SUMMER FIELD MEETING. 



The summer field meeting of the Board was held at 

 Barnstable, July 31 and August 1, in connection with the 

 State Grange. There was a splendid attendance; the day 

 was fine, and a few exhibits of f^irm tools and machinery 

 served to attract the people considerably. The International 

 Harvester Company made an especially interesting demon- 

 stration of tractor plowing, and the Ames Implement and 

 Seed Company also made an exhibit of farm machinery. 

 The following speakers presented subjects of interest to Cape 

 Cod : Prof. J. C. Graham on poultry and Dr. H. J. Franklin 

 on cranberries. 



The morning session was conducted by the Board, and the 

 afternoon session by the Grange. Many of the Board mem- 

 bers visited several of the cranberry bogs in the vicinity, 

 which are unusual sights to those living in the western part of 

 the State.
