Industry or Decline.
Not only Montgomery county but
all of eastern Kansas needs more
dairy cows" H NJ. Banner asserted to-
day. 1t is a we'll known fact that
less dairying is done in eastern Kan
sas today than was practiced ten years
ago. The dairy COW can and should
do as much for that part of the state
as she has done for Wisconsin, In
the case of a short corn crop like thai
of this year, the dairy COW is able TO
consume the fodder that would other
wise be wasted and convert it into
high priced products for which there
| is a constant demand.
Monday, the first day of the cam
paign, the demonstrations and meet
| ings will be held near and at Havana.
The second day. Tuesday, they Will
be held near Coffeyville and Inde-
pendence. Sycamore and Independ-
ence are on the schedule for the third
day. Wednesday. Thursday, indie

tory is on the program, and Friday.
