COW TESTING.
u
The Working Plan of Cow Testing
Association-Objects Sought and
Results Obtained-Why Not More
Than One Association in Fulton

You can hardly pick up an Agri-
cultural paper now that does not
have monthly reports of from one to
half dozen cow testing associations.
These reports give the cows which
produced over 40 lbs. of butter fat or
over 1000 lbs. milk during the month
They could just as well include the
cost of feeding these cows for the
month and the profit which they pro-
luced over cost of feed, for the COW
testing association records contain
these facts.
/ We, in Fulton County, pride our
selves on having the best dairy
County in the State but why do we
not take more interest in knowing
accurately what our cows are doing.
It matters not whether they are
grades or purebreds. 1t is folly to
keep them if they do not produce milk
at profit.
+ Mighty few milk producers in Full
ton County can give definite figures
on what it is costing them to produce
100 lbs. of milk, but practically all
are convinced that they are making
mighty little profit If not producing
at an actual loss.
In the past, when the butterfat IN
a cows milk had little effect on the
price received, perhaps there was not
so much need of cow testing associa-
tions but now with cut of four
cents for every point under 3.5 per
cent it makes difference.
Some may ask how cow testing
association operates. Tt is an organi-
zation of 26 dairymen which has for
its purpose the elimination of cows
which are conscientious objectors"
In the matter of production.
A tester is hired who spends one
day with each member each month.
On that day he weighs the night and
morning milk from each COW in the
herd, tests it for butter-fat and
figures what it will bring when sold
/ to the condensory. The feed is also
weighed and its cost figured at mar
ket price. The cost of the feed is
subtracted from the value of the milk
leaving the profit over cost of feed.
The amounts for the one days pro-
duction of each cow are multiplied
by the number of days in the. month
and credited to each COW in an indivi-
dual record book which is furnished
each member by the U. S. Dept. of
Agriculture. A record of the cost
Of feed is kept on each cow every
month in the year whether she is dry.
or not. At the end of the year the
records for each month are added
giving the result for the year.
The testers are usually paid from
so to IS dollars a month and board
and each member hauls him to the
next members place once each month.
The cost to each member is $3.50 per
months
A COW testing association in a
community almost invariably results
in Increased production for the herds
of that community, not because the
cows know they ae in a cow testing
association, but because the loafers
are culled out and the better produ-
GERS are given better feed and care.
We have one cow testing associa-
ton practically organized in county.
! We should have three or four and
we will be very glad to help the
Edairymen of any community to get
one started.

A GREAT DAY IN WAuSEON

seon Great Success in Spite Of Weather
One Thousand Meals Served

In spite of the inclement weathe,
the Home Com ng and Peace Cele-
bration Of Wednesday was a great
success. Everyone seemed to be
happy and having a good time. There
were approximately 400 World War
soldiers present, with wives, sweet
hearts. Civil War and Spanish War
Veterans swelling the crowd and all
enjoying themselves apparently.
The simple service, in connection
with the Mayors welcome which was
short, to the point and well given:
paid silent tribute to the boys we
shall not meet again on earth, but
whose loyal souls live IN the midst
of better things than we could ever
give them.
The Banquet committee and SUBJ
committees served delicious dinner
that was appreciated by about 800
persons; another 200 were served with
supper, making in all about 1000 per-
sons who enjoyed the bounty and the
service of the people of the com
munity who worked together to min
lister to appetites of the BOYS whom
we all hope may never again be call
ed upon to subsist on Army rataons
in foreign land.
The attractions were of the highest
order and certainly were appreciated
by the crowds who watched Their
performances. For the rest; it was
a gala day and gala crowd. orderly
but happy and bent upon having a
good time in spite of wind and wea-
ther."
The Committees and their helpers
all carr ed out the work in their
charge to perfection, no one failed.

Use OF Suffrage" "A Paper Prepared and Read
Before The Woman's Club of Wauseon
by Mrs. Fanny Standish
wOMANS CLUB MEETING

The second meeting of the Wauseor
Womans Cub for the club year 1919
20 proved to be a very valuable and
helpful meeting for the members
privileged to attend. Following the
general topic for the year "Recon-
struct.on Problems," Mrs. Fanny
Standish pesented a paper discuss
ing the Preparation Needed by Wo-
men for the Intelligent Use of Suf-
frage" which showed careful study
and developed many pract cable ideas
for the attainment of such prepara-
tion. Mrs. Eby and Mrs. Dodds fol
lowed with brief discussions of
phases of the question presented by
Mrs. Standish: Mrs. Dodds touching
upon the passage of the Nineteenth
Amendment (Federa Equal Suffrage)
and the responsibility it brings upon
women to make the best use of the
electoral franchise; closed her re-
marks with the following:
"When it does come, we should
vote when it is our privilege. Try
Il understand the questions upon
which we vote. Learn something Of
the character and fitness of the man
or woman for whom we vote. Vote
only for honest men and support only
honest measures. Continue to vote
for a righteous although defeated
cause as long as there is a reasonable
hope of victory.
Mrs. F. H. Reighard discussed the
new law authorizing the sd strict
Board Of Heath" System and the
proposed Health Budget for Fulton
County. Mr.. R. A. Cave, County
Agent gave very interesting and
instructive address. Miss Gertrude g
Barber gave two excellently rendered
piano solos. The Cub. rendered Mr..
Cave and Miss Barber a ris ng vote
Of thanks for their splendid contri-
buttons to the program.

