THE FARMERS' MONTHLY, AUGUST, 1928 



Thirty-Six Animals 



Entered At Eastern States 



On August 3 thirty-six pure bred ani- 

 mals had been entered by nineteen boys 

 and girls in the Junior Dairy Camp at 

 the Eastern States Exposition. 



The young people are all members of 

 the Hampshire County Dairy Club and if 

 their animals are accepted, will be allowed 

 to attend the Exposition during the entire 

 week, their meals and a place to sleep be- 

 ing furnished by the Exposition at no cost 

 to the members. 



As usual in Hampshire County, the 

 Holstein breed predominates in numbers, 

 at least, with nineteen animals entered by 

 nine members, the Jerseys second with 

 twelve animals entered by five members 

 and five members entering one Guernsey 

 each. 



Some day during the latter part of 

 August Professor C. J. Fawcett and the 

 Club Agent will visit each entry and de- 

 cide at that time whether or not the ani- 

 mal is of a quality that will be accepted 

 by the Exposition Management.

COUNTY AND STATE 



CHAMPS ATTEND CAMP 



GILBERT AT M. A. C. 



Over 150 county and state champions 

 and local club leaders from every county 

 in Massachusetts attended this year's 

 Camp Gilbert at the Massachusetts Agri- 

 cultural College, July 20 to 27. 



The above picture shows five of the 

 eight champions who attended the whole 

 week at camp. Subject matter instruction 

 as well as instructions in recreation and 

 inspirational talks and camp fires made 

 up most of the program in which these 

 young people took part. 



Each forenoon the entire camp was 

 divided into five groups, according to 

 their interest: Home economics. Poultry, 

 Handicraft, Gardening and Live Stock. 

 Each group met separately from nine to 

 twelve o'clock and heard speakers and 

 demonstrations put on by members of the 

 M. A. C. faculty and state extension staff. 



In the afternoon one hour was spent 

 with Miss Fannie Buckanan of the Victor 

 Talking Machine Co., who gave intere.st- 

 ing and instructive talks on Music. An- 

 other hour which will not be easily for- 

 gotten was spent each afternoon with 

 John Bradford of the Playground Asso- 

 ciation of America. Mr. Bradford had a 

 most complete program of quiet games, 

 active games, folk dances, etc., that the 

 young people reli.shed immensely. 



Mo.st of the evenings were devoted to 

 camp fires in the quiet "ravine" in the 



center of the campus. Here three even- 

 ings were spent singing songs, doing 

 "stunts," hearing speakers, etc., ai-ound 

 a small camp fire. 



Three of our county champions were 

 not pi'esent when the pictures were taken. 

 Oranier Diamant of Huntington, Clothing 

 Champion and Stanley Misterka of 

 Northampton, Garden Champion were not 

 able to attend camp at all during the week 

 and Dana Gollenbusch of Pelham, Food 

 Champion, was able to be present only 

 one day. 



Local Leaders Attend 



In addition to the county and state 

 champions in attendance, there were 

 about 50 local leaders present all or pai't 

 of the week. 



Five adult leaders were present from 

 Hampshire County: Miss B. A. Ryan of 

 Russellville, Hadley, who enjoyed the 

 distinction of having the longest record 

 of leadership (13 years) of any leader 

 present; Mrs. Aaron Scott of No. Hadley, 

 who was attending for the .second time; 

 Miss Alice Collins of Packardville, Pel- 

 ham; Mrs. L. E. Walsh of Amherst, who 

 is a leader in Cushman; and Mr. J. A. 

 Sturges of Easthampton, who was unable 

 to attend but one day. 



MOSQUITOES 



God made the star-hung skies for us, 

 And singing trees and hills and lakes. 



Of course He made mosquitoes too — 

 But everybody makes mistakes. 



—Cheerful Cherub.
