SPECIAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
The specially appointed School Committee held two meet- ings and the undersigned was appointed chairman. The Com- mittee had four propositions placed before them, namely: to build, to rent the school at North Agawam known as the Paro- chial School, to hold double sessions, request the Legion boys to loan their room and transfer the seventh grade to the High School building. Building was out of the question. Double sessions have their disadvantages. Rent of the Parochial School would be $1,800 a year. After talking with Supt. Phelps and the Legion boys the committee recommended to the School Com- mittee that the Legion room be used and the seventh grade transferred to the High School building. The School Committee accepted our recommendation and the arrangement saved the Town any great extra expense except expense for equipment. We found Supt. Phelps anxious to co-operate with the Com- mittee and keep the cost to the Town as low as possible. I have no idea what the School Committee will request for the coming year.
For the writer's part, I am hopeful that we will be able to go through another year or two without building, even though we hold double sessions for some classes similar to what is being done in some of our surrounding towns.
At present the cost of schools to the Town is $133,659.01 or 59% of the total appropriations of our Town.
JOHN R. LLOYD, Chairman.

REPORT OF Tree and Forest Warden
TREE WORK
This year we have removed several dead and dangerous shade trees and several more should be cut, and new ones planted in their places, where necessary.
Early last summer we found in North Agawam quite a serious infestation of Cottony Scale causing the leaves on some maples to turn yellow and also some leaf dropping. We im- mediately sprayed these trees and later on inspection found the scale dead and trees in a more normal condition.
We also sprayed a large number of trees for Oyster Shell Bark Lice as a preventive of further damage. Aside from our oldest trees, some of which are apparently slowly dying from old age, our public shade trees are in fairly good condition. After finishing the work on shade trees which was absolutely necessary we used the balance of appropriation cutting roadside brush, clean- ing up some of the worst places.
FRUIT TREES
This past season we had a bad infestation of Apple Leaf Skeletonizer, also the White Birch Skeletonizer. These two pests are somewhat different but accomplish the same results. As the last White Birch infestation was ten or twelve years ago your servant does not apprehend another bad infestation for sev- eral years.
A thorough spraying with arsenate of lead when worms first appear will kill them. The fall web worm which was so conspicuous last season was about normal this season. They at- tack both fruit and forest trees and are the cause of those un- sightly webs and nests which are so conspicuous in early fall and late summer. Spraying with arsenate of lead, two or three ap-
51
plications (beginning about August first), at intervals of ten days or two weeks will kill caterpillars and stop their depreda- tions. In most cases the same results can be attained more eco- nomically by burning them out with a kerosene torch with no damage to the trees.
This season we are obliged to report a slight increase in Gypsy Moth nests found. They seem to be slowly spreading not in colonies but as individuals.
Our 1922 scouting totaled 186 egg-masses, costing $277 for labor, for 1923 209 egg-masses at a cost of $282. This is an increase of 23 egg-masses for the year 1923.
The Tussock Moth, Leopard Moth, and several other pests more or less injurious to fruit and forest trees were conspicuous by their absence this past season. In 1922 we had a heavy in- festation of these pests.
Recently your servant received notice from the State For- ester to be watching out for the Satin Moth which he says is headed in this direction. This is one of the pests which has to be fought entirely by spraying.
For 1924 would recommend an appropriation of $300 for Moth Work.

Report of Board of Fire Engineers
We submit herewith a list of calls made on the Fire De- partment during the past year. Eleven of these calls were for brush and grass fires, of no serious damage, but causing wear and tear on equipment. We estimate that the Department has saved buildings to the value of $28,000; automobiles, $5,500; trucks, $7,500; total, $31,000.
Much new equipment is needed this year, including hose, rubber boots, coats and hats. These are very necessary and we recommend that $1,000 extra be appropriated for this purpose. It is our desire to have the three units of the Department in first class condition in order to meet any emergency that may arise.
While fighting a stubborn fire on the morning of December 31, three of our members were injured, two slightly, but one suf- fering a very bad fracture of the ankle, which will incapacitate him from work for many weeks as well as incur a large bill for care.
A new heating plant has been installed at the Agawam Center Station, giving entire satisfaction.
Some very necessary repairs have been made on the three trucks.

