YOUNGEST GRAND CHAMPION
IS PETROLEUM PILOT

Petroleum Pilot, owned by Walter f.
Besecker, of WalWOrth county, Wis, is
the youngest grand champion boar the
Chester White breed ever had. He was
narrowed Sept. 16, 1918, and was made
grand champion at the Indiana state
fair before he was IL months old. He
was sired by Petroleum Giant, boar
with eight grand championships to his
credit. 0
This great young boar also carries
the distinction of being the highest
priced under year Chester White boar
ever sold, as Mr.. Besecker paid $2,175
for him last October. He has been pro-
nounced by many who have seen him
to be the best boar at his age the breed
has produced.
Last week saw a half dozen organi-
cations connected with the farming in.

leges and Experiment Stations, the
American Farm Economic association
the Association of Commissioners of Ag-
riculture, American Society of Agrono
my, etc. Almost every state in the
union was represented, and all Chicago
was talking about the farmer. In Craw-
ford county this week as well as last
week, everybody is also talking about
the farmer, what is the matter with
him, what can be done for him, how
the standard of country life can be
raised, how the farmer can get more
money for his work, how farm prices
can be stabilized, how more land can
be brought into cultivation, how the
farmer can have more influence in the
affairs Of government. how the farmer
must save the nation from anarchy,
and hundred and one other things.
And all because of the great farm bu-
reau drive that is now taking place in
the county. The solicitors are meeting
with good success in their drive for
membership, and the organization bids
fair to become a fixture. And the farm
bureau will help to decide all the ques.
tons enumerated above, and will prove
of lasting benefit to the farmers of the
