COLLEGE SOLD OUT OF SEED
POTATOES

No more seed potatoes can be
supplied to Wisconsin farmers by
the College of Agriculture this
spring, the supply being complete
y exhausted, according to the re
port issued by Prof ]. G Milward.
A few weeks ago the College,
through the horticultural depart
ment, offered to distribute seed
potatoes in lots of two bushels or
less at practically cost prices. The
application for this seed was so
immediate that the department was
sold out almost at once. Thus no
more orders can be accepted
The distribution of this high
class seed through the potato grow
ing sections of Wisconsin should
help to standardize varieties in this
state and make possible more ship
ments than ever of potato seed in
carload lots to other sections of the
country.

Mr.. AND MRS. FARMER

You do not expect scrub COW to
produce as much butter fat as one
bred from many generations of
heavy milk producers, so why
should you expect a scrub hen to
lay as many eggs as pure bred
one, bred carefully for egg pro-
duction from heavy egg producing
ancestors1
AT the National Egg Laying Con-
test held at the Missouri State
Experiment Station last year it
was conclusively shown that the
Plymouth Rock leads the world ar
an all year round egg producer.
My Stamina Strain of barred
Plymouth Rock are absolutely
pure bred from heavy egg produc-
ing stock.
My breeding pen this spring con-
sists of twelve mature hens of the
famous J. w. Parks, Bred-to-lay
Strain of heavy layers and two
beautiful Ringlet hens. The Parks
hens were carefully selected from a
large number of good ones not only
for their good looks but because
they were steady layers. These
fine hens are mated to a Ringlet
cockerel of perfect shape and fine
barring and just the shade to pro.
duce standard colored and barred
pullets. He and the two Ringlet
hens were recently purchased by
me from the great E. B. Thompson
of Armenia, N. Y, whose Ring lets,
as he calls them, have, for more
than thirty years, won practically
all of the first honors at all of the
prominent poultry shows in the
world.
The Parks hens were raised from
eggs bought direct from ]. w.
Parks, of Altoona, Pa, whose Bred
today Strain is famous for heavy
egg production.
Breeding stock raised from eggs
from this carefully mated and high
quality pen are bound to raise the
standard of any farm flock of
Barred Rocks not only as to eggs
but also as to appearance.
Quality considered, my price of
five dollars per fifteen is low and l
absolutely guarantee the fertility.
You cannot do better elsewhere
at twice the price. Buy your eggs
now and get early laying pullets.
All are invited TO call and see
these birds.