REPORT OF Trustees for County Aid to Agriculture, 1923 TOGETHER WITH REPORT OF Hampden County Improvement League, 1923
December 26, 1923.
TO THE VOTERS OF AGAWAM:
Agawam makes an annual appropriation to the Trustees for County Aid to Agriculture working in co-operation with the Hampden County Improvement League. Therefore this report of the work accomplished in Agawam and in the county as a whole in 1923 is of interest to every voter.
The Trustees, to whom all public appropriations are made, are an unpaid board named by the County Commissioners to carry on extension activities in agriculture, home-making, and boy and girl club work. The League, as a private membership organization, turns over a large percentage of its funds to the Trustees for their work. The two organizations work in the closest co-operation.
The year 1923 has been one of expansion. Three additions to the staff of workers have made possible new lines of work in almost every town in Hampden County.
Agawam, in common with every other town, will benefit from the series of economic studies being conducted by Samuel C. Hood, one of the three new staff members. Mr. Hood has been conducting thorough-going surveys of the market garden and poultry industries with a view to studying the economic situation of these branches of agriculture in the county and recommending the adoption of new practices wherever they will benefit the industry. In line with the economic studies Mr. Hood is conducting, the county agricultural agents, Joseph H. Bodwell and Wm. H. Wolff, have been active in assisting new
60
co-operative marketing ventures. Early in the year, Mr. Bod- well co-operated in activities incidental to the establishment of the Springfield Dairy System, and throughout the year, Mr. Wolff has worked in close co-operation with the Hampden County Apple Growers' Association. This association, composed of some of the leading orchardists in the county, this year started packing, grading and selling its fruit from a central warehouse in Springfield.
Another addition to the staff is Miss Eunice S. Clark, as- sistant home demonstration agent. Her training is especially along nutrition lines, and she is working with groups of women and with schools throughout the county to bring about good food practices.
The work of the Trustees and the League, as it touches di- rectly the towns and rural districts, functions through three main departments : agriculture, home economics, and junior club work. The following paragraphs state the work in Agawam in 1923 in each of these departments.
Agawam farmers a year ago shared with others throughout the county in the co-operative purchase of several thousand bush- els of certified seed potatoes, and the results were so satisfactory as to lead many farmers to desire this type of seed again for 1923. Last winter, therefore, Mr. Bodwell was sent to Maine to in- spect certified potato seed in the warehouses there, and to make selections for Hampden County farmers. Four hundred bushels of this seed were bought by Agawam agriculturists. This seed planted more than 25 acres of potatoes, and the unanimous opinion of those who used the seed was that it increased the yield at least 50 bushels to the acre. This resulted in an increased produc- tion in Agawam of well over 1000 bushels, which, at the present market value of potatoes, meant an increased income of more than $1,500 to Agawam farmers from this one item alone.
Agawam poultrymen received similarly effective co-operation from Mr. Bodwell during the year. Two poultry culling meet- ings were held in Agawam during the year, one at Louis De Palma's, at which several of the Italian farmers were present, and the other at Mr. Karl D. Nooney's. Six poultrymen in Feeding Hills were visited at their own request for advice on disease control method. A poultry meeting was held at Mr. H. B. Healy's at which Professor Wm. C. Monahan of the Massachusetts Agricultural College was present to discuss disease control. In carrying out his program of disease eradication in the county, Mr. Bodwell has visited eight Agawam poultrymen.
61
Two extension schools were held in Agawam last winter, one at the Center, and the other in Feeding Hills. At the Feed- ing Hills Extension School, tobacco, poultry and orcharding were the principal features from the point of view of the farmer. The school at Agawam Center was given over to market gar- dening and small fruit culture.
At the women's session of the Agawam Center Extension School, besides the study of the renovation of garments conducted by Miss Stuart, Miss Mary Ayre of the State Department of Health talked on "The Prevention of Communicable Diseases." At the Feeding Hills School, Miss Stuart demonstrated the mak- ing and use of the dressform, and a demonstration of household equipment was given.
One tobacco farm in Agawam, through the co-operation of Mr. Bodwell, has received study by Professor John B. Abbott of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, a soil specialist. Soil conditions on this farm were studied, and the method of treat- ment to prevent certain sections from yielding poorly was offered.
