PICNIC A SUCCESS
HOLSTEIN BREEDERS HAVE
FINE MEETING DESPITE
THE RAIN
100 men AND FAMILIES PRESENT
Several Excellent Addresses Ara
Given and Closely Followed
BY Audience

The rain Saturday morning did not
dampen the enthusiasm of Rusk
county Holster breeders. About one
hundred farmers and families were
present at the fair grounds to learn
more of the breed that is helping
them to clear up their farms and
accumulate a bank account.
Prof. B. Mac Dresden, of the train
ing school, gave an illustrated lecture
on the relation of the present war
emergency to the average farmer
He pointed out the many ways in
which the farmer can be Of value to
the government during the war.
E. ]. Delwiche, of the Ashland Ex-
pertinent Station, urged all farmers
to seed some winter grain. For the
new breaking he urged rye because
of the easy way with which good
stands are obtained on new break
ing and the absence of winter kill
ing. Winter wheat, he maintained,
would do well on well prepared SOIL
if seeded early in the fall. No man
in the north speaks with greater
experience than Mr.. Delwiche.
Al good crop of winter rye is ma
turing on the state Demonstration
Farm ait Conrath. This seed VIII
be sold to the farmers at the market
price for common rye. Place your
orders early.
Prof. E. G. Kraege, who represents
the James Mfg. Co., gave one OF
his usual good talks. He showed
by figures that the Holstein breed
has been setting some wonderful rec
ords in dairy production. Mr.. Kraege
urged the farmer who is in a posi-
ton to care for a pure bred calf to
get one and in this way establish
pure bred herd as he improved his
farm.
