REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE IN WAYLAND FOR THE YEAR 1935


Interest in dairying is advancing. A few farmers who feel that diversification is about the only way to insure them- selves a comfortable living are turning to dairying to supple- ment their present activities. This is true of other agricultural centres. Assistance has been given these farmers to plan their milk houses and stables. Efforts have been made to help them secure a market.


Green manure crops, emergency hay crops, growing of legumes and rotation of pastures have been discussed with interested farmers and definite recommendations have been made.


Poultrymen have been assisted in planning new construc- tion for proper ventilation and comfort. Plans have been sub- mitted for remodelling of old houses. Assistance has been given on farm credit by furnishing detailed information on its source.


Nine visits were made to fruit growers and three to mar- ket gardeners. Soil investigations are being carried on in one orchard.


Spray warning service was given to 30 fruit growers and 31 market gardeners.


During 1935 organized groups in Wayland were located in the following sections: Wayland Center, Cochituate-North Natick, Plain Street, Main Street and Pemberton Road.


Four of these groups studied the "Home Grounds Im- provement", a course on improving home grounds. Three groups studied the packing of a good school lunch, and three took the series of meetings on the making of cotton dresses.


189


At present, the five groups are enrolled in the home fur- nishing course and plan to go on with nutrition in the spring.


Three single meetings were held in Wayland in the past year. The Wayland P. T. A. asked for a talk on "Food Facts"; the Cochituate Mothers' Club had a talk on "Consumer Prob- lems"; and the Cochituate P. T. A. had a talk on "Home- making".


Many Cochituate homemakers belong to the Cochituate- North Natick Mothers' Club. This group of fifty women is in its tenth year. They have carried the Extension Service pro- gram ever since they were organized. This club carried a course in "Guiding the Pre-School Child" and also the Homemakers' program including meetings on good school lunches, gardening, and the making of cotton dresses.


Mr. Arnold M. Davis conducted a series of three meetings in the Out-door Living Room project for the Cochituate Gar- den Club. An average of 58 attended these three meetings.


4-H clubs in Wayland were clothing, Mrs. Joseph Decatur and Miss Dorothy Decatur, leaders; canning, Mrs. Charles Harrington, leader. There were individual members in the food and garden projects.


In Cochituate there was a junior homemaking group (Mrs. Ino Heggen, leader ; clothing, Mrs. Edwin Dayton, Miss Rita Bennett and Mrs. Burke; two garden groups, Elmer Bigwood and Mrs. Heggen; conservation, Ena and Chloe Tillson and individual members in canning and poultry. Plans for these projects were made by the town committee, Mrs. Joseph Decatur, chairman.


Dorothy Decatur, selected as the outstanding girl in the county in clothing work, received a trip to State Camp in Amherst. She completed her eighth year of 4-H clothing work and her second year of leadership.


Rita Bennett, Marie Hammond, and George Toohill won a two-day trip to the State College in Amherst. Mrs. Joseph Decatur, Mrs. Ino Heggen, and Mrs. Mary Costello attended the State local leaders camp in Amherst; and Miss Ena Tillson spent a week at the 4-H conservation camp there.

Aided by Federal money the brush was cut and burned on the Wayland Park in the center of the town. Aided by the men on the E. R. A. we kept the grass cut and trimmed in the center of the town, greatly improving the looks of the town.


On the Cochituate Ball Park we tried a few times to have it fixed by men on the Welfare and also men on the E. R. A., but for some reason or other the men were taken off the job after starting work on the baseball diamond.


Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE WAYLAND WATER BOARD


To the Inhabitants of the Town of Wayland :


The Board organized with Walter S. Bigwood, Chairman, Alfred C. Damon, Secretary and Collector, Alfred A. Lamarine, reappointed Superintendent, and Louis Pettigrew, reappointed Engineer.


Approximately 4,152 ft. of 6-inch cast iron pipe has been installed with E. R. A. labor, of which 1,752 ft. on Loker St. the material was furnished by the Shaw estate.


There are several sections of the town which are being supplied by 11/2-inch and 2-inch galvanized pipe, with no fire protection. This pipe has been in use 15 to 20 years and it is time the Town gave some thought to the replacing of these mains.


The Board has filed a number of these projects for labor with the W. P. A. authorities and they have been accepted.


You will find several articles in the Town Warrant asking for the appropriation of various sums of money to cover the cost of material for the above projects.


We hope that these articles will meet with your approval and money will be appropriated for the same.


WALTER S. BIGWOOD, Chairman, ALFRED C. DAMON, Clerk, GEORGE G. BOGREN.

195


.


Notice was received from Loring P. Jordan, Register of Probate Court, Commonwealth of Massachusetts in regard to estate of Cornelia J. Bent, late of Wayland. Said notice advises of the appoint- ment of William H. Fay of Peabody as executor of said Cornelia J. Bent's will. Said notice was January 14, 1935.


William H. Fay advises that Cornelia J. Bent has left $200 to Town of Wayland to establish perpetual care of her burial lot.


By December 31, 1935 funds totaled $19,550.00; income from which will be used in care of the funded lots.


From sale of burial lots, $125.00, has been turned over to the Town of Wayland to be re-appropriated to our use.


Your Commissioners hope to be able to improve the interior appearance of the Tomb, now in Lake View Cemetery, this coming year.


As the picket fence, and wire fence has entirely rotted away, between the North Cemetery and land of W. S. Lowell we hope to replace these.


The Commissioners would call to the attention of the citi- zens of Wayland that when a sum of money is given to the Town for Perpetual Care of a specific burial lot the income can be spent for said purpose only. If the gift is accompanied by a request for floral decorations as well, then and then only can the income be spent for same. Bequests have to be followed out, in expending the income, as designated in the deceased's will.
