County Wool Growers Convention.

County Wool Growers Convention.
Although Wisconsin sheepmen pro-
duce superior grade of wool, they
have not been receiving top prices for
their clips. A large number of Grant
county farmers have written the
County Agent that they wish to mar
ket their wool comparatively An or
ganization has been formed in Wis
consin under the leadership of some
of the best wool growers in the state
whereby any farmer who produces
wool may receive the advantages of
this organization.
A county convention Of all wool
growers of the county is called to
meet at the high school at Fennimore
on Thursday, April 20, at 1 80 p. m.
l.. G. Foster of the Division of Mar
kets at Madison will be present to ex-
plain the system of grading and mar
keting that will be followed under the
direction of the Wisconsin Division of

citation. Everyone interested is invit-
ed to he present at this meeting.
A Live Community Organization.
The Mt Hope Cow Testing Associa-
ton is proving its value as a means
not only of better dairying, but of
better farming in general. This asso-
citation under the leadership of Frank
Barber as COW tester has a large num-
Der of COWS that produced from 40
to so pounds of butterfat during the
month of March. A carload of high
grade Holstein heifers was recently
purchased and are doing we'll under
the good care given them. Farmers
in the association are making plans
for liberal applications of limestone
and commercial fertilizer and are
planning to SOW some alfalfa in their
grass seed mixtures. Nearly all of
the members will use soy beans for
silage purposes. The association is
entirely free from the scrub bull as
all members are using pure bred sires
in their herds.
"AnOther Live One"
The North Andover Farmers Club
is organized to make farm life pleas
anter and more profitable. At a re-
cent meeting, Soils Club of thirteen
members was formed. Orders were
taken by the secretary of the Farm
ers' Club for carload of commercial
fertilizer and boys and girls interest
ed in club work were enrolled for
their different projects. 1t only needs

interested to have good, live farmers

Grandma Dudley
Has 9Oth BirJnaay.

Mrs. Elizabeth Dudley had a beau
tiful anniversary on Thursday of last
week, her Goth birthday. AT her
home in this city she received hun
dred and more remembrance. Flow
ering plants, cut flowers, fruits, boxes
of choice candies, cards and letters
containing words dearest of all came
to make her very happy. Among the
greetings was the following pretty
poem penned by Mrs Fannie Liddle
of Fennimore:
l cannot come to greet you, o
Grandma Dudley dear,
Upon your goth birthday and help
to make good cheer.
But with all your dear ones round
you, the babies and the sage,
You will not miss friend Fannie
no more than one blank page.
The quilt you kindly gave me, with
such grand good will;
1t shows master hand, a steady
head and skill
A priced memorial in our home
gift in need shows a friend in

On Sunday a triple birthday was
celebrated at Roselawn, home of B
d. S., in honor of her mother, Mrs
Dudley, and the latter's little great
grandchildren, Walter Dudley and
Ruth Elizabeth Gates. There was a
cake with 80 candles, another with
three and another with two candles
The Dudleys, the family of Sydney
Gates, and the old Beetown neigh
bors, Mrs. Rogers and Magnetic
were present Mrs. Dudley was born
in the first log cabin erected in Hazel
Green which was built by her father
Christopher Eversoll She is the last
of his family. Her parents, two elder
brothers and only sister sleep in
Grant county. Two little brothers
died in Switzerland, one was buried
in the sea, and the youngest of the
family Ferdinand, rests in the ma
tional cemetery at Washington. He
fell at Bull Run. A few years age
Mrs. Dudley was found to be the old
est continuous resident of the county
One of our local editors thought she
could likewise claim the distinction
of being the oldest resident of the
state who had never spent night be-
yond it's borders. She has had more
than lifetime of labor and sorrow
But is wonderfully preserved. She
put out washing basket, bread, anC
made her house meat as pin" the
day before she turned the Goth mile
