FARM ADVISORS AND
BOYS CLUB CONTESTS

Plans for providing eventually a
farm advisor" for every county in the
United States will be discussed at the
annual conference of state leaders in
the office of farm management of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, to which the University Of
California has sent as its representa-
tive B. H. Crochern, assistant professor
of agriculture extension.
Thirty states will be represented at
this Washington conference. Plans
will be discussed for cooperation be-
tween the government, the agricul-
tural colleges and local communities
whereby every county shall have a
trained advisor, who will go about
among the farmers spreading know
ledge of improved methods, helping
one farmer to learn by the experience
of his most successful neighbors, and
aiding the individual to obtain from
the experiment stations special advice
on special problems.
Another great work which these
state leaders will confer upon is that
Of developing boys agricultural clubs
throughout the country These boys
clubs conduct contests for growing
the best corn, the best pigs, the best
potatoes, etc, and so improved meth
eds are brought into general know
ledge and use. i91q
Agricultural clubs have now been
formed in a number Of California high
schools, in cooperation with the agri-
cultural students at Berkeley. Among
these are Ferndale, Arcata and For
tuna, in Humboldt county, and Yreka,
Napa, Santa Ana and Santa Barbara
The University plans to hold during
the coming year crop-growing and an
imal-raising contests throughout the
state, in which the members of these
and other clubs will participate. Any
one who wants to start such club ir
his own neighborhood will have the
hearty cooperation of the Agricultur
al Club of 500 students of the College
of Agriculture at Berkeley, if he
will write to their organization at the
university. A number of university
students are going to spend the
Christmas holidays helping in the
organization of such clubs in various
parts of California
The system of boys clubs and of
farm advisors is best developed in the
Southern states and in the Mississippi
valley. 1t is yielding millions of in
creased product to the farmers OF
America already, and is expected to
add. dd.incalculably to the productivity of
American farms and the prosperity
of American farmers.

Chinese Christians Organize
(By United Press Associations)

Wy tnlleu freSS ASSOc1dllOns)
Marking, Dec. l6.-Chinese Chris
tians to the number of ITO today took
preliminary steps toward the organ
ization of a Christian church to be
free of foreign control. At called
meeting of the Marking Evangelical
Association they decided to found such
a church to meet the wants of the
students of Christianity, and to draw
into the church all educated young
men who profess to be Christians but
who do not attend any of the existing
churches. This action is the outcome
of a rousing revival which foreigf
missionaries held here last spring,
Thousands of Chinese attended and
400 signed cards to indicate their de-
sire to study Christianity. One hun
dred and seventy of these objected to
joining churches which we're dominat-
ed by foreigners. The plan to organ
ize native controlled church fol-
lowed. The foreign missionary body
held several discussions over the ac-
tion and appointed committee to as
sist the Chinese in drawing up the ne
cessary constitution.

WIN OUT IN NINTH INNING
Void Pitches Great Ball, Allowing the
Factory League Players but Two Hits
and Regulars get but Five Hits off of
Schanock Small Crowd at Final.

The Kenosha baseball team won the
city championship on Sunday afternoon
by defeating the all star team of the
Factory league by a score of five to one
after one Of the hottest games ever
seen on local diamond The game
was won in the ninth inning. At the
END of the eighth the score had been
one to one, but when the regulars came
to bat in the ninth they did things
A base on balls, two singles and a dou-
BILE, gave the regulars four runs.
Void was in the box for the regu-
lars. 1t was the first time that he
had been seen in a Kenosha uniform
this season, but he pitched great ball,
allowing the factory stars but two hits
in the nine innings. Schanock pitched
eight and a half innings for the fac
tory stars and was just as effective as
Void up to the ninth inning. After
three hits had been made off of him in
the ninth Smith went in and stopped
the batting rally of the regulars, but
he stopped it too late. No hits were
made off of Smith. A big crowd turned
out to witness the game and it proved
one of the most interesting games ever
seen on the local diamond this season.
The game practically winds up the
baseball season in Kenosha, but the
manager of the Kenosha team is max
ing an effort to get another game with
the Dessingers Of Milwaukee This
team took two victories from the Ke-
nosha team and the locals are anxious
to get another chance at them in order
to even up the score. 1t is probable
that the Dessingers will be here next
Sunday.

