FERTILIZER POOL 



Wholesale Prices Offered Farmers 



Last year the Eastern States Farmers' 

 Exchange ran a successful fertilizer pool 

 whereby farmers effected a real saving. 

 This year plans are already undei- way 

 for a larger and better pool. By pur- 

 chasing through the pool, individual far- 

 mers will reap the benefit of a minimum 

 price based upon a maximum purchase 

 which should not be less than 1.5,000 tons. 



Only materials of the highest quality 

 will be purchased and the contract for 

 the total tonnage will be placed with 

 reliable manufacturers. The pool closes 

 December .31, so those who wish to par- 

 ticipate should write the Eastern States 

 Farmers' Exchange, Springfield, Mass., 

 at once for contract and particulars. 



COUNTY AGENT'S REPORT 



Some of the Reasons Why You Have 

 Not Seen Him 



Many farmers of Hampshire County 

 have never seen the County agent and 

 perhaps wonder if there is any such ani- 

 mal. These f ai mers never attended com- 

 munity meetings, do not take the Far' 

 mers' Mont hit/ and perhaps do not be- 

 lieve anything can be done for them. If 

 you are one of them and have problems, 

 why not attend community meetings and 

 make the fact known and see whether we 

 can do anything for you. The following 

 are some of the things which have taken 

 our time. 



Community meetings in fourteen towns; 

 extension schools in three towns; seven- 

 teen towns with programs of work. 

 Work with the Community markets in 

 Northampton and Holyoke to make these 

 of greater help to producers and consu- 

 mer alike. Cooperating with the Wil- 

 liamsburg Fruit Growers in all possible 

 ways. Cooperating with the Western 

 Hampshire Farmei's Exchange to make 

 this organization a success. Work with 

 Tobacco Growers' Association and Milk 

 Producer's Association.
