REPORT OF THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE
Much of the organized programs conducted by the Middlesex County Extension Service are planned on a county basis with these programs available to every town in the county. Organized projects such as mastitis or Green Pastures for dairymen; flock health for the poultrymen; clothing and food for the homemakers or the various 4-H Club programs for boys and girls, are brought to the individual farmers or homemakers in a general way through the County Bulle- tin, radio, newspaper publicity, meetings or through correspondence and farm and home visits. In addition to this general work of the Extension Service, work in each town is developed under the guidance of the town director and the local groups interested in agriculture, homemaking and Boys' and Girls' 4-H Club work.
The Extension Service worked with poultrymen on virtually every aspect of poultry farming during the year. With efficiency the watchword, attention was given to the Poultry Farm Account Pro- gram, through which poultrymen are assisted with their farm records. Several poultrymen were assisted with flock health problems. Through the Quality Egg and Turkey Marketing Programs, poultrymen and turkey growers have been helped in improving their marketing faci- lities and practices. The county-wide Middlesex Turkey and Poultry Trade Show was held in Concord on October 11 and 12 with features both for producers and consumers.
Increased milk production per cow, better roughage and a re- duction of disease loss were the aims of the Extension dairy projects. The Dairy Herd Improvement Association and the recently organized Owner-Sampler Testing Association both are assisting farmers, through use of production records, to locate low producing cows.
Individual farm visits were made upon request to those interested in orcharding and vegetable production.
The "Slick Tricks in Home Care" program offered suggestions on easy ways to keep home furnishings attractive and in good condi- . tion. The women showed much enthusiasm over the "Short Cuts and Speed Tricks in Garment Finishes" as well as the make-a-dress pro- gram presented by the Middlesex County Extension Service. Christ-
102
mas brought a request for the kit, a collection of easy-to-make items that make popular Christmas presents.
One hundred and nineteen boys and girls were enrolled in 4-H projects in home economics and agriculture. Sixteen leaders were under the direction of Miss Barbara Nims, 4-H Town Chairman. A Spring achievement program was held in the Silver Lake Betterment Hall. The Simplicity Wardrobe was shown in the fall in the Grange Hall and was modeled by 4-H girls. A mothers' tea was sponsored by Miss Barbara Nims' Club. Constance Kambour was the County Winner in the canning project. Robert Jensen was the County Winner for Boys' Leadership. James Manuel was the County Winner in the garden project and attended State Congress in Boston. David Manson was a delegate to the State Camp at Amherst and was also a delegate to Camp Vail at the Eastern States Exposiion. Arthur Jensen received a medal for his garden project. Robert Jensen and Priscilla Palmer were delegates to State Camp at Amherst. Ralph Clifford attended State 4-H Boys' Day at the University of Massachusetts.
