Cow Testing Associations

G. F. Marsh, County Agent, spent
several days last week in company
with Prof. G. f. Wolcott. of the Dairy
Extension Department of the Agricul-
tural College. calling on the farmers
in the interest of the establishment of
COW testing associations.
There was much interest shown. as
practically every farmer visited was
anxious to join. They expect to form
one association at Rising Sun and
mother in the vicinity of Elkton.
As only twenty-siX farmers can
belong to one association, there is
room in the county for at least half a
dozen associations. Where these as
sociations are in operation the farm
ers are satisfied that it is worth far
more than the small fee charged to
know what each COW gives and the per
cent of butter fat, as well as the cost
of feed, so that they can Gull out their
Improbable cows.
Mr.. Marsh would be glad to have
the names of farmers desirous of
joining one of the co wtesting asso-
Citations.

Re- Assessment Must Wait

The State Tax Commission is await
ing a decision by the Circuit Court for
Frederick county in the suit instituted
by the commissioners of that county
to determine the constitutionality of
the act under which it is proposed to
reassess the real estate in all the
counties. The decision by the Fred
erick court will not enable the COM
mission to begin its work Whatever
that decvision may be, there will like
ly be an appeal to the Court of APP
pea.s, special setting and an early
ruling by which will be necessary to
pave the way for the start of the
work. 1t looks, therefore. as though
the commission will not be in posi-
ton to begin until September 1 the re-
valuations which had been set for
about August |.
The Anne Arundel County Commits
sioners have also filed objections to
the law under which the new assess
ment has been arranged. Their OBJ
lections are similar to those by the
Frederick county commissioners. A
decision by the courts in the former
case will settle objections raised in the
two counties. In Baltimore county
the objection is based on a local law
which prohibits the commissioners of
that county from eXpending money for
which no levy has been made.

Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1916-12-28
Two Fools,

One man made unkind remarks
about another-said things about him
that were not true; tried TO leave the
impression that the man was not Of
the character he really Is. No one
but fool would be guilty Of such CON
duct.
The man who was talked about re-
scented it; took the fool TO task for his
folly; got into Il difficulty with the
fool and became angry He was also
a fool or he would not have been guilty
of such conduct. SO the trouble was
between two fools--two of them
making trouble for each other and for
themselves.
But there are many Just such fools
in the world-men who circulate I'M
kind reports about others, and the
other resenting the unkind remarks.
There are those who seek TO enter
tain their friends by talking about
other people They seem to think
that it is the easiest way of being
entertaining; they work overtime at
the task, with never hope of Sc
curing adequate compensation for
their efforts.