Wisconsin has 400 of 6,4O0
Cows tested for Advanced
Registry Last Year.
LOCAL FARMERS INTERESTED

Of the sixty-four hundred Holstein-
F'riesian cows and heifers which were
officially tested in this country last
year, over eight hundred or more than
one-eighth of the entire number were
owned by Wisconsin dairymen.
The high rank of this as dairy
state is due in no small part to the
work of its progressive dairymen and
the various agencies which have en-
couraged and are encouraging the test
ing Of cows to determine their milk
and butter fat producing capabilities
and the elimination of animals which
under the dependable inspection Of the
milk scale and the Babcock test prove
Improbable
The official testing of the Holstein
herds of the state is carried on CO.
operatively by the dairynen owning
the cows tested, representatives of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture, and
officials of the Holstein-F riesian Asso-
citation of America. The work in Wis
consin was first supervised by the late
John w. Decker who was widely
known in the dairy world, and since
his death has been carried on by Prof.
T. w. Woll and his assistants Aided
by the official test the dairymen of
Wisconsin have been able to win world
wide recognition by the breeding and
development of cows which have
made and broken world IS records. The
long hist of record breakers which
have been owned in Wisconsin would
include Colantha 4th johanna which
produced 9S8.26 pounds butter fat in
one year Caroline Paul Parthenea,
88S.57 pounds butter fat and Queen
Juliana Dirkje, 774.51 pounls.
Of the one hundred and twenty-four
Badger state Holstein breeders and
dairymen who officially tested animals
in their herds the past year, sixteen
conducted yearly tests and thirty-nine
tested their herds for the first time.
The following is list from this
county of the men who had official
tests made in 1928:
G. D. Holt and Son, Pleasant Prai-
RE; and Stephenson Farm, Kenosha.

kEHOsHA HORSES WINNERS
Track is Found to be in Fair Condition
and Good Time is Made Horsemen
From Kenosha, Waukegan, Liberty
vile and Other Cities Attend Races.

The starter s bell sounded for the
first time in fifteen years out at Ideal
Park on Sunday afternoon and after a
long vacation the horse owners in
that section of the county had another
chance to see the ponies run, trot or
pace. More than five hundred people
turned out for the first racing matinee
at the rebuilt track and in the num-
Der were many of the most prominent
horse owners in Southern Wisconsin
and Northern Illinois A lot Of work
had been done to bring the track back
to it's old time form, but it was not per-
feet by any means and the track con
ditions prevented fast time at the
opening meet. Men will be put to
work again and it is certain that Ill
the bad spots will be worked out be-
fore the next meet is held. Six races
were arranged for the afternoon and
Kenosha horsemen did WE'LL getting
their full share of the money There
was plenty of excitement in connection
with the matinee card and keen rival
ry was shown in all the races. The
summary of the days sport follows:

COMPLETE ASSESSMENT TODAY.
Last Meeting of Board of Review Held
at the City Hall This Morning.


The annual valuation of the prop
erty OF the city for taxable purposes
was completed today, but it will prob
ably be another week before the books
OF the assessors are in condition to be
turned over to the city clerk. The last
meeting of the board of review was
held this morning and few changes in
valuations have been made. The col
lection OF the personal property list is
just about complete and the assessment
OF this class of property will be about
the same as last year. The assessments
or the personal property of the indus
trial companies in the city, with two
exceptions, are increased over last year.
These companies have demanded a re
ductlon from the board of review and
the assessors and they have taken the
matter under consideration. 1t is
thought that the value of all property
will be increased over the former year.

Twice before in the last twenty
years the corn crop has suffered very
serious injury-in 1894 and 1901.
Both times the yield fell one-quarter
below the average of the three preced-
ing years. The first time it was a
calamity-the second time merely an
unfortunate incident; but if the dam
age this years is as extensive as in the
two years named probably it will make
hardly any perceptible impression up
on business.
The reason, of course, is that any
single crop is relatively less important.
With the steady advance of industrial
arts no one item counts for so much.
Twenty years ago exports of grain cut
very considerable figure in the ma
tional balance sheet. Now they are
insignificant.
To go back only to 1901, products of
agriculture under the Interstate Com
merce Commission s classification made
up thirteen per cent of the total rail
road freight tonnage. They now con-
stitute only nine per cent. In 1901
grain alone made seven per cent of the
total tonnage against four per cent at
present. In 1901 all manupfactures
made hundred and thirty-seven mil
lion tons of freight; ten years later,
two hundred and sixty-seven million
tons. Nothing is king any more

STATE NOT BANKRUPT.
Governor Issues Statement in Reg ard
to State Finances on Friday.

