GOOD WORD FOR ASKOV

There is little question but
what this will be the greatest
dairy section of the state within
a few years. The farmers around
Askov have already demonstrated
what can be done with dairy
cows and silos. The rate at which
the silo is adopted here will in
dictate how rapidly our farmers
are getting into the real dairy
mems class and keep abreast of
the times. --Pine County (Sand-
stone) Courier.
