In accordance with the General Laws of the Commonwealth, Chap- ter 128, The Trustees for County Aid to Agriculture are empowered to receive, on behalf of the County, money appropriated by any town or by the Federal Government for carrying out the provisions of the law under which they are appointed.
The Trustees are further empowered to maintain agents to con- duct meetings or demonstrations, make individual farm and home visits and in all ways help to improve home and community interests in every way possible.
Their agents have made contacts during the past year in every community either by public meetings, individual visits, group dis- cussions, demonstrations or otherwise in attempting to assist the needs of the citizens toward better business, better living and better community service and have been ably assisted by hundreds of local volunteer leaders to this end.
In Wilbraham the following citizens have been of real assistance in promoting such assigned projects as have been conducted during the year :
Miss Evelyn Alsing, Miss Dorothy DeGray, Miss Beverly Muir, Mrs. Henry J. Clark, Henry J. Clark, Mrs. Carl F. Alsing, Mrs. J. W. Prendergast, Mrs. Clifford DuBray, Mrs. A. J. Brooks, Mrs. W. H. Fellows, Mrs. Gilbert Walker, Mrs. Charles J. Hatch, Mrs. John Nelsson, Mrs. George Patric, Mrs. John K. Nordin, Mrs. Herbert Sanborn, Mrs. C. J. Smith, Jr., Mrs. Walter Subjek, Mrs. George Moore and Mrs. Hildreth Jones.
A total expense of $50.75 was incurred during the year for either travel or purchase of material needed in carrying on the various projects by the local leaders. The appropriation made by your town was used by the agents of the Trustees for only residents of your town.

Gypsy Moth Report
During 1949, 689 egg clusters were destroyed. This decrease in the number of egg clusters found as compared to previous years is due to the spraying program carried out by this department.
In 1950 the control of the Dutch Elm disease will be under the supervision of the Gypsy Moth Superintendent.