That the condition of the state treas
ury is no cause for worry and that
there is no anxiety over it in official
circles is the statement of Governor Nc
Govern.
There is no reason why the expendi
lures for 1913 should be any larger than
for 1912, !" he said, Except for the
general natural increase. Last year
there was a 100000 surplus in the
treasury and we RENTED more than
100000 in taxes, = he said.
/" You see, when we collect certain
amount for this budget, that budget
contains the maximum amount needed
for the various purposes. That does
not mean that we will expend the en-
tire sum. We usually have surplus in
the treasury and then when we remit
taxes, there is the danger Of renting
too much. 1t is such fact, as we are
now at the end of the period of remis-
sion that has brought the state s fnan-
cial condition down, but there is moth
ing to worry about, = said the governor.
"There is also the danger that when
we have a surplus, we may not remit
enough he said. eve try to avoid
that, because we DO not want to have
a surplus in the treasury for the money
draws but 21a pc rcent interest for the
state while it would draw per cent
in private business. There is a statute
which says that the governor, secretary
of state and state treasurer can remit
taxes. For example, if we had a sur
plus we would not levy tax for the
university fund, or for the normal
schools or for the high Schools
That no state building will be
stopped and that accounts will be paid
as usual was assured by the executive.

FRANDsEN PAYS UP.
Contractor Who Got overpayments,
Settles with County Sunday.

Peter Frandsen, the sewer contractor,
who slipped away last Friday after the
county had overpaid him $500 on a
thing contract is back in the city again
and the $500 overpaid is back in the
box of the county treasurer. 1t may
be said that something of load has
been lifted off the shoulders of the
county officials and they feel so good
over the return of the money that they
have accepted the explanation of Frand-
sen and there will be no prosecution.
Frandsen reached Kenosha just after
two o'clock Sunday morning after hav-
ing spent Friday night and Saturday
in Chicago. He came in on an electric
car and deputy sheriff was waiting
for him and less than half an hour
after he arrived he was making ar
rangements to settle with the county
for the overdraw Frandsen had $500
in cash when he got back to Kenosha
and he promptly turned this over to
the officials and went out among his
friends to raise the remaining 5000. He
had it all in hand within an hour and
went home for a good night and day
sleep. Frandsen declared to the officials
that he had taken a couple of beers
too many before he went to get the
money from the county and such lot
of money in one lump seemed to give
him a desire to see little more of
the high lights.
The county officials declared that
there would be no appearance against
the contractor in court.

Democrats again see Chanc.
to Get Control of Wiscon-
sin Legislature next Year
MANY LETTERS BEING Sent OUT

The democratic political leaders il
Wisconsin have great hopes that the
next state administration and legisla
ture will be controlled by that party
Leaders in talking over the political sit
uation gave it as their opinion that ii
the democrats placed strong standard
bearers in the field for the nominations
that the party would certainly carry the
state in the coming campaign.
The outlook that the democrats may
carry the legislature is causing the
party leaders to be anxious about the
legislative candidates and it is said
letters will be sent out all through the
state asking that great care be taken
in bringing out democratic legislative
candidates and that the strongest men
possible be brought into the field and
that men be selected as candidates fer
the democrats who will be an honor to
the party if they are elected to the leg
islature.
In fact, the suggestion will probably
be made in the letters that strong men
be urged at once to get into the leg
islative field and that if possible can
didates who will make good members
of the legislature be brought out be-
tween now and Jan. in all of the dis
tricts. The leaders who are planning
on this work in the legislative districts
are of the belief that strong candidates
for the legislature will be of great aid
to the party in the election campaign
and will also be of assistance in
strengthening the standing of the party
with the voters prior to the campaign.
1t is also the hope of the par y lead
ers that a strong state ticket will be
named and that men will be chosen
for all of the places on the ticket who
will have the confidence of the voters.

The telephone directory is one of the
barometers of the condition of bust
ness and the growth Of the community
and the big increase in the last issue
of the directory Of the Home Telephone
company is satisfactory evidence of

pretty good evidence that the company

There was time not SO long ago when
