Marketing problems and those of farm finance have been even more pressing than those of production. The Extension Service has devoted much time and effort to- ward the solution of those difficulties, both with individual

farmers and with county-wide groups of dairymen, poul- l'ymen and others.
The following report tells briefly some of the ways in which the work affected the citizens of Scituate.
Personal visits were paid to fourteen individual farm- ers to give advice or information on particular problems. Others received information by telephone or personal let- ter or through calling at the office in Brockton. All farm- ers in town received regularly letters and circulars giving timely information on the control of pests, growing of crops, and management of poultry and live-stock. A prun- ing demonstration was conducted in Scituate during the past year. Poultrymen and other farmers attended fre- quently meetings and tours held in other towns for the benefit of the farmers of the county.
Home Furnishing has received special emphasis in the home program this year and a five-meeting unit of work has been completed. Scituate has also been repre- sented in home accounts meetings and in conferences held for managers of tea rooms and wayside stands.
CHARLES E. MITCHELL,
Town Director.

Report of the Clean-Up Committee
REPORT OF THE CLEAN-UP COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Scituate:
At the last Town Meeting, no money was appropri- ated for the annual clean-up of rubbish. Mrs. James Lord of Scituate Center requested the courtesy of the floor, which was granted, and then announced that she would be willing to give $100.00 for that purpose. This money was gratefully received by the Committee.
The Committee was also to make the effort to solicit money, but the success of that was not encouraging. The following amounts were received :
