A Business Bank for 



Business Farmers 



This is a message for business 

 fanners — for those j)rogressive

 that to get profits from farming 

 there must be knowledge not only 

 of crops, but of markets, of prices, 

 of soil treatment, of other factors. 



This bank's primary object is to 

 help farmers of this section to pros- 

 per. Our complete banking facili- 

 ties and" our dependable sources of 

 information valuable to fai'mers are

Besides learning what the body needs 

 and must have to be healthy we learned 

 to save time preparing our food. We 

 learned how to control our weight and 

 how to score the eating habits of our 

 families. It is less trouble to plan meals 

 when you know what you should eat. 



I wish I could tell you all how much 

 benefit I received from this meal plan- 

 ning cour.se. I would like to see evei-y 

 town in Hampshire County take this 

 course this year. It makes for better 

 homes, better citizens, and what is more 

 important, safeguards the health of our 

 future citizens — Our Children. 



DIAGNOSIS OF POULTRY 



DISEASE 



Change in College Policy made necessary 

 by excessive Demands 



The Veterinary Department of the 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College has ,' 

 for many years made diagnosis of poultry ' 

 di^ea.ses free of charge. With the in- 

 creased demand for this sei-s'ice, it has 

 been necessary for those in charge of 

 this service to work nights and Sundays 

 in an effort to maintain their high stand- 

 ard of work. No provision for this 

 amount of work was made in either the 

 plans of the Veterinary Department or 

 the budget of the college. The bills are 

 at present being paid by the Experiment 

 Station. The worst part of the matter 

 is that important research work must be 

 delayed or slighted as Dr. Pyle has not 

 the time left for it after doing the diag- 

 nostic woi'k. 



To relieve this situation the following- 

 measures seem necessary: 



To meet the demand for poultry disease 

 diagnosis now being made on the veterin- 

 ary department, the following program 

 has been drawn up : 



1. For three months, beginning May 

 1, 1924, examinations and reports will be 

 made and rendered only when specimens 

 are submitted through official channels, 

 defined as follows: 



(a) Duly qualified veterinarians prac- 

 tising and residing in Massachusetts. 



(b) County agi'icultural agents in 

 Massachusetts. 



(c) Institutional staff members of this 

 college in their official capacity. 



2. For three months, beginning May 

 1, 1924, a charge of $3 shall be levied 

 fcir each report of diagnostic work, ex- 

 cept for diagnosis made under provisions 

 of the White Diarrhoea Conti'ol appro- 

 piiations, such charges to be paid in ad- 

 vance. 



A temporally diagnostician is now being 

 sought. If revenues cover the cost, and 

 , the success of the work warrants it, an 

 j Extension veterinarian will be .sought.
