Report of Plymouth Co. Extension Service
The rapidly changing economic conditions of the past year have created many pressing problems for farmers of the county. The Extension Service has been called upon more frequently than ever before to furnish information and advice that the farms of the county might be operated as efficiently as possible, that families might use their re- sources to the best advantage, and that boys and girls might learn through their 4-H clubs to assist in meeting the prob- lems of their parents.
Through county-wide and local meetings, tours and demonstrations, through circular and personal letters, farm and home visits, office and telephone calls, and through such other agencies as the "Farmer" and newspaper articles, information, instruction and advice have been made available to farmers of all classes, to the homemakers of the county and to 4-H club members. Over 3,000 farmers, and in all nearly 7,500 different individuals in Plymouth County have been in direct contact with the Extension Service dur- ing the past year.
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 toward the solution of these difficulties, both with individual far- mers and with county-wide groups of dairymen, poultrymen and others.
107
The following report tells briefly some of the ways in which the work affected the citizens of West Bridgewater.
Twenty-three personal visits were paid to individual farmers to give advice or information on particular prob- lems. In addition, many others received information and advice through telephone, personal letters and calls at the office in Brockton. Farmers in West Bridgewater attended regularly the many agricultural meetings and tours held in other towns for the benefit of the farmers of the county. All farmers in town received regularly letters and circulars giving timely information on the control of pests, growing of crops, and management of poultry and livestock.
The town was represented at our conference held for managers of tea rooms and wayside stands. Assistance was also given homemakers in food problems, in garden sub- jects, and in kitchen improvement. One general meeting was held at which practical home and community problems were discussed.
Four-H club members enrolled in the following clubs during the past year: dairy, garden, handicraft, poultry and clothing.
Dairy club members attended meetings of the Plym- outh County 4-H Dairy Club, while the handicraft and clothing club members met regularly with local leaders. The garden club members were visited and each garden scored by the county club agent.
Marie Blomgren won third place in the county-wide contest. This contest requires that the dress be cut and made entirely by the club member, and that it be judged both off and on the girl.
I wish to thank the many friends who have given of their time and effort towards making this work a success.
CORELLI C. ALGER,
Town Director.

Report of Highway Department
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
As your Superintendent of Streets I present my report as follows: Work started at the beginning of the year as usual and we consider that the work for the past season was of great importance and very successful. We carried on our regular routine of scraping, widening, patching and general maintenance throughout the year.
The aim of this department has been to give the best returns to the citizens for the money appropriated, and at the same time provide work for the deserving unemployed as far as possible. I think that most of the people feel that the head of this department has tried to be fair and impartial.
During the winter we did a great deal of gravelling on Wall, Pleasant, Beacon, Manley, Walnut, Keenan and Ash streets and Aldrich Road. During the early season a tar top blanket was laid on Wall street (500 feet) with the coopera- tion of the Bridgewater Department.
This short street is bounded on the east and the west by the Town of Bridgewater.
Following this work we built a fine piece of tarvia top on Howard street from West Center to River street (1000x 28 feet). In connection with this work we built a good gravel sidewalk. Would recommend that this walk be treated with a coat of tarvia.
116
During July and August with the cooperation of the state and county we built approximately one mile of tarvia top on Copeland street. This work was under the supervision of the State.
In September and October we widened our portion of Plain street six feet to correspond with that of East Bridge- water and Brockton, and resurfaced the whole with a stone asphalt penetration top. This was also under the state en- gineers.
During the late fall we finished some small jobs and in December the C. W. A. work was started and we worked on those projects for the balance of the year.
Respectfully submitted,
DANIEL A. PENPRAESE, Superintendent of Streets.
