HAMPSHIRE COUNTY FARMERS' MONTHLY 



A Business Bank for 



Business Farmers 



This is a message for business 

 farmers — for those progressive 

 crop and cattle raisers who know 

 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 farmers are 

 at your disposal. 



We'll be glad to serve you.

penditure of her time, strength and 

 money in procuring the clothes for the 

 family and toward a feeling of satisfac- 

 tion in those clothes, this project has its 

 purpose: to give the women greater 

 confidence in using the guide pattern and 

 teach further possibilities of its use; to 

 teach simple and efficient methods of mak- 

 ing garments of cotton, silk and wool and 

 to set good standards of workmanship as 

 well as having these garments attractive. 

 Also to make intelligent comparisons be- 

 tween readymado and home made cloth- 

 ing and to help in their wise selection 

 through a study of color, line and materi- 

 als. 



To aid in caiTying out this, project two 

 garments will be cut from the guide pat- 

 tern and made — an undergarment and a 

 dre.ss. 



Work of First Meeting 



Most of the work done at the first meet- 

 ing was the checking up of the guide 

 patterns which were made two years ago 

 in the 2A project and have been in use 

 ever since that time. In some cases, 

 where the form has changed a great deal, 

 an entirely new guide pattern was sug- 

 gested. The first garment to be made is 

 an undergarment and some time was 

 spent on the .study of the different kinds 

 of materials that are being used this 

 season for that purpose, also different 

 types of seams and fini.shes found on such 

 garments. 



Miss Tucker had a fine exhibit of 

 ready made and home made undergar- 

 ments which showed the use of the dif- 

 ferent materials, the proper seams, edg- 

 ings and trimmings to use on each. At 

 the next meeting different styles of un- 

 dergarments will be cut, using the guide 

 pattern.

POULTRY ACCOUNT 



SUMMARY 



Fifteen poultrymen in the county sent 

 in a report of their business in October. 

 The records .show that we have the flock 

 producing the highest number of eggs 

 per bird in the state. The honor goes to 

 Mr. and Mrs. .J. Raymond Gould of 

 Belchertown. Their record was made 

 with early hatched pullets from good 

 stock. The birds were raised in a new 

 brooder house on new land. The M. A. C. 

 system of feeding was used with highly 

 satisfactory results. As this is the first 

 year that the Goulds have had any 

 number of chicks, we lay their success to 

 the points brought out above rather than 

 to years of experience. It illustrated the 

 whole point of our disease control w'ork.
