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.

 (out of the more expensive mate-

 start but a steady growth over the 

 whole season.

6. In reaching more women who actu- 

 ally need extension work. 



We are planning this year: 



1. To reach more rural women. 



2. To hold extension schools in towns 

 where project work has not been carried 

 and by so doing, reach women who are 

 not enrolled in project work. 



3. To use some shorter time projects 

 so that the home demonstration agent 

 may meet a larger number of different 

 women. 



4. To keep in touch with women who 

 have had clothing projects by means of 

 a community clothing day. 



5. To have other projects as well as 

 clothing carried on the leader training 

 basis. 



6. To have the nutrition project a 

 major one. 



7. To give more and better publicity 

 to our project work.
