COUNTY AGENT NOTES
I'll. G. Seyforth

Quite few applications are coming
in for the State Accredited Hero
Test for Tuberculosis. We hope to
have a man here shortly to do this
work think by the demand for this
work that we ought to try to have a
county wide test carried on next year.
This can be done by having 50aa of
the farmers in the county sign petit
ton showing their willingness to have
their herds tested. A state man comes
here and tests all the herds in the
county. 1t costs the farmer nothing
and frees the whole county from Tu-
berculosis. Barron and Waukesha
counties have done this and Pierce
county should fall in line. How about
it farmers of Pierce county? Let's
talk this over with your neighbor and
and see what their sentiment is to-
wards the work. We hope to have a
meeting of the officers of the various
breeders associations of the county
n October and we will then try and
decide it,
Don't forget the seed corn. Time
is coming near when we should be
thinking of the selection of the seed
for next year. Be sure and select it
from the field before the corn is cut.
You should select your seed corn the
same as you would select sire for
your herd of cattle. Look at the par
ents of the seed car that you pick, the
kind of stock on which it grows, the
placing of the ear on the stalk and
the length of the shank on which it
grows. All these have a part to play
in the maturity of the seed ear. Go
thru the entire field and select the
best ears. After the selection of the
seed remove it to a place where you
are going to store it so it will dry.
Forget about the windmill, machine
shed and front porches, these are no
fit places for drying seed corn. Hang
it some place under cover where you
can use stove if artificial heat is nee
essary for thorough drying. See that
the place is well ventilated and air
can circulate around each ear and

activity in city planning and condemn
ing the property owner who. through
shortsightedness. stands in the way OF
greater beauty and utility in city ar
rangement.
The report included a survey OF
city planning development in many
cities and presented figures showing
the bearing of such activity on real
ty values.
Advantages to real estate dealers
owners and prospective purchasers
through the operation of appraisal
committees maintained by local rea
estate boards. were set forth in the
report of the appraisal committees
in several cities. including Clevela nd
