FARM BUREAU PlcNics

The annual farm bureau associa-
tion picnics were held at the c.. o.
johnson farm in Rosebush on the
goth and at the, Andrew Westerlnnd
farm in Hovland on the 22nd.
Threatening weather deferred
many from attending the. Roshbush
picnic and showers eventually short
ened the program, but those who
ventured had the pleasure to listen
ing to Mr.. A. J. McGuire's interest
ing talk on dairying and what it has
accomplished for Minnesota. A fine
lunch served by. Mrs. c. o. Johnson,
assisted by other Of the ladies
present, closed the program pleas
antly. ga::<s: ss&s :
Beautiful weather favored the pic
mic gathering at Andrew Westerlund
farm on Friday afternoon Farm
bureau members with families and
friends, nearly $50 persons in all,
took, advantage Of the opportunity
for a social time with their neigh
bors and to hear the several speak
ers. Mr.. A. ]. Mcclure gave an en-
couraging and entertaining talk on
dairy farming and the development
of Northern Minnesota, speaking of
the similarity of present conditions
in this county to those in Mile Lac
/ 9nd Clearwater counties some if,
teen years ago when he helped in
the Organization Of their creameries
and predicting like development for
this county along dairy lines. Mr..
C. 0. Johnson, president of the farm
bureau association called attention
to the progress already made in Cook
county and the hopeful outlook for
the future. Mr.. S. c.. Murphy spoke
of the difficulties encountered by
the first settlers and contrasted for
mer conditions as to roads and mar
kets with those of the present, and
concluded with an appeal to the
farmers to support vigorously their
recently organized shipping associa-
tion. County Agent VIM. Clinch
spoke of the work of farm bureau
associations in securing cooperation
among the farmers for the better
ment of agricultural conditions. A
lunch substantial enough to be
clssed as a regular "mear' marked
the end of a perfect day and all
departed, feeling well repaid for the
hours given to social relation.

HE DAIRY COW .
FOR COOK co UNITY
I By3A. ]. McG Guire

@ I have been making occasional
visits sto Cook county for the past e.
years and I am more CONVINCED than
ever that dairying can be made the.
.surest SUI as well as the most prof ftable:
source of farm income for Cook scoun-.
". :s =. J. q. .. .;..s3 T s::5 Ss:s
IA the past you may have had
fttae trouble to sell butter to the
Best advantage, but now, with your
cooperative cream route and cash
market dairying should, and will, go
ahead fast. With dairying underway
fewer settlers will leave the county
and: it will be much easier to get
others to come in. y rs ) !. 'sSz' >,ss
4 The average common COW, well fed
and cared for, will produce close to
200 pounds of butterfat in year.
A good dairy bred cow will produce
around 300 pounds Of butterfat in a
year. For. the year 1918 the average:
price paid for butterfat by coopera-
tive creameries in Minnesota was 81
cents. The price of butterfat this
year, even in Cook county will be
over so cents a pound. At these
prices it is possible to have an in;
come of $1o0 per year from q com
mon cow and $3.50 from dairy bred
cows. This pays. and I want TO say
that it can be done without buying
high priced feed, if the farmer: will
grow shissoWn feed V !. =
s.{ Two acres of cleared. land;;s, we'll
cultivated, will produce sufficient
feed to supply winter feed for COW,
and some times it can be done on less
than two acres under the plow for
each cow, and with two acres of cut
over PASTURE and good! dairy cow,
you can turn that trick of $3.50 per
scow a. year.
I A cow can be pretty we'll fed dur
ling the winter on ~ tons of good
clover hay, l ton of oats in the straw
icut a little on the green side) and
2tons of rutabagas. For high pro-
ducing cows it will pay to use little
mill feed, but it is not necessary.
Cook county has already made a
good start in the improvement of it's
cows. The pure bred Holsteins sires
brought into the county a number of
years ago have made a splendid show
ing. This breeding should be; con
tinued. 1t will pay better now to
bring in pure bred sires than it did
10 years ago. A farmer who has a
start with black and white cattle
should continue with that breed.
A number of farmers have brought
in the Guernseys and many are in
terested in this breed. There is
plenty of room in Cook county for
both the Holsteins and Guernseys,
but they should not be crossed. We
make no progress when we cross
dairy breeds. What every farmer
should do who has common cows is
to cross them with a pure bred dairy
sire, and build up his herd along Of
one breed, and stick to the breed.
The resent cooperative movement
represented by the Cook County
Warehouse Association regard as one
of the best Undertakings that has
been made for the development of
Cook county. should expect you to
win out in dairying with the help of
this organization.

The following item from the Mon

that our former townsman, and a grad
uate of State College, Henry NJ. Shea,
is having all the troubles that assail
every state that goes on a dry basis.
when is a beverage a booze? It's
a question that Chemist H. NJ. Shea,
in the state food chemists office at
Bozeman, does not attempt to answer.
But Mr.. Shea is busily engaged in an
alyzing some 26 different brand OF
beverages offered for sale in Montana,
the samples having been submitted
by the state attorney general and the
various county attorneys.
while no figures are given out from
the state chemists office, it is under
that only n or two samples
SO far analysed have shown more
than one-half of one per cent OF al
More than this amount of al
cohol makes a beverage liable to fed
eral tax. Beyond the tests for alcohol
it is understood that other tests are
being made to determine the kind OF
coloring matter and other mixtures
in the beverages"

OF WAR

G.. A. Eberlein tells us that his old
home town, Grundy Center, Iowa, is
to have a captured German cannon as
a souvenir of the wal to be placed IL
some conspicuous place in their city,
This matter was promoted for the city
by one of their prominent citizens,
Ivan l.. Mast, a relative Of the Rev.
w. A. Mast of this city, and through
his efforts a bill has been introduced
in congress by their congressman to
enable the war department to donate
a cannon for that purpose. Why not
have such a souvenir in Brookings?
We are entitled to it, we sent a com
pany of men to war, we have done well
in all the war activities, we have
proved ourselves one hundred per cent
patriotic. Let us get busy on this, let
the Commercial club, the mayor or
the council start the movement. II
would be an appropriate relic for our
court house park, or when we build
that memorial to the soldiers of the
county, it will look well as an adofu-
ment for that. Now is'the time, don't
wait, but get right on the job and let
us have a captured German cannon
to remind us of what we have gone
through in the past two years, and
what our boys have done to make the
world safe.

and college student. In 1909 he en-

training camp, coming from that large
institution to State College at his own

he had decided that he preferred to
be among people and amid seer
where he IA acquainted and a-.,AONs

kept at it ever since, with a record
at the wal department full of recon-
mendations from commanding officers,
he comes to State College equipped
by nature and education to give the
students the highest grade of instruc-
