SUMMER FIELD MEETING. 



The Summer Field Meeting of the Board was held on June 

 10, 1915, at Pines Stock Farm, Leominster, the summer home 

 of Mr. L. L. Richardson, president of the Worcester North 

 Agricultural Society. Mr. Richardson is making, a specialty of 

 breeding coach and trotting horses, and so the question of horse 

 raising was made a special feature of the day. Professor J. A. 

 McLean of the Agricultural College spoke on raising farm 

 horses, and Mr. Richardson exhibited some of his prize winners. 

 Dr. Burton N. Gates, State Inspector of Apiaries, gave a talk 

 and demonstration on handling bees, and Mr. F. A. Brady, 

 representing the Association of Portland Cement Manufacturers, 

 gave a talk on the use of concrete. 



A contest in judging farm horses was held for both men and 

 boys, and there was a demonstration of plowing by two differ- 

 ent makes of farm tractors. There was an attendance of about 

 300 farmers with their families.
