WITH THE COUNTY AGENT

In twenty Of the twenty-one townships in the
! county all the way from seven TO twenty-one
boys and girls wrote the examination endeay-
oring to win pig. In all there 233 who
wrote and it - very Disappointing to the eoun-
~ agent as well as those who will not receive
pig. Nearly all Of the papers showed that
Vernon Ccuaty has a generation growing up
on the farms that is very ambitious and II
promises more prosperous county TO come
than can now be realized Those young peo-
pie need only to be given half a chance and
they are going to prosper most abundsntiy.
The zankers Of Vernon county in Nose cases
have already heartily agreed to purchase these
pigs and sign up agreement with the several
boys and girls who will be given a female pare
possession of the Dig as soon as they can b.
obtained and they sign up to take it with the
agreement that thsy will raise litter of pigs
year. which will give the banker q chance TO
continue this good work and il viii also be
payment in full for the pig received the year
before plus the interest the money invested,
which will not amount to much.
Some of the bankers would gladly give out
the pigs, but that ia not the best thing to do.
boy or girl in most cases viii do better il
given chance rs mentioned above and will
work harder to make good than If they
eeive something for nothing without any re-
sp0nsibiitty. If the boys and girls in La
Crosse county made good on this same system,
we all know that the boys and girls of Yer
non county will make good under a similar
chance.
We wish to congratulate the winners and
hope there will be larger number to take
part next year. We hope to have large show
ing Of pigs at the Vernon county fair next
fall. There will be some good prizes given
for boys and girls club work:

TOBACCO FERTILIZERS
Many farmers find that they wish to use
some commercial fertilizers for tobacco and
corn. The kind that will serve very well and
give the needed fertility is what the dealer calls
2-I2-0. That means that 1t contains two per
cent available nitrogen, twelve per cent avail
able phosphorous and no potash. The soil all
around Viroqua contains plenty of potash but
lacks phosphorous and a little nitrogen. II
the Fertilizer contains some potash it does not
matter only you are then applying something
that you do not necessarily need.
The Guernsey cattle going to be shipped
from the east as soon as the railroads will al
low us TO bring them by express.
