I am pleased to state that the year 1936 has been a good year. We had an adequate amount of money to work with. Twenty-six more books were added in 1936 than in the previous year. The Library has been cleaned, painted and varnished, thanks to the W. P. A. workers, and new shelves have been added this year. The trustees have tried to choose books which are pleasing to all, up-to-date but not objectionable. I have observed that people seem to be taking more interest in the making of better selections in their reading. The increase in circulation has been steady each year, this year the greatest of all. This year 1,104 more books were borrowed than in 1935. The number of borrowers have increased too-77 more than the previous year. I would like to thank the patrons of the Library for their support in 1936.
MYRTLE L. ATWOOD,
Librarian.

Meadow Street was completed with a tarred surface to Holmes St. About one half of Pope's Point St. received a tarred surface. Seipet St. was widened, graveled and surfaced with tar from Wareham Street to Tremont Street. Fordick Road was widened and graveled from the surfaced road to Purchase Street. Center Street from Wenham Street to Plymouth Street, about one and one half miles of Main Street and several short sections were treated with asphalt or tar. About $700 was spent in re- placing wooden railing with cable guard railing on Main and Tremont Streets. The remainder of this appropria- tion was spent for general maintenance.

REPORT OF COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE
Plymouth County Extension Service, Town of Carver, By Mrs. Wm. E. Holmes, Town Director
In presenting the report of Extension Service activities for the town of Carver, I would like first to call your attention to the fact that the Plymouth County Extension Service has been functioning for the betterment of Agri- culture, Home Life, and the boys and girls of the County for twenty-two years. It is your organization and serves you only in-so-far as you ask for service.
Report of Agriculture
The County Extension Service endeavors to present useful and practical information to farmers of the County and encourage the application of the same. We aid in se- curing and presenting information on production, mar- keting and assist in cooperative enterprises.
During 1936 much time has been given to the Soil Con- servation Program. The program is in line with our agricultural teachings and can be of assistance to county farmers. Two hundred and sixty-one men enrolled in the program.
We have assisted in every way possible various organ- izations that have requested our services. Among these are the Associations of County Dairymen, Poultrymen, Cranberry Growers, Production Credit, Goat Owners, Bee Keepers, Rural Re-settlement, various Fairs and Granges, Egg Auction.
Thirty-two hundred farmers in the County were sup- plied with timely information regarding agricultural problems, while 696 farm visits were made.

Home Demonstration Work
In Home Demonstration Work, the Extension Service assists homemakers with problems relating to the prac- tical management of the home, bringing up of children, and providing a good home environment.
In addition to the service given individual homes, over seventy groups of women, with an enrollment of 1550, have met together this year for special study of home problems. 212 different women have given volunteer help in organizing and carrying out the program. The sub- jects chosen have been child development, home manage- ment, food preservation and recreation. Groups have also met for chair seating, furniture renovation, and home grounds improvement.
Club Work
In 4-H Club work, the Extension Service provides for the boys and girls of the County an opportunity for edu- cational development through study and practice in home economics and agriculture, as well as an opportunity for self-improvement. It emphasizes the home, and brings Club members and parents together in a common interest. It develops cooperation, leadership, self-confidence, am- bition, sportsmanship, ability to think, responsibility and community spirit.
There were 99 4-H Clubs organized in 1936, with an en- rollment of 1717 boys and girls. These clubs were under the supervision of 100 volunteer local leaders. All towns and cities in the county had some type of 4-H Club work this year.
