Business Farmer Is Main Factor.
The commercialiZed farmer who
makes plans and then puts them into
operation and keeps records OF his
transactions, costs and income, is best
able to measure the value of proper

FIFTY LEADING
BADGER FARMERS
Stephen Austin Baird, Dairy
Farmer and Farmer
Leader.

Some years after the trail of the In
dian through the woods of what is now
Waukesha county had been trans
formed into an OyergrOwn COW path
in 1854, to be more eXact-Stephen
Baird was born In the home OF his piO-
neer father and mother in Waukesha
township.
"Pushing the brush line north" is @
slogan which was not even necessary
in those days, nor was land clear
ing operation specialized job in GER
tain districts of the state. Ordinary
land clearing tools were the main part
of the farm eQuipment-Of the furn1-
ture, one might almost say. Farm
work demanded a strong back, but 1t
developed more than one strong mind.
Such solid industrious characters
among WiscOnsin's older farm leaders
as Mr. Baird is, were the products Of
the early struggle with virgin forests
and pioneer difficulties which put
premium on common sense and self
reliance.
"If live stock is worth producing at
all it is worth producing as we'll as we
are able" That's the essence of many
q talk which Mr.. Baird has given on
the farm institute platforms and In
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1920-08-19

various farmers meetings. And he
has perfect right to talk with author
ity about breeding and feeding good
live stock, because his farming meth
DDS have produced model dairy farm
which has been recognized as one Of
the best managed in the state, in pro-
duction and in general layout. ,.-~z-....i
Neighbors and co-wotkers of Ste
phen Baird know him as q wide
awake. conservative business man who
works in a quiet, persistent way In
many important farmer movements in
his community and in the state Six
local farmer organizatlQnas have been
led by him at one time or another, and
his work as president Of the Wiscon-
sin Livestock Breeders association
and Of the international dairy show at
Milwaukee in 1912 have demonstrated
his ability as a safe, sane farm leader.
1t was only fitting that he should have
been one of three Wisconsin farmers
hOnOred this year at the annual recOg-
milton exercises at the University of
Wisconsin.
Bairdland, as his model dairy farm
is called, IS q sort of monument to his
work and ability as a downright good
farmer who can speak with authority
on the various aspects of livestock
production, and whose dips into the
future outlook for agricultural Wis
consin have always been worth con-
sidering and worth hearing. \

A re-arrangement Of routine for
stated meetings was suggested by some
members Of the Presbytery Of New
Castle. in informal conversation before
the i02d stated meeting at Dover on
Tuesday.
According TO a plan adopted some time
ago the two stated meetings held for
two days each. annually, were extended
TO four stated meetings yearly. The
fall and spring meetings were to con-
tlnue for two days each, but the added
meetings OF summer and winter were
stipulated 10 be one-day sessions.
The result has been a very small at
tendance at the One-day sessions, as
members seem to have felt there would
only be leftover business cf routine
nature at these sessions. one idea sug-
gested since 10 is evident two meetings
wear are not sufficient, but there is
comparatively little TO be done at the
two added sessions is that the program
shall be equalzed. Some members
would like 10 have all four meetings
made into one-day sessions, and the
amount OF business more evenly dlNid-
ed. They also point out that such ar
rangement would do away with the need
Of entertainment Of delegates over night.
