Report of the Middlesex County Extension Service
For the Town of Pepperell
1948
The Middlesex County Extension Service is a county organization maintained to serve the various towns of the county especially in the field of agriculture and home economics.
The agricultural work this year was of a very general nature of interest to dairymen, poultrymen, and fruit grow- ers. Edwin H. Walker was one of three orchard growers in the county to be honored by being elected a member of the 90% Red Apple Club by the Massachusetts Fruit Growers Association. Twilight Meetings of interest to orchard grow- ers as well as assistance in the spray program was carried on during the year.
With the dairymen three men participated in the New England-wide "Green Pastures" Contest. Many were mem- bers in the Selective Breeding Association to help dairy far- mers in the high production of dairy cattle and Harold Olsen was a member of the Dairy Herd Improvement Association. Many visits to poultry farms were made upon request to assist largely in flock management and disease control. Organized projects were developed largely through the Middlesex County Poultry Association with many poultry- men in Pepperell belonging to this organization.
Meetings of interest to homemakers were held on food preservation and the making of Christmas gifts.
Boys and girls 4-H clubs in clothing, canning, foods, crafts, gardening, and dairy were carried on under the lead- ership of Miss Florence Flynn, Mrs. Sophie Tierney, Miss Evelyn Yeutter, Mrs. Robert Farmer, Alfred Parker, Her- bert Sweet, and Charles Maynard. 4-H club work was un- der the supervision of the Town Committee, of which Mrs. Ernest Melendy was Chairman.
95
Evelyn Yeutter was awarded one of the finest prizes that can come to a 4-H member, namely, representing the State at the 4-H National Club Congress in Chicago. She won this on her excellent work in the home improvement project. While at Chicago she was awarded a National Scholarship of $200.
Pepperell's Dairy Club members did exceptionally well in both the County Dairy Show at Littleton and the Dairy Show at the County Fair, winning more prizes than any other town in the County. Bernard Olsen won two Firsts and was Third in Showmanship, Richard Briggs being Second. William Townsend won a First and two Thirds. Allan Young won a First and was Fourth in the Showman- ship Contest.
A County medal was awarded to Cynthia Ryan in the National Farm and Home Safety Contest. William Town- send represented the County at State Boys' Day and was awarded a cash prize by the Massachusetts Society for Promoting Agriculture on his excellent dairy work. The 4-H exhibit at the Grange Fair was one of the best in the County. Others who did fine work were Baine Conley, Robert Yeutter, Eugene Reese, Lawrence Lowe, and John Bouchard.

Report of Cemetery Commissioners
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
In submitting this our annual report we wish to thank all who have so kindly assisted in our work. Mr. Newell, Mr. Burney, Mr. McClain, and Mrs. Saunders, have rendered valuable assistance and to them we extend a special word of appreciation.
The care of the cemeteries the past year has been carried on under the same policy as the preceding year with Mr. Harry Dow as Superintendent. From the many good reports we have received from visitors throughout the state we believe our cemeteries compare favorably with many.
However the matter of Annual Care has not met with the cooperation of many of the lot owners as it should. In justice to those whose lots are on perpetual care and to those who pay their annual care bills promptly, we feel that we can not go on caring for the lots of those who have not paid the annual care bill. We hesitate to do this because we know that the citizens of our town enjoy seeing our cemeteries looking as nice as possible especially at Memo- rial Day.
Because of the inaccuracy of our records there are many lot owners who have not received bills for the care of their lots. We are slowly revising our list and we hope that in the course of time we will have a complete list of all lot owners.
In regards to the lots where there are no immediate heirs left especially the old section of the Walton Cemetery we believe it is the wish of the people of Pepperell to care for these lots.
In the past year three trees were removed in Walton Cemetery, these trees had outlived their usefulness and
97
were a hazard if left standing. Some of the dead limbs were taken out of the other trees.
We regret to report that six headstones were tipped over at Halloween, one of them being broken. These were in the older part of Walton Cemetery. This was evidently the work of someone with a perverted sense of a good time. Our cemeteries should be held in a much higher esteem and not used as playground for the younger generation whose forbears may be interred there.
In the Woodlawn Cemetery part of the fence was pushed over and the turf disturbed.
At the close of the year a lowering device was purchased and this year we intend to purchase the greens. This will eliminate the necessity of hiring them. The fence in Woodlawn Cemetery is in poor condition and will need some work done on it in the not too distant future.
The tool house is much too small to house our equip- ment and an addition should be made but owing to the high cost of labor and material at the present time we hesitate to ask for this appropriation now.
With the exception of a few lots there was no fertilizer used in the cemeteries this year. This Spring we hope to topdress both cemeteries.
The drives at the Woodlawn Cemetery should be oiled and graded; this would greatly reduce the amount neces- say to maintain the drives in good condition.
The roof of the tomb was painted last Fall and the rest of the building should be painted this Spring.
Your commissioners have met reguarly each month throughout the year.
98
We recommend the following appropriation for 1949.
Soldiers Graves $400 Cemeteries 2,000
A summary of the receipts and expenditures for the cemeteries may be found in the report of the town ac- countant.

Tax levy 122,143.28
Available funds
88,278.18
Gross amount to be raised
315,086.74
With higher costs for everything and a demand for more services from the town, with many of our increasing expenditures being demanded from us by state law, an in- crease in the tax load of the average property owner is in- escapable. A gradual increase in assessed valuations to figures more nearly approaching today's sales prices will be necessary to keep the tax rate at a reasonable figure.
