Boosts Farmers Activities.
Lack of more than a common school
education did not keep Mr.. Toole from
becoming a prominent figure in Wis
consin's agriculture, nor from being
an advocate Of the best possible edu-
cation for the young people. One Of
his own sons is a graduate Of the short
course at the state college of agricul-
ture, and another is a graduate of the
state university.
Mr.. Toole has attained conspicuous
success as an organizer of farmers
in his county for economic and social
work, and as an office holder in vari-
Gus state organizations. He has been
first vice president Of the Wisconsin
Wisconsin State Horticultural society
and member of it's executive commit
tee, and has presided over such local
clubs as the Sank County Agricultural
club, Excelsior Farmers club, the old
Baraboo Farmers alliance, Sank Coun-
! ty Horticultural society, Skillet Creek
Farmers club, and the Sank County
Corn Growers association.
Individual farmers have been bene-
flied by his inspiration and enthusiasm
as we'll as have groups of farmers. On
the platform and as writer for the ag-
ricultural press he has been a constant
champion Of better farming and bet
ter living. Because of his unselfish
and lifelong service to the best ideals
of our rural life, he was one of the
two men officially recognized by the
i University of Wisconsin in one of it's
annual recognition exercises in
! honor Of farmers who have rendered
conspicuous service in the interests of
agricultural thought and practice
