County Agent Notes
II. G. Seyforth

How about your seed corn? Have
you saved it yet? If not now is the
time to get it done. The high yield
ing qualities of pure bred Wisconsin
corn can be maintained at their high
level of productiveness by careful
seed selection. The ears should be
selected in the field from large
healthy stalks. Weak or sick stalks
pass on these characteristics to their
offspring. 1t is just as important
that the ears come from good stalks
as it is that the ears themselves are
well shaped and healthy. The curing
Of the seed corn is equally important.
The weather now is ideal for drying
the corn without the need of artificial
heat. Let's have every farmer in
Pierce county save enough corn for
the next two years. We may need it.
Let's be prepared.
/ have been receiving quite num-
Der of lists of pure bred live stock
for sale in the county. expect to
have complete sales list made out
and will have one in each, bank in the
county and will also have a number
for distribution at the fair this week
in one of the booths on the second
floor of the sales pavilion. ! have
listed some animals of nearly every
breed of livestock in Pierce county.
Let's find out our wants and maybe
we can supply them. Beware OF any
outside seller of livestock, and if you
intend to purchase any thing from
them, inquire of your banker or my
self if the party is reliable.
Mr.. H. Peterson of Elmwood had a
very nice purebred Guernsey bull list
ed for sale. I Immediately found
three men that wanted bull and he
sold him within week Who is the
next man / can help in this way!
have located some very nice high
grade and purebred Guernsey heifers
and cows and if anyone would be in
terested am sure that we can get
thcm at reasonable price.
Wild Brothers Of Elmwood recently
bought two registered Duroc Jersey
Bears of f, F. CAM & Son Of Alma,
Wis. These boars are of very popu-
lar breeding and will certainly be a
big boost to the Duroc Jersey bust
ness of the county.
Are you going to be ready for the
Pure Bred Bull Campaign that will
be put on in Pierce county the latter
part of October? Now is the time to
get that pure bred bull and then urge
your neighbor to do the same. We
must raise this average of 1870 OF
pure bred bulls in the county to at
least 25Gs by the first of the year.
Don't forget to see the educational
exhibits on the second floor OF the
new sales pavilion. They will be OF
great interest to you. We hope to
have the largest livestock exhibit at
the county fair that Pierce county has
ever seen. Be sure to come If 1T is
possible.

Equity Receiversl.ip SuifAgainst
William, ]. Fares Result of
Cancelled Orders

Another illustration of the CONNER
cial reaction here CT the low rate Of
foreign exchange appeared yesterday in
the filing of an equity reccivership
suit against William j. Farrell, exporter
and importer, by the Hunter Manu-
featuring and Commission Company.
Farrell stated that his lack Of quick as
sets has been brought about by the
refusal of European customers to ac-
cept goods shipped them on order and
the throwing back Of these goods on
the domestic market with a lengthy
process of liquidation.
The claim of the Hunter Company
is in excess of $4,000. In it's com
plant it alleges that Farrell has unse-
cured debts aggreeating more than
100000 Farrel himself estimated his
liabilities at $l00O,OO0 and his nominal
assets at S200O,O0O Judge julius NJ.
Mayer yesterday appointed William z.
Wilcox and Herman H. Eggers receiv-
ers for Farrell under a joint bond of
100000. They were authorized to con-
tinuc the business and to effect a reor-
ganlzation. The Hunter Company, a
cotton and linen textile commission
house, was represented by Franklin II.
Mills. Frank NJ. Patterson has been
appointed counsel for the receivers.

Unless the earnings of the Ohio &

Atlantic Fruit Dcbenture Bonds

Question-The writer would appreciate an
opinion from you to the possibilities of
Atlantic Fruit Company bonds as an invest
ment; likewise, some information as to the
privilege of having such bonds converted
INTO the common stock of the Atlantic Fruit
Company. Have been given to understand
that this company owns and controls large
sugar lands in Cuba, from which the pros
pectivc profits expected to be very ia
vorable Do you consider these bonds a good
investment w. l..
Answer-The Atlantic Fruit Company
has shown increased earning power for
the last few years. The net profit be-
fore taxes for 1919 was $2,457.O70.
against Sl.204,2S9 for 1918. The intercst
charges are 100000 per annum. These,
it will be seen, were earned approx
mately three times last year. The
bonds, of which there are $4,000 900
outstanding, are debentures. They may
be converted into common stock at any
time up to ninety days prior to ma
turlty (December l, 1880 at the rate
of two shares common for $500 de-
bentures. We regard the bonds as a
good speculative investment at the
present time.
