During the past year the Extension Service has been called upon to fill a more important place in Plymouth County than ever before. Narrow margins of profit have made the best farm- ing practices of utmost importance, hundreds of families have turned to agriculture as a help toward their support. Home- makers have felt more than ever the need to buy foods and clothing to the best advantage and to make the most satisfactory use of materials at hand.
The Extension Service has been called upon increasingly by those feeling the pressure of present conditions to teach methods by which established farmers may continue to make a profit. new men entering the field may avoid unnecessary mis- takes and families may use their resources to the best advan- tage. Boys and girls, through membership in 4-H clubs, have learned to assist in meeting the problems of their parents and have found pleasure and profit in doing so.
During the year 7.300 different people received advice and help from the Extension Service. 711 meetings were held with a total attendance of 24.222. 77.099 circular letters were mailed. 5.103 telephone calls received. Farm and home visits totaled 1.227 and office calls 1.243. There were 531 women enrolled in homemaking projects and 1,352 boys and girls in the 4-H clubs. These clubs held 1.215 meetings with a total attendance of 20 .- 430.
The following report tells briefly some of the ways in which this work directly affected the citizens of Scituate. Its results cannot be readily expressed in figures.

Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture
Three agricultural meetings were held in Scituate during 1932. All were well attended. Prof. Monahan spoke on poultry and egg production. Prof. Donaldson spoke on fertilizers and soil management and tested a number of soil samples that were brought in, and Prof. Thies conducted a pruning demonstration in the orchard at Bulrush Farm.
Personal visits were paid to individual farmers to give advice on special questions. Fifty-six men received regularly letters and circulars on pest control, spraying, crop production and the management of poultry and livestock. The farm of G. H. Brungardt was visited on the county poultry tour and many of the agricultural meetings held in other towns were attended by Scituate farmers.
HOME DEMONSTRATION WORK
A three-meeting unit of work in food selection and prepara- tion and a home management unit were completed in this town. One of the clothing : novation one-day schools was conducted here.
We have seventy names on our mailing list of women who have received information in child training, canning, and general home subjects.

Report of the Clean-Up Committee
REPORT OF THE CLEAN-UP COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Scituate:
The Clean-Up Committee was appointed by Moderator William J. Roberts, and immediately upon organization started to work. The annual clean-up of rubbish was conducted during the week of May 9-14. The town was divided into three districts, and collectors did a very satisfactory and efficient piece of work
Cans were placed in various parts of the town and were well cared for by one of our High School graduates, who used the money he received for furthering his education.
The Committee is grateful for the distribution of notices by the school children. the advertising of the local papers, the splen did cooperation of the pastors of the various churches and to the Satuit Playhouse for its announcements. as well as to the citizens of the town for their helpfulness in making Clean-Up Week a .success.
You will note by our financial statement that we kept well within our appropriation, and in these days of economy we are glad to report that we had a substantial balance on the right side of the ledger.
Your committee suggests for the future welfare of the com munity that the Moderator appoint a committee to continue the good work of keeping our town clean.
Respectfully submitted.