Early in the season, three Agawam farmers discovered what they thought to be European corn borer in their field. Mr. Bodwell investigated and discovered instead corn ear worm, a pest which is not so dangerous to the corn crop.
The horticultural agent worked in the town of Agawam 20 days during the past year, making 55 farm visits. A fertilizer demonstration on tomatoes was carried on at Louis DePalma's in Feeding Hills, which showed the best yield in point of quality of fruit and earliness of yield where 500 pounds of acid phos- phate and 150 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre were used. A demonstration on the control of pea lice was carried on by Mr. Wolff with J. J. Caldon and D. H. Hawley. Mr. Hawley also assisted in a demonstration of dusting for control of grape dis- eases. On two occasions, the horticultural agent assisted A. Kastner in his bee-keeping problem.
The entire League staff moved into Agawam last August for the annual county farmers' picnic. Two thousand people attended the affair which was held at Riverside Park.
In Junior Club work, Agawam boys and girls provided several leaders in club achievement. Eighty-three boys and girls representing six different projects were enrolled in Agawam dur- ing 1923. Conservative estimates give the products a valuation of $1,775.03, with a net profit of $1,009.81. The two Agawam canning clubs (Feeding Hills and Agawam Center) won second prize on their 100 jar display at the Eastern States Exposition.
62
A total of $87.25 in cash prizes was won by Agawam club mem- bers at the Exposition.
The work with Agawam boys and girls was carried on by George Good and Miss Wanda J. Zendzian, both paid for their services out of the town appropriation. These two workers re- ceived constant assistance and co-operation from Otis E. Hall and Miss Catharine M. Christen, county club agents.
The outstanding feature of Home Bureau work in Agawam has been the millinery project, carried on by Miss Lillian M. Stuart. Agawam women saved approximately $400 through these meetings in the making of hats. Clothing groups have been carried on, and the League assisted in the establishment of a school lunch in Feeding Hills, which has since been taken over by the School Department.
Mrs. Edith M. Hawley, who has been enrolled as a League commercial canner for several years, and who has won more than local fame with her canning, this year won a prize of $250 offered by the Hazel Atlas Glass Company for the best collection of canning in the country.
Four local leaders in Home Economics received instructions at training conferences conducted in Springfield by a specialist from the Massachusetts Agricultural College, assisted by Miss Stuart, and Agawam women had an active part in the county clothing day in Springfield last summer. The Feeding Hills clothing leaders prepared a float for the parade on the occasion of the Agawam community picnic at Riverside last summer.
Leaders in the women's projects in Agawam have been : Mrs. H. M. Polley, Mrs. H. E. Bodurtha, Mrs. Herbert Taylor, Mrs. C. H. Wood, Mrs. D. R. Stedman, Mrs. W. J. O'Con- nor, Mrs. C. A. Sunden, Mrs. Robert Shields, Mrs. W. J. Keat- ing, Mrs. Riley Farnsworth and Mrs. Fred Wingard. The 1924 community committee as elected is: Mrs. Dwight Hawley, chairman; Mrs. Paul Johnson, vice-chairman; and Mrs. L. A. Snow, secretary; and at Feeding Hills, Mrs. C. H. Wood, chair- man; Mrs. F. A. Raison, vice-chairman; and Mrs. C. H. Gran- ger, secretary.
The time given to Agawam by League staff members during the year has totalled about 40 days, besides the time of specialists and lecturers secured by the League from the Massachusetts Agricultural College and elsewhere. This takes no account of the county-wide or office service given by the League, which is free at all times for the aid of inquirers from Agawam or any other town along the lines for which the League is equipped.
63
Nor does it count the time of Mr. Good and Miss Zendjian for local club leadership paid for from the town appropriation.
The Agawam town appropriation to the Trustees for 1923 was $400. Expenditures for boy and girl club work during the year have already totalled $235.52, leaving a balance of $164.48 yet to be expended in club leadership and other activities before the 1924 appropriation becomes available. For the continuance of club work, it is requested that the appropriation be continued at the same rate as in 1923.
The League director for Agawam is Arthur Rudman. W. H. Porter is a member of the Trustees for County Aid to Agri- culture.
Respectfully submitted, ROSCOE C. EDLUND, Managing Director.
