meat, cooked grease, bones and other

These materials are weighed after

Governor Tells Large Gathering OF
Farmers Every Effort Should Be
Made to Preserve the Dairy
Products of State.

West Bend, Aug. 27.-Gov. E. L..
Philip addressed large gathering of
farmers near here He featured the
necessity of the farmers using every.
means in their power to prepare for
increasing their growing acreage, de-
spite the fact that they are so short of
help. Every class of labor through
out the nation is hard up for men"
said Governor Phillip, "and there is
all the more reason for the farmer do
ing his very best. I would urge that
special attention should be given. to
the herds. 1t has been stated that
many farmers have thought of giving.
up their herds because of the lack of
fodder. This would be great mis-
take. Do what you can to keep the
herds in the best possible form for
your own sake and that of the nation.
I know the temptation is hard to re-
SiSt in view of the large amount Of
help required in the dairy business and
the high price Of feed" said the gov
ernor. ut would be serious mistake,
however, as the dairy products are
badly needed and we do not want our
state to lose any of it's reputation in
that industry"
