REPORT OF THE WORK DONE BY THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE IN THE TOWN OF WILMINGTON
For the Year 1928
The town of Wilmington appropriated $200.00 in support of the Middlesex County Extension Service through the Trustees for County Aid to Agriculture for 1928. The following is a report of the work accomplished during the year.
In Agriculture two meetings were held, one at the Catholic Club Hall with an attendance of seventy and another at the Wilmington Grange with an attendance of about sixty-five. Individual farm visits were made where requested to assist farmers with their indi- vidual farm problems.
In Homemaking fifty-five women attended the Extension meet- ings in Home Improvement, Nutrition and Clothing. Twenty- eight homemakers attended the series of five Home Improvement meetings and have made many changes for labor-saving in their kitchens. Three special meetings were held, one on reseating old chairs and two on upholstery, and as a result many pieces of old furniture were renovated. One meeting was a community club meeting and the Extension program was explained to all. Thirty- two homemakers attended the Nutrition meetings, consisting of four meetings on Selection and Serving of well-balanced meals. Large numbers report improvement in the diet by the use of more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and milk. The group has held two meetings in the Clothing Selection and Garment Finish project.
