The rayages of hog cholera in Au-
drain make the Importance of an i'm
mediate decision in the appointment
of Farm Advisor for Audrain Coun-
ty more important than ever. If the
right man takes hold of the local con
ditions at once, thousands of dollars
win be saved the farmers within a
short time. Cholera is especially bad
north of this city and is spreading re
gardless of all precautions.
e. e. Pierce, who lives north of
this city, has lost 10 head of hogs
since Friday from cholera and has
burned each animal Immediately after
its death in order to suppress the
spread of the disease.
Milt Householder lost one fine SOW
this week and Taylor Dowell two
good hogs. Frank and Claude Nc
Gee have lost go head OF shoats. G.
r. Poole, west Of Thompson, has lost
IL head of hogs but he doesn't be-
iieve It was cholera that killed them.
In all instances the hogs were burn
ed.
Most of the farmers who have lost
hogs are anxious for the Farm Advis-
or to arrive and start the fight
against the cholera. 7. J. Rowe says
1t would be fine opportunity for hi
to show his usefulness at the very
start OF his work here.
D. b. Howard and Theodore Selb a
so favor Grow Day" in Audrain.
I -
On chosen date, each farmer would
attempt to exterminate the crows on
his farm. These birds are carrying
hog cholera from place to place, as
we'll as preying on young chickens
The great success of the Mexico
Commercial Clubs $1,000 guaranteed
saddle stake, last year, has caused
some of the officers Of the Fair AS
sociation and the Commercial Club
to seriously consider even a larger
purse for the stake this year.
1t has also been suggested that
similar stakes be had for fine cattle
and hogs which would eventually
make our position among the lead
ing stock counties in the state firm
and increase the advertising these
stakes give the city, at least, three
Ifold.
