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 problem with any real interest, for it 

 was found that they were not only drink- 

 ing too little milk but that they were not 

 getting enough of the right kind of vege- 

 tables. 



In examining the children at the clinics 

 the nutrition workers used the following 

 rules as a standard of what the children 

 of that age need : 



4 glasses of milk every day. 



i ei^g each day. 



Some whole grain bread each day. 



A breakfast including cooked cereal. 



Candy and other sweets only at the end 

 of a regular meal. 



4 glasses of water every day. 



No tea or coifee. 



To bring these children up to normal 

 weight they must have not only these food 

 habits, but they need plenty of .sleep; yet 

 the figures in this report prove that less 

 than 50% of the 8,000 children are eating 

 the right food and getting enough sleep. 

 It is hoped that the facts brought to light 

 by these clinics will stimulate the teach- 

 ers and pai-ents throughout the State to 

 see that the school children get the proper 

 food to insure a healthy body and to pro- 

 tect them from tuberculosis.

Having renovated their furniture a 

 year ago the Norwich Bridge group is 

 learning the art of furniture arrange- 

 ment from Mrs. Harriet Haynes, state 

 home management specialist. That was 

 the main subject discussed at the third 

 meeting, but curtains are linked so closely 

 with good furniture and furniture ar- 

 rangement that they had their share of 

 discussion. Mrs. Haynes showed a very 

 fine set of slides from the United States 

 Department o f Agriculture which 

 brought out the points she was stressing i 

 very clearly and helped the women to vis- 

 ualize different arrangements. The wom- 

 en are planning many changes in their 

 living rooms with Mrs. Haynes' guidance. 



ADVICE FROM AN EXPERT 



Mrs. Mark Brooks Picken of the Pic- 

 torial Review Magazine has given us the 

 following information, which will be of 

 interest to all women who have taken 

 clothing con.struction A. and B. and to 

 any woman who wants a good foundation 

 pattern. 



"As regards foundation patterns, I 

 would suggest that you use a new pictori- 

 al pattern .3678. This is a simple one 

 piece dress that serves admirably for a 

 foundation pattern. 



"For figiares needing a dart at the 

 shoulder I would suggest Design 2919 as a 

 plain foundation pattern. 



"Foundation patterns for dresses that 

 are to be made of soft material and where 

 an easy fit is desired, I suggest either one 

 of the three following: Numbers, 3404, 

 3.555, and 3685."
