OPENS PURE BRED BULL DRIVE
State Makes War on Scrub and
Grade Sires

The echo of the opening gun fired in
a statewide pure bred bull campaign
was heard here when definite plans
were laid for the Inauguration of the
Better Wisconsin Campaign" locally.
At Madison a comprehensive program
has just been outlined which it is con-
tidently expected will be made opera
tive in Vernon as well as in every
other county in the state, where coun-
ty agents or other leaders will head
the drive.
War has been declared on the scrub
and grade sires. None but pure bred
bulls should be tolerated, in the opin-
ion of those heading the movement.
1t is pointed out in substantiation of
this that stock owners need no argu-
ment to convince them that many of
their scrub cows do not even pay
their board.
"Yet" declared Frank G. Swoboda,
head of the executive committee IN the
pure bred bull drive, "many of these
self-same stock owners will continue
year after year with inferior herds
when all they would have to do in or
der to increase their production would
be the securing of pure bred bull.
One pure bred sire will make an ex-
cellent start toward increased pros
perity for the owner"
Reid Murray, Wisconsin dis
trict supervisor of county agents who
has met numerous visiting delega-
tions of buyers is authority for the
statement that of approximately 12,-
900 Wisconsin dairy animals purchas-
ed during the past year by buyers
from other states, none was of scrub
breeding. There is no market for the
progeny of scrub bulls. Clergymen,
bankers, editors, county agents, repre-
sentatives of community breeders as
sociations, COW testing association Of
ficials, teachers and school superin-
tendents, farmers, stock owners, bust
ness and professional men are being
enlisted in the"Better Wisconsin Cam
paign."
Your county agent is ready to help
in any way he can Those who have
pure bred bulls on hand should list
them with him, and those wanting one
should send in their names and wants.
Address: Viroqua, Wisconsin, Phone
60.
There will be meeting of breeders
who will draw up a definite plan of
putting on a pure bred bull campaign
in Vernon county. The following men
are some of the breeders who will or
ganize and back it up: Melvin STATS
lien, J. ID. Beck, Will Lindemann, C.
w. POWELL, Selmer Neprud, Hans Chris
tenson, T.. j. Jennings, Jacob Aberg,

Edgelton Tobacco Reporter makes
following comment on the general sit
uation:
The new year finds. the country
blanketed with snow but with mOder-
ate temperatures prevailing to facl-
itate the movements of the holiday
week. The receiving of the early pur-
chases of the tobacco crop is now well
under way at the various delivery
points and the tobacco is generally
coming in in very good packing condi-
ton. Packers are discovering that it
requires heap Of cash to move the
crop, when a single carload means an
outlay from $4,000 to $4,000
While none of the larger operators
are making much effort to add to their
holdings, there is more of the crop be-
ing sold all the time than is realized.
Buyers are quietly at work in a good
many sections and all seem to be doing
some business when they can bring the
grower around to accept 20 cents or
whereabouts. AS a general thing the
farmers are not willing as yet to lower
their asking price WHICH is consider
ably in advance Of these figures.
AT several of the market points
warehouse work of handling the crop
viii be started the coming week and
from then on increase help will be
needed until the business is under full
swing.

Howe's Famous Film CIassic Coming


The renowned classic in film shows,
Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival, is
coming to the Opera House on next
Tuesday, with an even greater variety
of subjects than usual. The latest
Howe entertainment is cast along the
lines Of former programs, but this
seasons effort is entirely new and or
iginally fresh, and, like bon-bon box,
every morsel in it is a pleasing sur
prise.
Among the headline features are
hair raising aviation stunts by our
fighting marines, including loops,
banks, spins, dives and many eccentric
yet graceful movements which are
pictured wildly; the thrilling capture
of ferocious wild animals alive in the
Rockies; a perilous jungle trip to
Kaieteur Falls in British Guiana; a
life-like reproduction in clay of the
popular Red Cross poster, Greatest
Mother in the World" a quaint tour
of old Mexico; gentle scenes of peace
full southern France, enhanced by ma
tural coloring; and Scenic Distor-
Tons, an extraordinary film in which
some very peculiar and grotesque eff
fects are disclosed.
The program is properly seasoned
with genuinely humorous comedy car
toons and inspiring patriotic novelties,
the product of the Howe studios.
