendent of 

 Hadley and Hatfield schools, has recently 

 appointed Mr. Edward Burke and Miss 

 Louise Frisbee in charge of boys' and 

 girls' club woi-k in Hatfield and Mr. Paul 

 Brown and Mrs. Doris Champlain in 

 charge at Hadley. 



Superintendent Maurice J. West of the 

 Huntington schools has always shown a 

 keen interest in the development of 4-H 

 club work in that town, the kind of in- 

 terest that pushes things along. He re- 

 cently has decided to take charge of a 

 group of boys in handicraft work. 



Miss Nellie Shea's twenty-seven handi- 

 craft boys have set a goal of one hun- 

 dred chairs to cane during the winter. 



Mr. Edward Burke in charge of agri- 

 cultural work with boys in Hatfield re- 

 cently sent five boys with the club agent 

 to Mr. Ellis Harlow's farm in Amherst 

 and Mr. Dwight Randall's farm in Bel- 

 chertown to see young dairy animals suit- 

 able for them to purchase. On both 

 farms the boys were well received and 

 were so interested in the animals shown 

 them that they will get their dads to the 

 farms to help them make their decision. 



A demonstration on painting glass- 

 ware was given at the Pomeroy meadow 

 school on Friday afternoon, November 

 ()th. Miss Margaret Zoudlick had pre- 

 viously asked the boys and girls to bring 

 glass bottles to be started. After the 

 club agent demonstrated the steps in vase 

 painting twelve youngsters applied the 

 first coat of paint. Miss Zoudlick hopes 

 to have the home decoration work con- 

 tinued. 



No Time To Quit 



There's a time to part and a time to 



meet, 

 There's a time to sleep and a time to eat. 

 There's a time to work and a time to play, 

 There's a time to sing and a time to pray; 

 There's a time that's glad and a time 



that's blue, 

 There's a time to plan and a time to do, 

 There's a time to grin and to show your 



grit — 

 But there never was a time to quit.

Lawson Clark of Williamsburg, one of 

 the dairy club members, has recently re- 

 ceived a fine heifer calf from his two year 

 old heifer. The sire of the calf was the 

 bull owned by Charles Clark of Leeds. 



The silver cup ofl'ered by the North- 

 ampton Chamber of Commerce for the 

 best team in Home Economics .Judging

 Science Department in Hatfield.
