The petition of twithdrawal contained
424 names, and 2lO of those were
thrown out by the Board for the

prevailing opinion in Winneshiek that
the matter will be carried to the courts

significance only averages extending over

conclusive In these comparisons live stock
production Is likely to lose much in light of
the fact that our crops ore produced by men
who arc primarily successful grain growers,
involving relatively simple operations, and
who are more or less deficient in their knowl-
edge of successful live stock management,
which presents numerous complicated and
involved processes Because systems Of sue
