PIERCE co. STOCK STATISTICS

Some highly interesting statistics
concerning Pierce County have just
been compiled for the State Depart
ment of Agriculture by j. A. Becker,
joint crop statician for the State and
F.leral Departments. These stats
tics cover farm labor supply, daily
milk production per COW, price re-
ceived for milk, and total value OF
milk produc.
From these it appears that the
present supply if farm labor in the
county of Pierce is II per cent OF nor
NAL; that the present demand for
farm labor is 123 per cent of normal.
The cows of the county in 1919 were
MIXED an average of 288 days each
and their average daily yield was
16.5 pounds, for which an average
price of 1924 per cwt. was received.
The total value of the milk product
for the year was $3,495,S21. .

prevented from exploiting as of old
so that funding and refunding on
which the public pays the freight
like the old wisconsin Central lines"
financial record is a matter of the
past. The average railway is well
managed but the problems, including
financing with present demands for
wages and service are so large and
hard to solve that it will tax the
ability of any organization working
under a variety of heads, to meet
the conditions that confront the rail-
ways today.
A portion of the above letter die
tated yesterday regarding the soldier
bonus bill must be modified. After
a vigorous four-hour discussion in a
Republican conference Friday night
at which were present the Speaker,
Ex-Speaker Cannon and all the lead
ers, the insurgent element of the
House opposed to the consumption tax
to vigorously protested against its
insertion in the bill that an adjourn
ment was taken for several days with
the likelihood that some of the meth
DDS urged by the writer on the adj
vice of Treasury experts which had
previously been presented to the COM
mittee will be accepted by the COM
mittee and adopted by the House.
This is only prediction, but in the
conference l had the support of the
united Wisconsin delegation, all of
whom were present.
