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 yoii.

I she is not the only one who can use it to 

 advantage and so she passes on tKe good 

 work. 



After attending in Belchertown the 

 first meeting on children's clothes, Mrs. 

 Warner made four of the one hour rom- 

 pers and sent them away with the pat- 

 tern. She also gave the pattern of that 

 romper to five other women who could 

 u.se it. One afternoon she invited all her 

 neighbors to her home and taught them 

 the work given at the meeting. Besides 

 i this she spent one afternoon with a young 

 I mother helping her with the i-omper and 

 taught six more women to make bound 

 I button-holes. She even put into practice 

 j the alteration of patterns and reduced the 

 I romper pattern to doll size making some 

 ' little girl happy at Christmas time. 

 I We hope we have in the county a lot 

 i of Mrs. Warners who are helping to 

 j make life better and easier for other 

 j women. The following poem might be 

 applied to the real extension game. 

 "Have you had a kindness shown 

 Pass it on 



'Twas not given for you alone 

 Pass it on 



Let it wipe another's tears 

 Let it travel down in years 

 Till in heaven the deed appears 

 Pass it on".

A POPULAR LUNCHEON 



At the last meeting of the food selection 

 class the leaders served a luncheon that 

 proved very popular. It consisted of 

 vegetable loaf, dark bread and butter, 

 apple and banana salad and cocoa. The 

 recipes were so good that we are passing 

 them on. 



Vegetable Loaf 

 I 2 cups cooked carrots, cut small. 

 I 1 cup diced celery cooked. 

 1 cup white sauce. 

 i cup grated cheese. 

 Buttered bread crumbs. 

 Scrape carrots, dice, cook in small 

 amount of water. Cut celery small and 

 cook in small amount of water. Coarse 

 stalks may be used, in fact they have a 

 better flavor than the bleached stalks. 

 Make a white sauce with one cup of milk, 

 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons 

 i of butter. Any juice from vegetables 

 .should be substituted for part of milk. 

 Add to it while hot the grated cheese. 

 Put vegetables in layers in buttered bak- 

 ing dish, pour white sauce and cheese 

 mixture over vegetables, put buttered 

 crumbs on top, and brown in oven. 



A Good Salad 



5 finely cut apples. 



1 finely cut banana. 



.Juice of i small onion. 



Dash of salt. 



Mix ingredients together and serve 

 with fruit dressing. Ground nut meats 

 and cherries add to attractiveness and 

 flavor.
