THE FAPuMERS' MONTHLY, JUNE, 1928 



Lawn Day, usually held the latter part 

 of June, will be a new feature of Farm 

 and Home Week and will be held in Fri- 

 day, July 27. 



The feature speaker of the evening pro- 

 grams will be Liberty Hyde Bailey,

State-wide field days of the Massachu- 

 setts State Grange will also be held on 

 Sunday and Monday July 22-2.3. Accord- 

 ing to W. N. Howard, state master, these 

 field days are a new feature of the Grange 

 program and are being held at M. A. C.

 better cooperation with the college and to 

 enable Grangers to attend both meetings 

 at the same time.

We had the pleasure of meeting for the 

 first time, our new assistant State Club 

 Leader, Mr. Harley A. Leland, who is fill- 

 ing the position left vacant by the death 

 of W. F. Howe. 



Mr. Leland gave a very interesting talk 

 on important matters in 4-H Club Work. 



Mr. Enos Montague, Supt. of M. A. C. 

 Farm, gave us a most vivid description of 

 his tour last spring through Europe. He 

 visited the .Jersey and Guernsey Lslands 

 and Holland, the home of the Holsteins. 



Lantern slides were .shown of pictures 

 taken by Mr. Montague on his trip. 



We all appreciated the talk which Mr. 

 Montague gave and the lantern slides as 

 well. 



Respectfully Submitted, 

 Helen M. Sena, Secretary. 



LET THE LAMBS GAMBOL 



What is more delightful 

 than the enjoyment we get 

 from just watching lambs 

 gambolling on the greensward. 



All the healthy lambs gam- 

 bol on the green, but fewer 

 and fewer farmers gamble on 

 whether they will have any 

 green for the lambs. Present 

 knowledge makes it possible to 

 select seed adapted to climatic 

 conditions existing where it is 

 to be sown. 



The Eastern States Farm- 

 er's Exchange seed buying 

 service is selecting field seed 

 for a membership of more 

 than 22,000. It keeps in mind 

 constantly that farmers re- 

 quire producing power — free- 

 dom from noxious weeds, high 

 germination, the ability to pro- 

 duce big yields, freedom from 

 disease, and in the case of 

 alfalfa and clover winter 

 hardiness. 



By planting the seed their 

 Exchange selects for them, in- 

 dividual farmers take full ad- 

 vantage of the valuable re- 

 search work the Extension 

 service is carrying on. They 

 secure the economies of expert 

 seed selection through their 

 own buying staff, for this staff 

 makes it a point to procure for 

 farmers what farm experience 

 and experimental research 

 have provided to fit farmers 

 needs. 



On Eastern States farms 

 the chicks, calves, colts and 

 lambs gambol to their hearts' 

 content, growing to a strong, 

 ruggid maturity quickly and 

 economically because their 

 owners have learned to buy 

 their field seed requirements 

 through the Eastern States 

 Fanners' Exchange. 



Write for information and 

 prices on Eastern States Seed 

 Service.
