FARMERS' MONTHLY OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY 



THOSE RECORDS AND STORIES 



On October 15 



Of course every Garden, Field Crops 

 and Canning club member in Hampshire 

 County realizes that next month their 

 record books and stories are due at the 

 county office. To be exact, we want them 

 by October 15 and wouldn't kick at all 

 if they were in before then. 



If you want that 4-H club pin that you 

 deserve for doing this year's club work 

 you must send in the record book (prop- 

 erly filled out) and a story telling what 

 you did and how you did it. 



WINS TRIP TO EASTERN 



STATES EXPOSITION 



Henry Randall to be iVlember 

 of Camp Vail 



Hampshire County is to be represented 

 at Camp Vail, Eastern States Exposition, 

 this year by Henry Randall of Granby. 

 This trip is indeed an honor as Camp 

 Vail is the goal in view of a good many 

 of the 75,000 club members in the 13 

 ea.stern states. The camp is made up 

 of 12 members from each of the 13 

 eastern states who have their expenses 

 paid to and from the Exposition and, of 

 course, are entertained free of charge 

 while at the camp. 



This trip is awarded, not only, on the 

 amount and quality of work done, but 

 mostly on the club spirit and willingness 

 to help others into and in club work. It 

 is something like picking the champion 

 of all the county champions of which 

 there were seven to choose from. 



This is Henry's sixth year as a 4-H 

 club worker, having in that time been a 

 handicraft member five years, a poultry 

 member four years and a dairy member 

 one year. Last year Henry was County 

 handicraft Champion, thereby winning a 

 trip to Camp Gilbert, M. A. C. This 

 year he won the County Championship 

 in the Poultry Project and his second 

 trip to Camp Gilbert. Now he has be- 

 fore him a week even a bit better than 

 either of the other two, as for gaining 

 inspiration and education Camp Vail is 

 without equal. 



LEADERS VISIT 



Hilton show to good advantage his six 

 head of pure bred Holsteins, but he told 

 them of his experiences as a club member 

 for the past four years as a member and 

 as a leader for the past year. 



The last call was made at the South 

 Amherst school where Miss Cora Hew- 

 lett, teacher and 4-H Club leader showed 

 how she conducts her club work during 

 the winter months.
