COUNTY CLUB WORK 



LEARN YOUR STATE SONGS 



AND CHEERS 



Every boy and gii! in the county should 

 get right to work learning the club songs 

 and cheers. Practice them as you work, 

 sing them at your club meetings, sing 

 them to your families, but be sure you 

 learn them. We have only a few at 

 present, others may come later. You 

 can easily learn these four and I am sure 

 you will like them. 



Time — "Solomon Levi" 

 Her name is MASSACHUSETTS and we 



cheer her with a will. 

 No matter what may ever come 

 To her we're loyal still. 

 We bake, we cook, we can, we hoe, 

 Our work it all is play. 

 For boys' and girls' 4-H Club work 

 In our State has come to .stay. 



Chorus 

 Oh, MASSACHUSETTS! 

 Glory and honor to thee. 

 Oh, MASSACHUSETTS! 

 Loyal and loving are we. 

 We love our big republic 

 With its country all so fine, 

 But of all the States in all the world 

 It's the old BAY STATE for mine. 



Tune — "Have a Smile" 

 The 4-H Clubs most gladly welcome you 

 To hear and see the things we do 

 Head, heart, hand and health all strive to

 To give our better's best to you.

 To can, and bake, to sew and rake 

 And think and plan, 

 To strive to make our better best 

 All ways we can.

 Of 4-H Club so tried and true.

r»ne— "Where Do Wo Go from Here?" 

 Where do we go from here, girls, 

 When our work is done? 

 Anywhere from M. A. C. to dear old 



Washington. 

 And when we've done our very best, 

 ".Sticktuit" till the end. 

 Oh, joy? Oh, boy? Where are we going 

 then?

CLUB PIG PARADES 



ON FOURTH OF JULY 



South Amherst Boy puts Club Work 

 in Line 



Hubert Barton, .Jr., a wide awake pig 

 club member from South Amherst, helped 

 enliven the Fourth of -July celebration in 



1 Amherst by having his pig in line. 



I Hubert built a crate and set it on a 

 wagon, and after properly labelling and 

 decorating the exhibit, it was carted 

 through the streets of Amherst, making 

 a live advertisement of the fact that there 

 is a pig club in Amherst. 



EASTHAMPTON GARDENS 



GROOMED FOR JUDGING 



Under the supervision of Mr. Merritt, 

 principal of the Center Grammar School, 

 the Easthampton garden project has been 

 going ahead with the usual success. 



The County Leader in judging the 

 gardens recently found many that were 

 excellent some being especially groomed 

 for the occasion. 



South Hadley Falls has a garden pro- 

 ject that shows improvement over past 

 seasons' work. Supervisor, J. C. Folsom 

 asked the County Leader to judge the 

 best of them and they show a decided 

 improvement in size and care. Peanuts 

 are a favorite crop in South Hadley and 

 in some gardens tobacco was found grow- 

 ing. 



The County Leader recently received 

 the following letter from a Polish boy 

 on Mt. Tom Island. 



On his first visit the club leader told 

 the boy that the next time he came the 

 piece would be measured to determine the 

 aci'eage. You may be sure the job was 

 done. 

 ("Dear Sir: 



"Will you please come Tuesday after- 

 ; noon at 2 o'clock, and bring your measure 

 >vith you. 



"Please come for sure. I am glad that 

 you are going to help me to Bolek Oliwa." 



Your Bolek.

County Champions Have Lively Time 



One full week of pure, unadulterated 

 fun was the program for the prize win- 

 ners at their camp at M. A. C. last month. 



Hampshire County champions were 

 there in force. The rainy weather damp- 

 ened no ones spirits, and it cleared off 

 in time for each member to pose before 

 a moving picture camera. There were 

 lectures and demonstrations, judging 

 contests, ball games, swimming holes and 

 vaudeville shows which the winners all 

 took part in. Hampshire County winners 

 at M. A. C. were: 



Mildred McKemmie, South Amherst, 

 Canning Club; Henry Kokoski, Hadley, 

 Potato Club; Roger Johnson, Hadley, 

 Corn Club; Horace Brockway, .Jr., South 

 Hadley, Pig Club; Luther Beals, Goshen, 

 Sow and Litter Club; Mary Yarrows, 

 Hadley, Sewing Club; Leslie Kelley, 

 Amherst, Bread Club; Blanch Haesaert, 

 Belchertown, Bread Club; Evelyn Pease, 

 Southampton, Sewing Club. 



PIG CLUB GOSSIP 



Again my first thought is your record. 

 Don't fatigue yourself carrying it around 

 in your brain, set it down in your record 

 book, then you can and you can't forget 

 it. 



Are you increasing the feed for your 

 growing pig? You expect him to grow 

 fast, he can't unless you feed him lib- 

 erally. 



No one feed is sufficient for a pig. To 

 make good, economical growth, he must 

 have variety, two or more feeds. Stick 

 to the growing feeds for another two 

 months, milk, middlings, shorts, fine feed, 

 ground oats, tankage, fish meal, plenty 

 of green stulT and a little corn. 



I heard a pig tale the other day. 

 Farmer had a pig out in a pasture with 

 absolutely no shade. Hot spell came 

 along and pig laid down and died. Pig 

 Club member next door had a pig in 

 pasture but had provided shade and the 

 pig came through the hot weather all 

 0. K. I hope all pig club members have 

 got a shade on this fai'mer. 



If there are lice on your hogs it is 

 costing you 1 or 2 cents more per pound 

 to grow pork. So far as I know no one 

 pays any premium for pork produced by 

 a lousy hog. It's absolute loss and any 

 oil or grease will stop it. (See Primer).
