Boys Calf Club.

wisconsin youths are in training
that they may maintain the leading
place in the dairy world which their
fathers have won. Indivative of their
interest in livestock is the organiza-
ton of boys and girls calf clubs.
Two new clubs have been formed this
spring. The Jefferson County club,
under the leadership of j. M Coyner,
has so members. The Winnebago
County Calf club has 125 members
and will increase it's membership to
200. Every boy and girl in Winneba-
go county has a chance to join. G. A.
Sell, county agent, is visiting every
rural school in the county to tell the
youths about the clubs. The bank
ers are lending money to the boys
and girls to make their purchases.
Not any ordinary calf can be pur-
chased. Scrubs are barred from
be pure bred and the heifers either
pure bred or high grade. The senior
class consists of calves born since
August 1st and the junior class of
ones since Feb. LIST.
The Portage County Calf club is
in the ring again this year. For
three years this has been the winner
at the state fair. The grand cham
pion heifer of all classes and the
grand champion Holstein last year
were both in the Portage county club.
Other counties which have calf clubs
are Buffalo, Waukesha and Calumet.
Never did the boys and girls
calf club work look so bright as
now" says E. ]. Cooper, assistant
state leader OF, the clubs. while the
financial profit from the clubs in the
state last year was $21,65O, the good
that the clubs do for the boys and
girls cannot be measured in dollars
and cents

Don't Forget the Garden.

Don't forget to include the home
garden as one of your main lines OF
work the coming season. If you have
not already made your plans for a
garden do so at once. Select, fertil-
ize, and prepare your ground as soon
as possible. The seed supply should
also be looked after and ordered at
the earliest possible date, in order to
prevent disappointments and delays
in planting. See that the garden in
cludes good variety of vegetables,
and also plant it so that it will con-
tinue to work for you and supply your
table with fresh vegetables through
out the entire summer and fall. Too
many gardens are abandoned after
the first crop of vegetables is har-
vested in the spring. If you have not
had experience in gardening consult
your county agent as to best adapted
vegetables, varieties and other adj
vice.

Sow Oats Early.

To obtain maximum yields, SOW
oats as early as it is possible to get
land in satisfactory condition. This
crop grows best in cool weather, and
frequently is injured considerably by
a few hot days when approaching ma
turity, and light frosts or even Sc
we're freezes after the seed is sown
rarely injure it. The date of seeding
naturally depends on the locality and
season. In the corn belt the best
date is usually from about March 25
to April Is. In the more northern
states seeding during the latter half
of April is advisable whenever con-
ditions permit. In favorable seasons
seeding before the middle of April
frequently can be done to advantage,
while in unfavorable ones, seeding
may have to be delayed until early
Nav.

wisconsin ShOrthOrn Steers Sell
High In Chicago.
BY Geo. w. Davies.

Two loads of Shorthorn steers Of
wisconsin origin were sold on the
Chicago market late in 1918 for
$685. and $1,000 per hundred weight
respectively. The load that sold for
$685. were fed by Griswold Bros
Livingston, and the load that sold
for $500 was bred by O'Neal Bros.
Shullsburg. In turn each of these
loads made the record for Wisconsin
steers on the Chicago market.
The reason that these steers were
of such quality and weight as to win
the favor of the buyers is that thew
were sired by pure bred Shorthorn
bulls. The value of the good sire is
demonstrated day after day on every
market in the country. There is in
yariably a discrimination between the
inferior kinds and the better class
and always in favor of the latter,
Good blood is just as essential as
good feed and care. They go hand in
hand and when combined the results
mean profits for the producer.
1t costs something now to grow a
beast till it is three years old and if
there is going to be any profit there
must be quality and weight both.
Many are going to market now as
two-year-olds and many as yearlings
in the form of baby beef Here again
weight and quality determine the
profit The man who is growing the
inferior kind lacking in either weight
or quality or both, as they do, has
small chance to make a satisfactory
profit The easy way is through the
medium of the pure bred sire. No
more important investment can be
made on the farm than that of a
good pure bred bull of the desired
type.

Select Beef Breeding Bull Now.

1t is now time to select the herd
bull for breeding purposes during
March and April. Those who did not
make such provision last fall should
not delay longer for best results. AS
rule the herd bull should be secur-
ed several weeks previous to the
breeding season. Il the bull has been
running with the breeding herd all
winter, he should be given a stall and
paddock by himself so that he may
be better cared for and fed more lib
orally. Especially is this true if he
is thin in condition. It is essential
that the herd bull be in strong, Wig
orous condition.

Rival Cow Clubs Formed in Sank Co

Baraboo-To place Sank county
among the leaders as a production
center for good livestock is the aim
OF group of stockmen in the west
ern part Of the county. At meetings
OF Holstein and Shorthorn breeders
moves were made to make that sec
ton noted for the quality of it's cat
tie. Holstein breeders in the Logan
vile community, under the leadership
OF Fred Kruse, organized an all-Hol-
stein testing association. A further
requirement for membership was that
all herds must be headed by a pure
bred Holstein bull The Shorthorn
men, not to be outdone by their Hol-
stein neighbors, have organized a
Shorthorn cow testing association
along the same plan. According to
reports received at headquarters OF
the Better Wisconsin campaign, Wis
consin now has six COW testing as
sociations using only pure bred sires
Besides the Sank county associations
they are the West Bend, Washington
county; The Greenville, Outagamie
county; the Dodge county; and the
Haven-Cleveland, Sheboygan county
associations.

The Wisconsin pedigreed barley
was found superior to all other bar
leys in the variety tests conducted
and was therefore chosen for the
comparative tests between grains.
Another advantage which barley has,
points out R. A. Moore, agronomist
at the Wisconsin Experiment station,
is that it is the best nurse crop for
clover and grass seedlings. When
used for this purpose, l bushel, 1
peck of barley gives the best results.

Armour and Company
NOT i'm the Retail
Grocery Business

CERTAIN jobbing statesmen are circulating
reports to the effect that Armour and Company
control certain retail grocery stores are plan
ming to enter into the retail grocery business
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1919-03-19

These reports are utterly
and absolutely false. We de-
sire to brand them as such once
and for all. Armour and Com
pdny do not control any retail
grocery stores wholly or in
part. Neither have we any affili-
alton or connection in any way
whatsoever with any owners of
any retail grocery stores. Armour
and Company haze no inten-
fiOn of engaging in the retail
grocery business.
Armour and Company distri-
butte and sell a very limited num-
Der of food lines not directly pro-
duced from livestock. This is only
the result of natural evolution.
Our system of distribution and
marketing must be maintained
with the greatest possible eff
cheney. It is necessary, for reasons
of economy, that it handle as great
avolume at all seasons as possible.
This same distributive system
enables US to carry staple foods to
the people of this country with
greater efficiency and at a cost
that is low commensurate with
the service. If our facilities are
such that we have been able to
serve the public more economi-
cally and efficiently than our COM
petitors, then it is the retailer and
consumer who benefit.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1919-03-19

Armour and Company are more
than packers. They are food pur-
Uey0rS. But, our participation in
grocery lines represents only 40
per cent Of our total business.
Yet, wholesale grocery houses
whose representatives spread
these false reports are, themselves,
engaged in numerous side-lines
far removed from edible products.
A recent bill of goods which we
purchased from wholesale gro
Ger, contained more than forty
items, NOT one of which could
be used for food except by
an ostrich.
Reports of our engaging, or in
tending to engage, in the retail
grocery business are, without ex-
ception, untrue. In the words of
Mr.. ]. Ogden Armour, "We have
no intention of adding the woes of
retailing to the burdens of manu-
featuring and distributing"
Armour and Company will con-
tinue toregardallretailers as ourco-
workers. BY means of our refrig-
orator cars and our branch houses
it will be our effort to continue to
provide them with the finest foods
of ali kinds that we can select and
prepare under the quality mark
Of the OVAL LABEL.
