THE FARMERS' MONTHLY, APRIL, 1928 



MISS FORBES VISITS COUNTY 



Sewing club members in Granby, 

 Bondsville and Bradstreet received a 

 visit from Miss Mai'ion Forbes, assistant 

 State Club Leader, Wednesday, March 21. 



At each of these groups the girls 

 showed Miss Forbes some of the articles 

 they were making in order to receive the 

 many helpful hints that she gave. 



After looking over the articles, Miss 

 Forbes showed the girls the contents of 

 her "clothing kit" which contains samples 

 of the required articles, made by club 

 girls in many parts of the state. 



At the end of the day she was much 

 pleased with the work she had seen and 

 prophesied that Hampshire County cloth- 

 ing exhibits this spring would be the 

 ecjual of or better that those held in the 

 past.

Mr. Enos Montague, Farm Superin- 

 tendent of M. A. C, is to be the main 

 speaker at the second annual banquet 

 which the county 4-H Dairy club is to 

 hold Friday, May 18. 



Mr. Montague's talk will be on his trip 

 to Europe which he took last spring, visit- 

 ing Holland, the home of our Hol.stein 

 cattle, as well as Scotland, and the .Jersey 

 and Guernsey Islands. 



The banquet is to be held in the .James 

 House on Gothic St., Northampton, at 

 6 :.30 and will be followed by the program. 

 In addition to Mr. Montague's talk, there 

 will be other speakers including a Frank- 

 lin County Dairy Club member and last, 

 but not lea.st, the announcement of the 

 winners in the Milk Production Contest 

 which started last May and ends April .30 

 this year. Mr. Quentin Reynolds, of the 

 Eastern States Fanner's Exchange, will 

 make the announcements of the winners 

 of the 1000 pounds of grain which is 

 given by the Exchange. 



Parents to Give Food 



Like the banquet which the Dairy club 

 held last May, the food for it is to be do- 

 nated by the parents of the club members. 

 Each and every parent of the Dairy mem- 

 bers is not only cordially invited but is 

 requested to make a special effort to be 

 present. The real success of the Dairy 

 Club Member is dependent not only on 

 the work done by the member, but also on 

 the support given it by the member's par- 

 ents. 



In order for those parents to see ju.st 

 what we are trying to do and for them to 

 understand what the Dairy members get 

 out of such work outside the actual know- 

 j ledge of raising a dairy animal, the ban- 

 quet committee is especially asking the 

 parents to be present.
