AROUND THE COUNTY 



With Club Folks 



Many of the Hampshire County Poul- 

 try Club Members will exhibit at the 

 Eastern States Exposition next Septem- 

 ber. About the only requirement is to 

 have some mature pullets and to enter 

 them before September 1st. This will be 

 a worth while exhibit for a number of 

 reasons : 



1. It is a state exhibit. 



2. Exhibitors go to the Exposition for 



one day and one night. 



They spend the night at the poultry 

 camp near Camp Vail. 



The expense will be only transpor- 

 tation. 



3. The prizes offered are good. 



See the club agent about entering birds. 



The N orthampton Fnir — young folks — 

 there's where Club Work must shine. 

 Get ready for it. The early bird catches 

 the worm. Pick out your best pullets, 

 groom up that heifer, put up .=ome nice 

 jars of canned goods, .shine up the handi- 

 craft, hoe up the garden. Don't wear 

 out your last winter's sewing — plan for 

 your club exhibit at the club building. 



The EfistJinnij/tott poultry club listened 

 to Mr. Nodine's talk on culling on .July 

 15th and then proceeded to help cull 

 Reverend J. L. Findley's flock of 60 Reds.
