1939 Report of the Trustees for County Aid to Agriculture and the Hampden County Improvement League
TOWN OF WILBRAHAM
Agricultural Work
The agricultural service to local citizens during the year included soil testing, information and advice on farm financing, crop pest control, livestock disease control, crop production and marketing, agricultural engineering or construction, rodent
51
control, farm management, and hurricane rehabilitation or salvage.
Leading participants in the various projects conducted on a county-wide basis by the Agricultural Extension service, were the following: L. W. Rice, Carl Heideen, Holton Pease, H. L. Rogers, John Nordin, R. J. MacConnell, James Pickens.
There were 36 local farmers enrolled in the agricultural conservation program. Mr. Holton Pease is local representa- tive on the District Committee for this program.
Home Bureau Work
All sections of Wilbraham were represented in the Home Bureau project work. In all, some two hundred and seventy women took part in ten or more separate projects-Home Furn- ishings, Hooked Rugs, and Slip Covers seemed to be partic- ularly popular. There was a very excellent project in vegetable preparation in North Wilbraham and considerable saving has been reported by the women who joined the Home Furnishings Groups.
4-H Club Work
Eighty-seven boys and girls were enrolled in eight 4-H Club projects during the year. Some fifty meetings or dem- onstrations were held. Wilbraham has been fortunate in the type of its local volunteer leaders which accounts in a large measure for the increased interest shown in Club work in the Town.
Members from the handicraft club won state recognition at the State judging contest on Boys' Day. The two garden clubs made several educational trips and conducted a model meeting before all the leaders at the Adult Leaders' Camp in Amherst. The Conservation Club members were much in- terested in their particular project and have been on the radio.
