ice and sawdust is so plentiful,
will put up a good supply of
ice.

Bruno farmers are arranging
to get better stock at scrub
prices and it looks as tho they
would succeed. They are organ
izing a bull association of four
communities where one bull in
each community will do the SER
vice of four or five existing bulls
and the beef value of these or 5
medium to poor grade bulls will
buy one good bull for each COM
munity. At the end of two
years the bull association will
move the bulls from one block to
the other in numerical order and
the investment will last eight
wears instead of two. Necessity
is the mother of invention and
the same thing, is true of this
bull association. If the fire had
not destroyed feed and forced
the sale of scrub stock these men
would not have formed bull as
ISOLATION in ten years, but under
the stress of circumstances and
the offer of the State Breeders
Association the Bruno farmers
called on the county agent
for Information and assistance in
starting a real bull association.
Ten years from now these same
farmers will look back to 1919 as
a beginning in livestock i'm
provement in Bruno and vicini-
ty.

Farm News
Edited by w. ]. COrwin, Manager
Pine County Farm
Bureau.

Nineteen farmers at Askov
prepare to increase the yield and
quality of Askov seed stock. A
seed plot Of about one-tenth
acre will be planted on each
farm. The seed will be selected
from the best we can find this
year, properly treated, and
planted according to the best
methods in cooperation with the
county agent.
During the. summer these
fields will be visited by the coun-
ty agent and all farmers inter
ested. If any diseases or mixed
varieties show up such plants
will be pulled out and destroyed.
Any other farmers wanting to
start seed plot in this way
should get their names on the
list with theA county agent and
the sooner the\better. The best
yielding and best type hills in
these plots will be saved for next
years seed plot. After two or
three years each farmer will
have seed enough for his whole
field that will be free from mix
ture, less disease in it and of
better type and yielding quail
ties.
The profits and markets of
Pine county potato growers can
be improved by $4,000 or more.
The only way to get this is for
every community to unite on one
or two standard varieties and
control the potato diseases.
Every farmer may adopt
single variety but if his variety
and bis neighbors' varieties are
not the same there is no stand
ardization in that community.
The car loads shipped out are
still mixed. The community has
no reputation. Every business
stands or falls on it's own repu-
tation.
Pine County's reputation
needs to be looked after. It's
not one mans job. Every far
mer needs the support and CO.
operation of every other farmer.
Grow less acres of better yield
ing. better type and quality, and
all of one variety and we will be
getting around the law of sup
ply and demand as much as we
can and at the same time be
building reputation for our
community.
In time our reputation and CO.
operative marketing will in
crease the receipts and profits
from our cash crop by at least
S34 900. 1t takes tenth of this
every year to run your county
Farm Bureau. The possibilities
in potato Improvement alone will
run ten Farm Bureaus.

While on the subject of civic
pride, may I take few lines of your
space to call attention to a number
of bedraggled rags that were once

worst offenders in this respect IS
that very patriotic and always &C

of the alag that adorns one of the

GARBAGE MEN QUIT
Refuse in Danville UncCllcctcd for
Eight Days.

Danville, Va, July 25.-,No gar
bage has been removed in the city
for the past eight days, owing to
disaffection among the city scanen-
gers, who are demanding a substan-
tial increase in pay. This has not
been granted them and many have
:;uit and secured positions IN tObac-

Citizens who are exercised over
the condition say that health CAM

less so long as household waste is
allowed to pile up IN back yards with
no certainty Of removal.
