and the Board the benefit of any
suggestions they may have to make
along the line of what the Farm
Bureau should do during the coming
year for their branch of agriculture.
1t was voted at the meeting that as
soon as possible after a program of
work is decided upon, a county wide
campaign be put on to familiarize
the farmers of the county with, what
the Farm Bureau is, what it stands
for, how it may be possible for it to
not only help the farmers of the
county, but every other person in the
county during the reconstruction
period, and why every farmer in the
county should be member.
A membership campaign will be put
on later and every farmer given a
chance to become a member of the
Farm Bureau, and every member
will be entitled to copy of the
Farm Bureau and which will contain
a large amount of practical infor-
nation which the busy farmer can
use from time to time. The idea is
to make the publication a sort of a
handy reference and it likely will
contain such matter as latest spray
formulas, directions for treating seed
grains for the various diseases, direct
ions for treating seed potatoes to pre-
vent diseases, something on the use
of lime and PHOSPHORUS on the farm,
a complete list of county officers,
Farm Bureau officers and Executive
committee, information as to where
pure cultures for the incubation of
legumes can be secured, and a great
many things besides, both thought of
and still to be brought to light. With
out a doubt most farmers already
have a great deal Of the information
or can get it, but the Farm Bureau
Annual will contain in a condensed
form and all under one cover the
boiled down facts gathered from a
great many publications.
The membership fee to the Farm
Bureau was voted to be one dollar
per year, and any interested person
can receive a receipt for their member
ship by renting the fee to either
the secretary or treasurer, and as
soon as the publication is ready for
distribution q copy will be mailed to
them.

rapidly spread burning brands
throughout a whole neighborhood.
For this reason prepared roofing
and shingles are everywhere being
adopted in place of other types of
roof. Prepared roofings have long
been known to offer effective resist
ance to fire, smothering fires which
occur under them and eliminating the
danger from flaming brands. They
are also the most economical and con-
venient material for roofing, being
easy to lay, low in cost, compact in
bulk and very durable.
The Government recognized these
facts by choosing vast quantities Of
prepared roofing for its great war
construction program. All the big
environments were rooted with it.
According to some authorities, had it
not been for the availability Of this
type of roof and its economy and con-
venience, the Government would have
been seriously handicapped in the
wonderful building record made.

VAN BUREN, COUNTY
cow TESTING ASSOCIATION
w. X. Miller, Tester
Report for December, 1918.

The best producing COW in the
Van Buren, County Cow Testing
Association for December 1918, is the
property of N. G. Dahl of Geneva.
She is Lasca of MADDEN, a pure bred
Guernsey, and her record for the
month is; days milk 1913 lbs; milk
for the month 1862 lbs; butterfat for
the month, 74.3 lbs; milk for the
month, 74.3 lbs.
! Mr.. Dahl has two other COWS max
ing good records Rine Glenwood CAB
lbs. and Mignonette of MADDEN 60
lbs. of butterfat for the month Of
December.
! Mr.. Dahl has for years endeavored
to raise good producing Guernsey
cows, but that is not all. He stands
as one of the first in the county in
taking care Of the banyard fertilizer.
When the manure can not go right
to the field il is stored in a cement
pit under cover.
month of December was produced r.
a herd of nine cows Jersey Guernsey
grade), the property of Mrs. B. Hath
away, Evergreen Lodge farm, south
east of Decatur. Mrs. Hathaway has
for twenty years managed her farm
as best she could and hired help O.
renter, and while this little herd Of
COWS did not give a very big flow of
milk, still for the month Of December
they produced very substantial
profit over the cost of feeding.
There are 277 COWS in the Van
Buren, County Cow Testing Associa-
ton and Of these only eleven pro-
duced over forty pounds Of butterfat
for the month; three from this herd
of registered Guelnseys of Mr.. Dahl's
three from herd of Jerseys belong
ing to Lemuel Nichols near Lawrence
and three come from a herd of Guern-
sey grades on l.. l.. Lawrence's farm
southeast of Decatur.
The cow testing work goes far to
show that any cow may not be a
profitable cow 1t shows what COW
is doing right along all the time
whether she pays or not; it shows that
bunch of good COWS we'll taken care
Of, can make a good profit even under
the high price Of feed. 1t also shows
in some instances that it costs money
to keep COWS. 1t all goes on the
books, and figures don't lie, and more
than anything it shows the results
of careful feeding. A COW should
have all she needs for her body sup
port and milk productions; but she
should not go to a party and eat a
little too much each day.
A pound of hay costs about a cent
and half, three pounds of hay extra
per day to a COW does not seem lot,
but for te ncows it amounts to $3.50
for one month. A good COW fed all
she has coming, and we'll taken care
of, is good property these winter days
with ~ cents for butterfat

Home saved by prepared roofing.
Just one house in Moose Lake
Minnesota that didn't burn.

There was just one oasis of safe
~ in the Moose Lake and Cloquete,
Minnesota district when those towns
were completely wiped out by fire re-
Gently, one house that is standing to-
day, although sixteen homes in the
immediate vicinity were burned to the
ground.
This home, which resisted the
sparks and burning embers with
which the air was filled, was rooted
with Certain-teed Asphalt Shingles.
The owner, Mr.. Louis Larson, says
that he owes the preservation of his
home to the Asphalt Shingles, be-
cause of the fact that practically rs
per cent of the Moose Lake houses
were burned after the fire had start
ed on the roof. He is naturally
rather proud of his choice of a roof
and is recommending the same
materials to his neighbors.
Instances multiply everywhere daily
which shows the old fashioned wood
shingles are not only non-resistant in
cases of general confagration, but are
a positive source of danger, as, in
addition to taking fire quickly, they

Governor Allen today. Wick was ac-
companied by his surviving daughter.

protested to Clyde NJ. Reed, the gov

clemency which might be accorded

The Wick murder was one of the

her wounds and is now able to walk.
Secretary Reed lives in Parsons and

He is familiar with facts surrounding
the brual wholesale killing.
Shortly before the Wick murder.
Mrs. Asa Smith was murdered at her
home in Labette county. Both crimes
were committed by negroes. Feeling
in the county was intense and a bitter
protest is expected in event any eff

murderers. Formal applications have
not been filed. -.
Governor Allen has not indicated

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

fresh strength today, and for the Septem-
Der delivery reached the highest price yet

stimulate established sentiment and so, too,
did scantiness of arrivals here. Besides.
European demand for corn in Argentina
was handicap to the bears. Opening
prices, which ranged from sc off TO 1c
up, with September $1-S9 to $1s9h and
December $1.61% to $161%. were followed
by a Temporary sag and sthen by moderate
gains all around.

ness of corn. After opening &c to &c
