area is being worked with a special crop. Further increase in cranberry swamp seems unlikely, but who shall say with any show of reason that there are no other discoveries to be made, no other new things to be learned, no other successes possible ? Difficult production is often the most profitable production; and, conversely, the ease and certainty with which a crop is grown at once establishes a low price for that crop. The difficulties here increase the possible profits. With an increasing market coming to our doors each season eager for vegetables, eggs and milk, the sale of these must be very profitable. We are in a favored locality for the production of summer and winter eggs; milk and cream can be made here at a fair average cost ; the common vegetables CAN BE GROWN. We must take advantage of every means known to modern agriculture to increase and con- serve the soil moisture. We must manure and fertilize heavily ; drouth and poor soil make a hopeless combination. Somebody will do it. The question is shall we take the money ourselves, or let our neighbors have it ?
THE WORK
In addition to the class-room instruction in the principles and practices of agriculture which extends through the larger part of the school year, each pupil is required to grow in his or her home garden at least eleven vegetable species. This may be done in a small way and the product used at home; but one of these must be chosen as a money crop termed the "project" to be grown on a larger scale and considered as a business venture. These requirements ob- tain throughout the State. Here we require also a poultry project which is quite warranted by local conditions as will be conclusively shown by a summary of our pupils' work at home for the year ending October 25, 1913:
Enrollment, eight boys. Average age, seventeen years.
84
Total net receipts, (profits and labor), $2614.90.
Average net receipts, $326.86. Total net profit on projects, $675.20.
Average net profit on projects, $84.88.
Total other profits received by families, $84.07.
This home work was done under the direction and ad- vice of the Instructor. Of course the extreme drouth of the past season should be considered in forming our judgments of the success. In many cases one of the great needs is cash capital to start the project. Too often because of this the pupil cannot get in position to make use of what knowledge he has and therefore fails to get full benefit from his in- struction. This lack of capital is too frequently a large limit- ing factor and a very serious discouragement to both pupil and Instructor. If the Instructor could be authorized to loan a sum not exceeding $25.00 to each pupil needing it, the same to be paid out of the first receipts, the progress of Agricul- tural Education would be rapid.
CRANBERRIES
In addition to extensive research work, a considerable amount of experimental investigation co-operating with sev- eral progressive local growers has been carried forward to success. These experiments were in methods of fertilizing and spraying; and I choose one of the latter to transcribe here, because the benefits from spraying have seemed more questionable to some of our expert producers.

1st spraying, June 24; 2d spraying, July 8; 3d spraying July 21.
Plots 5 and 6 were laid out and results noted by Mr. Moody.
Plots 7 and 8 (Mathews) were flooded June 7 for thirty- six hours.
The spraying of plot 7 was on same dates as Early Blacks. None of the berries were frozen. The Early Blacks were picked Sept. 1; the Mathews, Oct. 18. The increase of marketable berries due to spraying as here shown is an average of EIGHTY-SEVEN PER CENT. The cost of the three sprayings would not exceed $25.00 per acre or 15 cents per rod.
Formulas and assistance always ready.
THE FAIR
The Harwich Agricultural Association held an exhibit in the Exchange Building on Oct. 7 and 8, which gave evi- dent proof of the possible successes of a hostile season. The promoters and exhibitors alike are to be congratulated on the splendid showing which must lead us all to greater efforts and greater results in 1914. The education and stimulation effected by the Fair in centering the attention of the people where it should be, on agriculture, must rank it as one of the most important single events of the town-year. Lay your plans now.
86
That the conditions of soil and climate here compare favorably with those of other parts of the Cape was forcibly shown by the winning of all three prizes offered by the Barnstable County Agricultural Society for the best one- eighth acre of potatoes by our own boys from the Harwich Agricultural School.
THE COMMUNITY.
An earnest effort has been and will be made (I trust with due meekness of spirit) to offer to our people the advan- tages of recent scientific investigation and practical methods adapted to our needs from localities where agriculture is specialized in its various branches. Questions requiring more investigation than is possible from this department will be referred to recognized specialists. This is without cost to the applicant. Can there be any doubt of its value ?
SUGGESTIONS
The Rural Free Delivery of mail is granted now through- out nearly the whole State, and it seems probable that a little strenuous and organized effort would win it for this Township. The parcel post makes rural delivery even more important than formerly and this takes on yet more em- phasis, because of the recent increase in maximum weights. The educative and industrial value to a farming community can hardly be over-estimated. Why should Harwich be behind ? If energy will get it, let us have it. Allied to this is better express service. Shall we accept the Express Company's calculated imposition ? The Government is ready to protect us from this exploitation, but will not while we subinit in silence.
