SUMMER FIELD MEETING. 



The summer field meeting of the Board was held at the 

 Hood Farm, Lowell, on June 24. About 600 farmers with 

 their families who attended saw and heard an interesting 

 program. In the forenoon Winthrop Fillebrown of Bryant- 

 ville gave a demonstration of ditching and subsoiling with 

 dynamite, and H. L. Frost of Arlington demonstrated summer 

 spraying. There was also a stock judging contest and A. E. 

 Briggs, Secretary of the Boston Fruit and Produce Exchange, 

 spoke on '' Marketing Farm and Garden Products." 



At the afternoon session Professor F. C. Minkler of New 

 Brunswick, New Jersey, gave a talk on "^'Profitable Pork 

 Production," and Winthrop Fillebrown gave a demonstration 

 on blasting stumps and rocks. A continuous demonstration of 

 the Skinner Irrigation system, an exhibit of parcel post pack- 

 ages and farm machinery, and the opportunity to see one of 

 the best herds of Jersey cattle in the world, all added to the 

 interest of the day.
