Howard County School Notes.
"Wheat at q minimum of $500 and
selling for more three billion and a
half bushels Of corn in sight at about
double its usual price and other farm
cereals soaring in like proportion
makes serious economic problem for
the feeder of dairy cows, beef cattle.
horses, sheep and poultry. This
thought. expressed as above by THE
County Agent" is the nucleus OF 2
series Of talks to be given in Howard
county next week by DR.. K. W.
Stouder of Ames.
DR.. Stouder is graduate of the
Veterinary Course at the Iowa State
College. Since his graduation he has
been teaching and doing Government
Extension work. He is forcibie
speaker and will delight those who hear
him. He will speak on agricultural
subjects, emphasizing live stock man
agement.
DR.. Stouder is here under the aus.
pices of the Howard County Schools
and will give his lectures at township
school picnics. However, he is not
coming just to entertain the children.
Although his work will be of interest
and benefit to the older boys and girls,
it is primarily for the farmers and
business men who believe that con-
ditions on the farm make or break
business in rural communities The
work will be of as much interest to
certain of the business men as to the
farmers and we should be glad to see
the bankers, dealers in farm imple-
ments, dealers in, land, veterinaries
and any others at the picnics. We do
not believe in making these picnics a
place of advertising but we do believe
that the schools of any community
should be the center of the social ard
commercial interests of that commun-
ity. We believe that because the
school is public institution where all
classes Of people can meet on common
ground to discuss subjects of common
interest, it should become in every
community common meeting place,
where subjects of mutual interest may
be discussed by all of the people.
If you are interested in q better and
more prosperous county, county with
better homes, better schools, better
churches, and better citizens show
your interest in any plan to promote
the above although it may seem pre-
tentious. Nothing can be accom-
plished without people, but the inter-
est and cooperation of the people in
sure success in any plan.
Our plan is to hold an all day picnic
with picnic dinner in each township.
The teachers Of the various schools Of
the township will be present with as
many of the pupils and parents as are
interested. DR.. Stouder will reach two
townships day, speaking at one place
in the morning and one in the after
noon. The half day that the lecturer
is not present will be turned over to
play for the children and just good
social time for the teachers and par
ents. The lecture>will be of interest
to the women as well as to the men 80
we believe the day should prove to be
pleasant one for all. ~.y .
