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.

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.

child that this is natural and will pass. 



The reproductive system is latent lill 

 this period. The ability to reproduce 

 depends to a large extent upon proper 

 nutrition during this age. Secondary 

 se.x characteristics are developed noted 

 particularly by emotional instability. 

 There will be less stress if the youths 

 are ready for this development. There 

 is always too little information given. 

 Parents should answer every question 

 they are asked from childhood on and 

 answer them truthfully. The child can 

 tell if the truth is not told. This is also 

 a period of mental weaning. The child 

 should be given responsibility and be 

 taught self control. 



One of the great reasons for human 

 wreckage in the adolescent period is be- 

 cause children are allowed to play away 

 fiom home. The front room is too good 

 to be played in. Parents have got to 

 stand the racket of having the "gang" 

 at the house. In athletics many children 

 are hurt physically because they overdo. 

 Our present system is to hire coaches. 

 These coaches, if they are holding their 

 jobs, have to turn out winning teams. 

 It would be far better if all children were 

 to participate in athletics up to their 

 physical strength and learn to be good 

 sports rather than to expect always to 

 win. 



At twenty-one the youth gains the civic 

 group and should become a good citizen. 

 At twenty-five he should join the family 

 group. For him to marry his next door 

 neighbor is but an accident of land 

 tenure. He should have a wide chance 

 for selection, in hopes that he will find 

 a mate who is sound, fine, cooperative 

 and capable of bearing children. The 

 whole aim of the parents should be to 

 develop physical, mental and moral health 

 in the youths under their care.

HOME HAPPENINGS 



One hundred per cent of the women in 

 the South Hadley and Greenwich groups 

 sent in their millinery reports. They 

 show that twenty-nine women have made 

 hats. Only two of these women have 

 ever had millinery before. Twenty-three 

 members passed on the information to 

 sixty women not able to attend the meet- 

 ings. The hats cost $87.82 and were 

 estimated worth $293.28 making a saving 

 of $20.5.46.
