Farmers Plan Packing House.

The farmers OF Wisconsin, as repre-
scented by the American Society of
Equity, have decided to go into the
slaughter house business. After a
debate on the proposition which last
ed for several hours, vote was taken,
and it was unanimous in favor CT es-
tablishing a packing house to be op-
Grated by a cooperative company
founded under the auspices of the
main organization Though the final
action was no surprise, the emphasis
of 1t was, for there was considerable
opposition manifested during the day.
and at one time the opponents of the
packing house declared they had il
beaten. However, the unanimous rec
ommendation of the special commit
headed by j. II, Carnahan of Black
River Falls, a man of great influence
In the organization, and the strong
argument of Andrew Boyd of La
Crosse. who has had II years expert
ence in the operation OF a packing
house, as well as the efforts of most
of the state and national officers, had
decided the convention, and when it
came to a vote opposition completely
disappeared.
1t is intended to raise A250.000, a
large part Of which will b. subscribed
by delegates at the convention at La
Crosse. Under the plan TO be used
no person will be allowed to hold more
than $1,000 worth of stock, and none
can cast more than one vote at meet
ings, regardless of the amount of stock
he holds. these precautions being
taken to prevent control of the com
pany being at any time acquired by
the Chicago packing interests. The
society will take over the LangdoE &
Boyd packing plant here, which will
be the nucleus of the new concern.
c. P. Cary, state superintendent OF
schools, made a strong argument in
favor OF manual training and domestic
science courses in the country schools
and better salaries for teachers He
maintained that to get the same re-
suits the rural schools must be equal
IN equipment. courses and personnel Of
teaching STATS to the city schools,
and declared that the results would
Justify the added expenditures.
