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.

those for sport and for more formal oc- 

 casions. 



The ensemble dress, popular last year, 

 is still in vogue, and the "compose", in 

 which two, three, or four shades of the 

 same colors may be used, is even more 

 fashionable. Sometimes two or more 

 fabrics are combined. 



Printed georgettes are cool and alto- 

 gether charming for l(ot weather wear. 

 Printed silks in exclusive patterns are 

 universally used, both for sports and 

 afternoon frocks and for more formal oc- 

 casions. These silks are seen in both 

 small and conspicuous designs. Dresses 

 made from them are also worn with 

 harmonizing coats in wool or satin or silk, 

 the coats being lined with the silk of 

 which the dress is made. 



There are more cotton dresses this 

 season than have been seen for some time 

 previous. Ginghams, voiles, batistes, bique, 

 and linens, are lovely and may be made in 

 distinctive fa.shion. 



Long sleeves continue to be shown on 

 nearly all dresses. Many sleeveless dress- 

 es and some sleeveless coats to be used as 

 part of sport costumes are being offered 

 in the .shops.

QUESTION AND ANSWER COLUMN, 



May E. Foley 

 State Nutrition Specialist 



Question: Is bran a whole-grain cereal? 

 A>isn-er: No, bran is simply the outside 

 layer or layers of the kernel, while a 

 whole-grain product of any kind contains 

 not only the outside layers of the kernel 

 but also the in-between layers and the in- 

 ner part of the grain, and the germ. 

 White bread and refined breakfast cereals ! 

 contain (|uantities of starch with a small 

 amount of protein, minerals and vitamins. 

 Whole-grain products of all kinds contain 

 the starch of the inner part of the grain 

 and at least twice as much protein 

 minerals and vitamins as are found in the 

 refined cereals, in addition to the bran. 

 Bran, as it appears on the market for 

 human food, contains a large proportion 

 of cellulose or undigestible roughage, 

 with small particles of the other food- 

 stufl's which cling to the bran layers. j 



Question : At what age should children 

 have raw vegetables? 



Answer: In the nursery schools of several 

 colleges and universities, raw vegetables 

 are added to the children's diets between 

 eighteen months and two years of age. 

 These vegetable.s — cabbage, carrots, and 

 celery, spinach or lettuce- — are finely 

 .shi-edded or grated and used as filling be- 

 tween thin bread and butter sandwiches. 

 The normal child enjoys them and is able 

 to digest them without difficulty. The two 

 precautions to observe are that the vege- 

 tables be finely divided, and be given 

 cautiously until the child's digestive 

 system gets accustomed to them.
