HAMPSHIRE COUNTY FARMERS' MONTHLY 



SIDE LIGHTS ON EXHIBITS 



For the first time in county history 

 two food clubs exhibited together. They 

 were at Hadley and both won banners. 



Four sewing and one poultry club from 

 Amher.st held a joint exhibit at M. A. C. 



Ware number 7 and Westhampton were 

 small exhibits but showed real club spirit. 



Bond.sville had the finest display of 

 sewing ever seen in the county. Three 

 types of dresses made by three grades 

 of club members were shown. There 

 were twenty-five in all. They were cer- 

 tainly a credit to the members and 

 leaders. 



Pelham held its exhibit at Packardville 

 in conjunction with a church supper. 

 All the rolls, butter and cookies for this 

 were made by the club members. A very 

 original play was given after the supper. 

 A truck load of Belchertown members at- 

 tended. 



East Amherst had a sewing club in- 

 stead of a food club this year. It was 

 very good. The handicraft was also good 

 though more simple than a year ago as 

 all were first year members. 



Williamsburg exhibit showed three pro- 

 jects: garment, handicraft and room. 

 This was by far the best exhibit ever 

 held in the tow'n. 



As usual South Amherst had excellent 

 work and a very original program. They 

 showed the work taught them on the use 

 of attachments of the machine by Mrs. 

 Lombard who is working with the H. D. A. 



The 22nd was an All-Belchertown Day 

 with exhibits at Dwight in the morning, 

 Cold Spring in the afternoon and the 

 Center at night. All these were excel- 

 lent. 



Huntington had three projects — food, 

 sewing and handicraft. 



Hatfield had two large sewing clubs 

 both winning banners. 



The best club uniform ever made in the 

 county was seen at Granby. 



Both the Cushman clubs won banners 

 this year. 



The North Hatfield club has more gar- 

 ments per girl than any other group. 



*"untiiiued from page 6. column 1 

 of Hadley, Mr. W. F. Howe, of Amherst, 

 Miss Boice, the County Home Demonstra- 

 tion Agent, and Miss Erhard, the Club 

 Agent. The following club members 

 from the county made the trip : Eunice 

 Doerpholz of BelchertowTi, William Cyga- 

 bon of Enfield, Earle Martin of Pelham, 

 Dennett and .John Howe, Beulah Harlow 

 of Amherst; Osborne West, Elizabeth 

 and Lyman Pratt, Lewis LaSalle, Lucy 

 Moore, John and Roger Barstow, Gordon 

 Cook of Hadley; Ralph Payson of West- 

 hampton, Alfred Bosworth of Easthamp- 

 ton ; Ward and William Harlow and Al- 

 fred Morey of Cummington; Lawson 

 Clark of Williamsburg and Christine 

 Osley of Hatfield. There was a still 

 larger delegation from Franklin County. 



CLOVER LEAVES 



A meeting of the farm management club 

 boys was held with Mr. MacDougall and 

 Mr. Farley at Smith School. This will 

 be the last one until September. Mr. 

 MacDougall especially emphasized the 

 keeping down of costs by doing your work 

 and using your help, most efficiently. 



Rachel Randall who has been raising 

 Berkshires has gone back to Chestei- 

 Whites. She has bought a young sow 

 from the college. 



State Club Leader George L. Farley 

 was the Speaker at Boys' and Girls' 

 Night at the Worthington Grange. 



Irving Clapp of Westhampton has just 

 bought a splendid Guernsey bred-heifer 

 from Mr. Whittemore of Lenox. 



Miss Elizabeth Nowlan has charge of 

 the garden work in Amherst. 



While visiting a club member the other 

 day the boy told this story. "I hot my 

 pullets last fall from a woman near here. 

 She kept the best ones and gave me the 

 worst ones. But I took care of them 

 I just the way the club bulletin said. My 

 ! pullets were soon giving me more eggs 

 than hers were. Pretty soon she came 

 over to my house to see how I took care 

 of mine. Now she doing the same way. 

 She's getting better production now". 

 That is true extension work. 



We might add that this year this boy 

 has bot some eggs from Purebred Stock, 

 so he will have the best pullets of the 

 hatch. What will his production be next 

 year? 



The premium list for the county fair 

 is already out. The dates of the fair 

 are October 2-3-4. The Second is the big 

 day. 



The program for Boys' and Girls' Day 

 is similar to last year. A more definite 

 account of this program will come out 

 in a later issue of this paper.
