CHELMSFORD
The following is a report of the work of the Middlesex County Extension Ser- vice in the town of Chelmsford for the year 1942.
Assistance was given the Federal Milk Market Administrator in a survey of all milk trucking routes in the town. Dairy farmers were assisted in planning for increased milk production, thru improvement of pastures, by use of lime and superphosphate, the seeding of Ladino clover and rotation grazing of pastures.
Edwin Warren, Theodore Emerson, Andrew Boumil, and Andrew Blaisdell had their herds in the Dairy Herd Improvement Association; Robert Moore and James E. Reardon had their herds in the Herd Health Association.
Chelmsford poultrymen have been assisted in disease control, production problems, and record keeping by individual farm, visits and circular material. Pou- Itry meetings were held in the Town Hall in March and December, at which meetings poultry ranges; brooding; poultry house ventilation; disease control; and war- time poultry farm management were discussed.
The Home Department conducted a canning demonstration to show the newer practices and methods of food preservation. The Home Demonstration Agent assisted in judging the handwork and flowers at the Grange Fair.
Eighty-four boys and girls were enrolled in 4-H Club work and carried on activities in clothing, food, handicraft, poultry, dairy, canning, and gardening. These clubs were under the supervision of Miss Barbara Noon; Mrs. A. H. Russell; Mrs. Frank Pearson, Miss Pearl Koulas; Miss Julia Koulas; Mrs. Lilla M. Dexter; Verne Woodard; George Pedersen; Percy Beardsley; W. G. Hannon and Bernard French. Mrs. Percy Beardsley was chairman of the committee sponsoring 4-H Club work in Chelmsford.
Two club members attended Camp Middlesex in Ashby. George Pedersen was a delegate to the State Camp at Amherst. The Parlee brothers were fourth in the commercial garden class and the Straughan Partnership was fourth in the home garden class in the Middlesex North Garden Contest.
The Victory Garden Program was initiated thru the Chelmsford Garden Com- mittee.
Spray notices were mailed throughout the season to aid the fruit growers in producing one of the largest and cleanest apple crops on record.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Boy Scout Troup #313, North Chelmsford and the American Legion Post #313, North Chelmsford for their presentation of a Police boat last spring. It is greatly appreciated by the Department.
I would also like to thank the Board of Selectmen for their splendid cooperation during the year, my brother officers and Miss Christina N. Simpson for their excellent service, the Auxiliary Police for their fine work, and the citizens of Chelmsford for the confidence they have placed in me.
Respectfully submitted,
Ralph J. Hulslander Chief of Police
REPORT OF POLICEWOMAN
Mr. Ralph Hulslander, Chief of Police: Dear Sir:
I hereby submit a report of my duties as policewoman for the year 1942:
Cases investigated at request of Police. 4
Lectures in regard to behavior. 18
Cases investigated upon complaint to policewoman .. 11 Assisted officer taking women patients to Worcester 3 Visits to homes in regard to various police cases. . 24 Consultations with Chief of Police. 30 Consultation with policewomen of Lowell 1
The duties of the policewoman are gradually increasing, due probably somewhat to a change in economic conditions. I believe that the Chief of Police is aware of this. I hope to be able to devote additional time to this program, which will be for the best interests of the townspeople. I wish to thank Chief Hulslander and other members of the department for their cooperation and assistance during the year.
Respectfully submitted, Christina N. Simpson, R. N. Policewoman
