 HAMPSHIRE: COUNTY CLUB WORK 



SOUTH HADLEY KNOWS AND 

 SEES MORE ABOUT CLUB WORK 



Cutnmington People Also Entertained 



Mr. E. M. Burnette, town club leader 

 in South Hadley, was instrumental in ar- 

 ranging the program for an enthusiastic 

 community meeting at which Professor 

 Farley sounded the keynote for club 

 work in that town. Two motion picture 

 films on Pig Club Work and Canning 

 Club work were heartily enjoyed. The 

 meeting was one of the most successful 

 held so far this year, and promises a 

 bright season in club work for South 

 Hadley. 



A few nights before Mr. Howe from 



GREENWICH GIRLS KNOW HOW 



TO MAKE GOOD BREAD 



Miss Norris Finds Little Need For 

 Demonstration 



The Greenwich Bread Club asked Miss 

 Norris to come and give a demonstration 

 in bread making. The club was probably 

 looking for a chance to demonstrate to 

 Miss Norris its ability to make bread, for 

 when she arrived she was confronted by 

 seven of the best looking loaves of bread 

 that ever came out of an oven. 



The State Leader certainly found very 

 little to do in the way of demonstrating, 

 so a very profitable part of the hour was 

 spent in judging the bread, each girl's 



the Massachusetts Agricultural College . loaf being criticized so that each member 

 showed the same films to the people in [ had a chance to see wherein her loaf ! 

 Cummington after the church supper, could be made better. 

 These meetings are steps in the com- 

 munity program of club work, and are 

 held primarily to create an understand- 

 ing in town as to what Junior Extension 

 Work stands for.

WARE BOYS INTERESTED 



IN RABBITS 



A group of boys in Ware promise to 

 have one of the most unique clubs in the 

 County, when they organize a rabbit club 

 next week. Pigs, calves, or chickens 

 aren't in it as far as fun and profit go 

 according to these lads who have recently 

 been buying their stock and getting 

 started. 



Rabbits have a distinct value as a meat 

 especially the larger breeds, as Flemish 

 Giants and Belgian Hares. The work of 

 their club will be interesting to watch. 



contest for the winner will have a chance 

 at the prize camp in Amherst this sum- 

 mer. 



GOSHEN HOME ECONOMICS 



CLUB COMPOSES NEW SONG 



The Goshen club has made a new con- 

 tribution to the ever increasing volume of 

 Club literature. The girls of the club 

 have composed the following song, which 

 gives a good idea of the enthusiasm these 

 girls and boys too, are putting into club 

 work. 



Dorothy Bissell is club president, 

 Minnie Richardson, Vice-President, and 

 Josephine Hathaway, Secretary. 



CLUB SONG 



(Tune "Keep the Home Fires Burning") 



Keep the needles flying 



And keep on trying 



To win the Economics .banner for your 



club 

 When you do your darning 

 You must keep on learning 

 And get the first prize for your club, 



Ah-ra-ra-ta-ta-ta 



Keep the mixer whirling 



Keep the bread a-twirling 



Make the best you can for company for 



tea, 

 Make a little cake 

 The worst part is to bake 

 But when it's done 

 Your ready for the fun to help to eat 



that cake. 



Come and see us darning 



Come and see us patching 



Come and see the best of all which is to 



cook 

 H is our letter 

 To make best better 

 Our name is "Work and Win," Ah-ra-ta- 



ta-ta. 



SOUTHAMPTON BOY SCOUTS 

 INTERESTED IN PIGS AND CALVES 



The County Leader was invited over to 

 a meeting of the Southampton Boy 

 Scouts recently to explain some of the 

 interesting points of club work. Con- 

 siderable interest was shown in pig and 

 calf club work, and it is quite likely that 

 under the leadership of Mr. Edward 

 Stone and Mr. Rood, a boys' agricultural 

 club will be formed. 



MASTER OF STATE GRANGE 

 DONATES PRIZES 



FOR CLUB WORK 



Leslie R. Smith has asked the County 

 Leader to figure out how one ton of fer- 

 tilizer can best be awarded as prizes for 

 the best work in corn, potato and garden 

 club work. This is a worth while addi- 

 tion to the assortment of prizes now 

 available, and no doubt but what it will 

 be fully appreciated. Announcements 

 as to its method of distribution will be 

 made later. 



Boys' and girls' club work is designed 

 to change the point of view of the boys 

 and girls, both rural and urban, of Amer- 

 ica so that they will want to make further 

 preparation and study in the business of 

 farming and home-making, and will see 

 the need of taking the Smith-Hughes vo- 

 cational courses in agriculture and home 

 economics, and matriculating for courses 

 in colleges of agriculture. 



Tomorrow 



"Tomorrow I will go into pure-breds." 



And he gazed with dreamy eyes 

 Toward the misty clouds that were tinged 



with pink 

 From the glow of the western skies. 

 "And I'll show the big, indifferent world 

 How a good herd wins its way!" 

 But the prize he sought was won by the 



man 

 Who started his herd today. ^Exchange. 

 Lots of boys in club work have made the 



start already. 



The Other Way About 



"I see you are keeping a cow." 

 "Wrong, neighbor, wrong, she's keepin' 

 me."^ — Hoard's Dairyman. 



When things look blue in the dairy 

 business, buy a cow like this one adver- 

 tised in a western paper: "For sale: A 

 Guernsey cow; gives a good quality of 

 milk, also hay, rope, pulleys and small 

 refrigerator."
