WHY RAISE

How Animal Husbandry Benefits

BY Charles L. Hill, Director WIscon-

Agriculture feeds us; 10 great

should not have commerce. These all
stand together, but they stand together
like pillars in cluster, the largest in
the middle, and that largest is Agri-
culture.
Keep live stock on the farm; it
means permanent agriculture and that
means permanent prosperity.

been attracted by the news that the
exchange would reopen for business
even on a limited scale.
II was evident that there was no
need OF money pool being formed

was not necessary was that the banks
made large offerings OF both call and
