4-H CLUB NEWS 



MANY BOYS AND GIRLS 



WIN PRIZES AT FAIR 



In addition to the casli prizes given at 

 the Three County Fair, nearly $100.00 

 worth of special or commodity prizes 

 were given. These were donated by 

 Northampton Merchants, Grain Com- 

 panies, Granges, Magazines and com- 

 mercial concerns outside the county. 



As these were given only to Hampshire 

 County 4-H club members, many boys who 

 competed, and could have won if they had 

 been club members, lost out on that ac- 

 count. Thirty-six different boys and girls 

 won these prizes as follows:
