RECORDS IMPORTANT IN CLUB
WORK.

Boys and girls in club work learn
to keep accurate accounts from day

feeding, for example, their records
contain such items as cost Of feed,
cost of hired labor, il any, value Of
club members time or labor, receipts
from sales or value at end of feed

the value 0f the work to the boy or

tions made by the 1919 Legislature
in. regular and special sessions AMI
2.43 mills necessitatod by acts OF pre-
vious legislatures.
War expenses are reflected in the
state tax rates, the new rate, which
broke all records for high levels, hav-
ing been approached by the 6-nill
rate Of 1866 at the end Of the Civil
war 1t was compared also with the
lowest Minnesota rate of 2.7 mills IN
1910 and with the 1913 rate of s
mills and the 1917 rate of 5.S mills.

Practical reports from the various
contrasting associations throughout
the country show the value of this
work of separating the chaff from the
wheat in cowdom. The modern cow
testing association is the best scientific
agency for isolating and Graduating
the drones from the herd, while it also
is of value as detector of the highest
producing animals. Such studies of
the cows appetite, digestion and pro-
duction are the economical and logical
methods of increasing the net earn

One Ohio contrasting association,
whose members owned 3SJ COWS last
year. reports an association average of
345 pounds of butterfat per COW, and
that the present production of the
cows is 72 pounds of fat more apiece
than it was at the first Of the year.

nounces that its expenses during the
last five years have been below $4,000
while the value Of the increased pro-
