be construed, however, as entailing any 

 binding obligation on the part of the 

 owner to complete all of the construction 

 if circumstances should intervene which 

 would make it impossible or impracticable. 

 It would be expected, however that is if 

 the buildings are constructed at all, the 

 plans furnished by the college will be fol- 

 lowed so that the finished buildings will 

 have a certain demonstration value. 



Up to the present time two detailed sets 

 of building plans have been prepared, one 

 of which, for Mr. C. E. Nuckley of West- 

 borough, Worcester County, has been car- 

 ried through to completion. The other in 

 Southampton, Hampshire County, will be 

 A. W. oICjCjUNo, Inc. bullt this coming spring. At the present 



time three other sets of plans are being 

 prepared for buildings to be erected 

 during the coming season. In addition 

 to these, numerous letters of advice have 

 been sent out, and blue prints of smaller 

 buildings, and septic tanks for county 



DICCni'O Tinr Olinn ^^wage disposal, have been distributed.

WESTHAMPTON WINS 



Clapp, Poultry Champion 



After all the records and accounts of 

 all the poultry members in the County has 

 been carefully tabulated and gone over, 

 Mr. Nodine, State Poultry Club leader, 

 awarded the championship. Irving Clapp 

 of Westhampton, and his Rhode Island 

 Reds won. Clapp is a member of the 

 Smith School Poultry club. He buys 

 over 200 birds, but had a pen of 10 

 entered in the poultry club. He got an 

 average of 115 eggs per bird and made 

 a profit of $.3.47 per bird. 



Clapp is now running a disease control 

 demonstration for the County Agent. He 

 is also getting figures on caponizing work, 

 as his club had a demonstration at his 

 plant in June. 



.Joseph Champion of Amherst won 

 second place in the county. Chas. Scott 

 of Belchertown did mighty good work and 

 is therefore given honorable mention. 



There are many new spring enrollments 

 in the poultry club, so there should be 

 many more and better poultry clubs in 

 the county next year. 



Honorable mention is hereby made of 

 the Hadley Poultry Club which is a ban- 

 ner winner, so has a gold seal for its 

 charter for 1922.

Poultry Ideas Briefly Stated 



It's the hen that's always cacklin' 



That's doin' most o' the work. 

 The one that preens her feathers 



Is pretty sure to shirk. 

 If a flock is busy layin'. 



The farmer's bein' paid; 

 But the workers delay their moultin' 



An' can't go out on parade.
