Farmers And Stockmen Meeting


 Many farmers are talking of buying pure bred live stock this spring, many inquiries coming in asking about pure bred cattle In order to see who are in- terested and make it possible for those who are interested to get together and buy what they want at the lowest prices and get them in with as little expense as possible, every farmer interested is asked to attend a meeting at Berryville. March. "A 1917 at 50 p. m.
 It is needless to say that the extra profit from the growing of pure bred cattle would soon pay the price paid for the cattle, and that pure bred and high grade stuff can be raised and brought to maturity as cheaply as scrubs, the satisfaction of having the better class of cattle on the farm is an item not to be overlooked. If you want to interest the boys in farm life and or high grade cattle and give the boys an interest in them and you cant run them away from the farm.
 If we will all get together and buy together we can save quite bit on the initial investment By properly scattering these cattle over the coun- ty we will be able to use them to 6 bet ter advantage, and will be able to eX- change bulls when we have used them as long as we can without inbreedng.
 The counties south of us are in the campaign :o eradicate the ticks and when they have cleaned them out will be locking for pure bred cattle, if we will get busy and go after this business right we will be able to sell them much of the cattle they will need to start in the pure bred business.
 We hope that every man who is in- terested in better stock will make an effort to attend this meeting. Let's get busy and persuade our neighbors to come. too.
 Yours for better live stock,
 Ben F. Greer,
 County Agent.
 A Mrs. Ward, living some four or five miles from town, was here few days ago with 96 gallons of onion sets which she sold to H. L Leonard & Sons and which brought her something over $40. She stated that she had saved Is gallon for her own use, also had peck of onion seed cleaned out and ready to plant to make seed for an- other year. It does look like if one woman can raise 9S gallons to sell every woman could raise at least enough for home use Leslie News.
 This is the time of the year for the planting of trees and it is the duty of every man, woman and child to plant at least one tree. No country is com plete without some sign of Natures reaching arms stretched upward to- ward the Master Forester No com munity fulflls its obligations to the world and no man fulfils his obligations to the coming generations who does not care for the trees that are growing and see that in every available space that some tree is planted, that it may in the future lend beauty to the com munity and pleasure and protection to it's inhabitants.
 No easing has yet been received at the Batavia oil prospecting drill, hence every thing is at a standstil. The ship ment of casing is reported however, to have been started several days ago from some point in Michigan. The matter is in the hands of MT. Gore, who is in Virginia, and those interested here are not in very close touch with him. It had been planned to bail out the water Tuesday and make an examina- tion as to the exact extent of the oil standing on top of the water, but the inclement weather interfered with the plan, as it was side scheme of ".
