FIFTY LEADING
BADGER FARMERS
Peter C.. SWartz-AIfaIfa
Specialist.

It's q grand and glorious feeling
to meet a person, during your wander
ingS away from home, who has mutual
acquaintance or who knows of your
old home community
And no less pleasant was the feeling
among Badger boys who had elected
to attend agricultural extension school
lectures in France after the armistice,
TO be greeted with movies showing,
through examples taken on Wisconsin
farms, better farming methods. Boys
from all parts Of the United States
saw the movies, which were in charge
Of Wisconsin man, but only the Bad
gers could most fully appreciate them.
One, film Illustrated how alfalfa is
best produced. Since this film was
made in Wisconsin it is only reason
able to guess that it was taken on the
farm Of the Swartz 3rothers-Peter
JaysOn and Lewis = Of Waukesha
county. Their names and that of their
farms, COlnfalfa, are almost synOny-

to it. For some fifteen years they have
grown it on q commercial scale, not
patches Of it but $50 to 200 waving,
dense, dark green acres of it, They
are the largest growers of alfalfa in
Wisconsin. Besides alfalfa they grow
only purebred grains, corn and pota-
toes.
Exhibits of alfalfa from the Corn
falfa farms have formed a habit Of
winning in state and national exposi-
tons. They won the worlds gold
medal at the Panama-Pacific expOsi-
ton in 1915, first prize and sweep
stakes at the national hay and grain
show at Chicago in 1919, and many
medals, first and second prizes at other
shows. An interesting part of the
farms are the several acres of expert

by the poultry extension men, J. B.

the poultry department at the Wiscon-
sin College Of Agriculture.
The number of birds culled on the

farm, and out of these $4,000 birds
about one-fourth, or 5000, were culled
out as poor producers. About One-third
Of all the birds found in the focks

in Marathon county; the next largest
attendance was 70 at Fanchen in Port

at each meeting was about twenty. All
meetings were held on farms. Often
as many as five meetings on different
farms were held in one day.

Wisconsin in the early fortios may
not have shown many possibilities of
becoming the great dairy state, put
Badger teamwork had already begun.
The pioneers were helpful to each
other. Only in that way could they
attain a reasonable success from the
start When new settlers arrived much
work had to be done. but cooperation
made settlement possible. The neigh
bOrs made bee" to cut and to haul
new settlers logs. Another bee
framed the corners of the house and
raised the logs. And so mutual help
fulness continued
Later this cooperation continued to
a certain degree between neighbors.
But in the farmers business there was
strong tendency for each man to
shift for himself Farmer Brown sold
his live stock for what q buyer would
bought small lots of bran as he needed
them. The fruit growers shipped their
product to the handiest market avail
able. Lack of uniformity compelled
many buyers to place shipments, vary
ing widely in quality. in the same
class.
Examples Of this kind are still COM
mon, but examples of a return to the

strains of alfalfa from all the alfalfa
states in the country, from various Eu,
rOpean countries, from South America,
Mexico, Siberia, Turkestan and Arabia
are grown and carefully watched.
Peter Swartz was raised on the farm
upon which he lives and which his
father titled before him. If you should
receive q letter from the COrnfalfa
farms you will notice hat the attrac-
tive letterhead includes the statement
that the farms were established in
1914. Farmers throughout the state
have heard his lectures on alfalfa,
purebred grain, corn culture and or
chard spraying, which he has given
on farm institute platforms during the
last four years. He has been presi-
dent of the Waukesha county order of
the Wisconsin Experiment association,
and is now president of the Wisconsin
Alfalfa order and Of the Wisconsin Elk
pertinent association.
Visitors receive a hearty welcome
at the SwartZ farms, and there are q
great many visitors during a single
year. The efforts of Peter and his
brothers in adopting the best available
methods on their farms, and the inspi-
rations which have resulted from sto-
ries of and contacts with the Cornfalfa
farms have resulted in 4 good, sub
stantial contribution to agricultural
Wisconsin. Enthusiasm and well-ap-
piled industry have done it all.

Flax Straw Useful.

Don't waste the flax straw because
there is a good market for it right
now" says A. H. Wright Of the Wis
consin college of agriculture evils
consin's flax straw is superior to that
of the states farther west and COM
mands a higher price because of it's
greater length" Various uses are
found for flax, but the chief are those
using the so-called green-tow" in the
manufacture of rugs, upholstery, and
carpets. According to Mr.. Wright
many inquiries are being made for
sources Of flax straw and the College
Of Agriculture, Madison, is offering to
assist anyone in the sale of his straw
by referring his name to manufac-
turers.

in Wisconsin in these later days.
Wisconsin now ranks high among
the states in the extent of its agri-
cultural cooperative enterprises. Bad
ger farmers are using teamwork more
each year because it pays. \ few years
ago there were over 1000 actual or
carnations doing Il cooperative bust
ness. These associations did 4 bust
ness of $63,000,000 at the time Nine
kinds of businesses were represented
in the list.
Teamwork is still progressing in the
state. Only recently whole districts of
creamGries consolidated to send their
product to market in carload lots. BY
making their products uniform in quail
ity these groups of creameries are get
ting better prices than before. The
butter market wants gOod-sized ship
ments of uniformly good butter and
they are willing to pay for it. Cheese
factories are doing the same thing.
Cooperative creamery organizations
are being managed by q central board
of directors, representing the cream
cries in the group. \ manager is
hired to take charge of the business of
the whole organization. Several cCun-
ties have adopted the plan and are
pushing the work enthusiastically.
