STRATF0RD FNTERTAINS
BANKERS AND FARMERS


When it comes to put forward your
best FOOT the citizens of StratforC
are not so very slow about it. Wausar
bankers report Wednesday, the 10Th
a great day for Stratford.
The Wausau delegation was giver
a special car by the C. & N. W. Ry.
and on arrival at Stratford were met
by the Stratford Military band, under
| the direction of Cashier Walter Obey
and escorted to the Stratford high
school where the meeting of the Mara
thon County Bankers association, with
| business men, stock raisers, and dairy
men, was to be held.
! President Walter Obey called the
meeting to order, and expressed the
hearty welcome of the citizens OF
StratfOrd. He commended the splen-
did spirit of cooperation between
bankers business men and farmers of
| Marathon county, out of which only
good can come to us all.
The principal topic for the meeting
was More and Better Dairy Cows
| and How to Finance the Purchase of
Them" H. G. Berger, vice president
of the association lead the discussion.
The bankers were DESTROYS of know
ing the attitude of the farmers to this
question and for that reason farmers
were called upon to give their views
on the question. The discussion devel-
oped several noteworthy points. First,
that there was a strong demand for
better stock; that it was profitable
along several lines to have better
stock, not only for our dairy interests,
but also from the standpoint of es-
tablishing a market for the sale of
surplus stock. 1t developed that
whereas an ordinary good calf would
probably bring about $500, a pure
blooded one would bring $4,000 and
more, netting the farmer a large in
crease in profit with small additional
outlay.
The sentiment was unanimously in
favor of formulating a plan whereby
larger distribution of better stock
could be secured. The Ashland and
Marinette dairy plans were discussed,
but it was thought best to develop a
plan suitable to our own needs, and
the chair was instructed to appoint
committee to formulate a plan
adaptable to Marathon county and re-
port at an early meeting. Fred Bandy
