This year all endowed and annual care lots and the old part of Walton Cemetery received a top dressing of fertilizer. Three lots were turned over, manured, loamed and seeded. Thirty-five lots received a covering of loam and some grass seed. The stones on four lots were cleaned. The young trees that died were replaced and several shrubs were set out.


As there was no appropriation the old part of Walton Cemetery and the roads did not receive their usual attention.


The Welfare furnished 608 hours work at the first of the season.


Respectfully submitted, J. FRED BROWN PAUL S. MAXWELL AMOS MAHONY Cemetery Commissioners.

Report of Middlesex County Extension Service


In Pepperell During 1934


The following is a report of the work done in this town by the Middlesex County Extension Service during the year 1934.


Pepperell is one of the leading poultry towns in Mid- dlesex County and in the State. For this reason much of the agricultural work has been done along this line.


Mr. Ray M. Newell served as a member of the County Committee to study the egg marketing situation and as a member of the Hatchery Code compliance committee.


Two poultrymen are cooperating in a flock improve- ment project. Five sent in monthly records on the "Grow Healthy Pullets" project conducted by the Poultry Depart- ment at the College.


Sixteen farm visits were made to fruit growers.


Parasites, the only control for oriental peach moth, were released in one orchard.


A C. W. A. project on cutting neglected trees was aided. The Extension Service has been emphasizing the danger of neglected trees in breeding pests such as the apple maggot.


Moving pictures of apple picking and packing, cost figures and details of production were presented at a winter meeting.


The Homemakers in Pepperell were very active last year. Pepperell and East Pepperell units carried the regular program of Children's Coats and Hats, Clothing Renovation, and Nutrition. The two units united into one group for the work on Home Repairs. The following served as leaders : Mrs. Lawrence Price, Mrs. F. N. Davis, Mrs. Leslie Smith, Miss May Northrup, Mrs. Leon Winch, Mrs. J. T. Robinson, Mrs. F. Sliney, Mrs. Frank Hayes, Mrs. Sophie Tierney and Mrs. Hazel Landrey.


The largest gathering was the Christmas meeting when about 75 homemakers and their friends met at the home of Mrs. Addison Woodward for suggestions and patterns from the Christmas gift kit. A community group, meeting in one of the local homes, was formed to study the "Adolescent Period" in a child guidance course of four discussion meet- ings led by Mrs. Ruth D. Morely, from the Massachusetts State College. Mothers from Ayer, Dunstable and Town- send also attended these talks.


41


Many homemakers attended the annual June meeting in Lexington. The local unit was also represented Farm and Home Week in Amherst by Mrs. Leslie Smith.


The 4-H Make and Mend Club was led by Mrs. Paul Taylor and Miss Phyllis Messer. Barbara Sherwood and Marjorie Price participated in the school dress contest.


Mr. Frank Tierney led a boy's handicraft club. Can- ning was done individually by club members.


Miss Florence Flynn, conducting the garden club, com- pleted her 15th year as local leader.


Marjorie Price was awarded a week at camp Middle- sex for her work in clothing, canning and music appreciation. John Terszyk was a winner in the Sectional Handicraft Contest held in Townsend in April. Richard Woodward and John Terszyk won the two-day trip to Amherst.


It should be remembered that the work of the Middle- sex County Extension Service is free to all citizens of the county who desire to participate in its work. It is organized primarily to serve farmers, homemakers and boys and girls residing in rural sections, but homemakers, back yard garden- ers and boys and girls in villages may also avail themselves of this service.


For the past two years no appropriation has been asked from the town for this work. This year the school depart- ment granted some assistance to the work of the handicraft club.
