Normal School and Farmers Unite for Better
Crops and Stock.

stock show of that organization was
held. Although in the nature of an
experiment. it was a great success,
the business men Of the city, the
faculty and students of the Normal
school and the farmers of the vici-
nifty all taking a live interest in it.
Its membership includes farmers,
teachers and business and profess
sional men of this commu ity.
The second annual stock show of
this organization was held on the
campus of the Normal school last
Friday. The stock exhibited, al
though assembled from a compare.
lively small territory, rivaled that
of the much larger county and inter-
county fairs IL point of grade, and
the interest t.ken in these exhibits
and in the judging and lectures was
far greater than that shown at the
average fair.
The feature of the day was the
stock judging by Professor Hugh
Van Pelt, of Waterloo, Ia, who was
secured by the Association on &C.
count of his being one of the very
best judges of cattle in this coun-
try. Professor Van Pelt is chosen
each year to judge at the National
Dairy Show at Chicago, as well as
at other important dairy shows in
this country and in Europe.
The judging took place in a corral
built in front of the grandstand and
as the exhibits of each department
we're brought in Professor Van Pelt
discussed the good and bad points
of each animal, giving hints and
suggestions valuable to all stock
breeders and buyers, His remarks
we're given the strictesr attention
by all present, and it was general
comment that this was the most
helpful aft air of its kind ever held
in the st. Croix Valley.
The horse judging was performed
by Professor Fzller of Madison,
who gave excellent satisfaction and
proved of great assistance to horse
breeders.
The River Falls Crop and Stock
Improvement Association is an or
%ganization of great value to the
community, and is recognized as
such by all who are acquainted with
it's work. It's membership is steadi-
ly increasing and its annual show
will soon become a famous institu-
ton. The ready and hearty CO.
operation of farmers, business men
and school men will bring results be-
yound the highest expectations of
the most enthusiastic membre. The
worth of the organization, and es.
pecially it's annual shows, is un-
questioned. Stock improvement
has already advanced noticeably
from this source since it's organiza-
ton a year ago. River Falls and
surrounding territory and the Nor
NAL school have proited by it in
many ways. 1t is here to stick. and
TO grow.
