Bert Ball Declares Farming
Benefits are Sure to be Re-
allied by the Movement.

Bert Ball. secretary Of the Cromp
Improvement committee Of Chicago,
In an address at the bt-weekly dinner
or n Commercial club last evening,
onered a strong argument in favor of
county and local farmers organiza-
tions to improve the quality of grain.
live stock. fruit and other produce
raised on the farm. The talk was H.
Illustrated by stereopticon views show
ing he character of the work being
carried on in Illinois.
Mr. Ball recommended the organi.
cation of county associations, which
should include the farmers and the
business men and the object of which
should be to improve farming in ev-
associations he would develop local
associations.
The work in kankakee county. ILL.,,
was described in a graphic way. The
speaker told Of the sec testing and
the education of the farmers to en-
able them to improve the quality of
their cattle. hogs and grain. A strik-
ing example of the result of this Cos
Operation and improvement vas shown
in the case of apples. Mr.: Ball said
that n kind of apple, the culture
of which was now being promoted by
the farmers organizations. sold last
fall for a 81 a dozen, while there were
thousands of bushels of ordinary ap-
pies which rotted in the field because
there was no market for them.
Take Up Particular Variety.
County ORGANIZATIONS should take
up some particular variety Of what
ever the farmers proposed to raise.
II 1t were cattle, they should all raise
%Shorthorns or Jerseys or Holsteins. or
whatever breed they agreed upon. 1t
was less important, said Mr.. Ball. what
particular breed was selected than that
all should raise the same variety. SO
that the county should become known
for that particular breed and the cat
tile coming from that county would
gain a national reputation. Another
advantage was that buyers could come
into the county and purchase an en-
tire carload of on. variety.
Mr.. Ball said he believed that con-
tests between individuals or townships
were Of the highest Importance in
stimulating interest in the production
of better varieties.
He complimented O.. D. Center of
the Better Farming association and
Mr.. Center told. briefly of the work he
had done along the lines proposed by