WAUSEON HI WINS

- AAN4N11NU UANI
After lapse of three years Wan
seon High School has developed !,
baseball team which, though wild a
hrst, shows great promise of de
vsoplng into an extra good team
Inc team was entirely green anc
nervous never having played to
gether and it took them four inning;
TO settle down. They were playing
team that had a victory to its cred.
1T and came here confident, running
over with enthusiasm and well or.
ganized. In the first four innings
Delta scored eight runs on two hits
seven bases on balls, four errors and
four passed balls. But the Wauseon
boys were not nervous at bat and
with four hits, two errors, one base
on rails and six sacrifice bunts made
seven runs. In the fifth inning Wau-
seon started with a new battery and
the spectators saw eight innings of
real baseball. In eight innings Delta
could score only three runs. In five
dlfferent innings only three men
faced the pitcher. In the sixth inn
ng Wauseon tied the score with two
hits, base on balls and two sacri-
flee bunts. In the ninth Delta scored
two runs with two hits. sacrifice
hit and a wild heaye by Wh'pp' over
third baseman's head. With the weak
Wauseon batters up every one thot
the game lost. But the Wauseon
team now were full of fight and de-
termined to retrieve their blunders
of the first inn 'ngs. Baer hit safely
Whipple sacrificed and Outcalt doubl-
ed scoring Baer, Outcalt stole tn I'd
on Shorts sacrifice, Fisher famed.
In the twelfth Outcalt first up hit,
stole second and scored on Shorts
single over first base.
All spectators admit that Wauseon
boys fought hard all the way, Out
cat and Shumaker's run getting was
one feature of the game, each scor-
ing. four runs. Lehman's pitching
was first class. In the eighth inning
he threw only three balls. In nine
innings he walked only two men, one
in the fourth and one in the fifth.
Wauseon's ability to score from third
base on sacrifice bunts accounted for
seven runs. Whipple caught a fine
game. the heave over third base be-
ing his only wobble.

Congressman c. j. Thompson Reveals
Big Salaries Pad To Railroad Ad-
minstraticn Staff-Administ aticn
Reeks With Extravaganza =.

The following clipping from the
New York Times of September 10Th
will be of interest to the people of
the Fifth Ohio Congressional d strict
in-as-much as it will apprise them of
the fact that their representative
Mr.. Charles J. Thompson is by nc
means asleep at his post but on the
contrary is very much awake and ac-
tive in searching out the primary
reasons for the present high cost of
living, fneff.ciency and unrelability
of certain public utilities and a few
other conditions that we are finding
detrimental to welfare, comfort, pro-
gress and prosperity of the citizenship
of this country of ours at the present
time.
Mr.. Thompson, in our opinion. has
by his investigation shed cons der
able light on the question of Govern
ment Control of the railroad.
Washington, Sept. 11-Seventy-
two officials of the Railroad Admin
,lstration, described as "men on the
staff of the Director General" are
receiving annual salaries aggregating
1898, COO, according TO an extension
of remarks N today's Congressional
record by Representative Thompson
Republican of Ohio, who charged that
other Government agencies "seem 70
have utter disregard for economical
expenditure of public funds"
Railroad Administration officiels re-
ceiving the bg salaies were given by
Mr.. Thompson as follows. Five at
$50,000 each, two at SAC, 900, three at
$4,000, two at $4,000, eight at $685.
900, eleven at $4,000, one at S18.-
500, one at $4,000, one at S17.5O0
six at $4,000, one at $4,000 one at
$4,000, one at $12,500, four at $12,-
600, one at $10.800, one at $10,-
600 and twenty-three at $4,000.
Railroad Administration officials
were described by Representative
Thompson as "princes who sit in up
holstered furniture and swivel chairs
amidst luxurious surroundings, living
as tax eaters"
Meanwhile Post Office employees
he declared. have not been paid liv.
ing wage though "the entire Govern
ment reeks with extravaganza"
Mr.. Thompson enumerated salaries
from $4,000 to $1,000 year paid to
the Housing Bureau, organized with
an understanding that t would be
discontinued automatically at the enc
of the war Salary increases. how.
ever, have been made to several EN-.
ployees, he said. since the signing OF
the armistice. One advance from Sc,
900 to $4,000 resulted IN "such g
dust being kicked up about it that ]
think the employe has been let out. ,
GAS fast as Congress endeavors tc
put on the brakes" he said, "the bu
reaus of the administration devise
wavs and mems to create deficiencies
and perpetuate its army of politica
yrafters."

OF the town as well as inside those
limits were generous in their contri-
buttons of money, food stuffs and
labor. In fact all worked together
as a community harmoniously and
the result was exactly what was de-
sired demonstration of our appre-
clatlon OF our Fulton County soldiers
and sailors and an expression of our
gratitude for their return to civil
lfe. 1t was day that will long live
in the memory of the present genera
tion.
The Banquet Committee desire to
express their appreciation Of those
VINO donated so generously toward
the dinner and to state that they
are sorry they did not have time to
call on every one in the community:
but when Fulton County folks get
started they do things on a liberal
scale and there was no chance to get
all around before there was enough
and more. There may be an oppor-
unity sometime in the future to call
those who were not reached this
1e. ~
a report of the Executive Com
mittees receipts and expenditures
will be given later.
Appreciation
We wish to thank the ladies and
gentlemen who helped so faithfully
and efficiently in serving the dinner
for the soldiers on Wednesday. Their
splendid work was a large factor in
maxine the occasion the great success
which it was.
