COUNTY AGENT,
ISSUES LETTER
EXCHANGE LIST NO. Is FULL
OF GOOD ADVICE FOR
COUNTY FARMERS.
SOYBEANS WILL BRING FINE
LOT OF EXTRA GOOD
FEED.

Exchange List No. 25 of the Brown
County Farm Bureau was sent out
the first of the week by County Agent
F. M. Bane and as customary con-
tains not only large number of ex-
changes, but lot Of valuable infor-
nation to the members of the bureau.
Among other things Mr.. Bane has the
following to say that is Of interest to
the people of the county:
This spring quite number of men
in the county secured soybeans to
plant with their silage corn or for
hogging off. These benas are making
splendid growth. A little later we
hope to hold meetings in some of these
fields so everyone can come and see
what a growth soybeans will make.
The men who planted soybeans will
get fine lot of extra good feed.
Hog cholera has caused very little
concern so far this season, but it is
we'll for every hog raiser to be on the
lookout. Should any of your hogs
show signs of sickness it is best to
lose no time in having diagnosis
made. Prompt action on your part
may save you several hundred dollars
worth of hogs. OF course, hogs are
cheap but they are still too valuable
to lose.
The members of the Brown County
Wool Growers Association have de-
cided to consign their wool clip to the
National Wool Warehouse and Storage
Co, 1890 So. Robey street. Chicago,
III. Originally it was planned to Sc
cure grader to grade the wool and
ask for bids on each grade. However
the wool market went to pieces quite
suddenly and under present conditions
the members of the association felt
that the consigning method offered the
best chance to get little money out
of the wool. The wool was shipped
from Sleepy Eye on Monday, August
End.
We are making arrangements, for a
number Of poultry culling dem ohstra-
tions to be held the latter part OF next
month or during September. We
will be able to secure the assistance
of an expert poultryman for two or
three days. These dempnstrations
will be held in a number Of different
places over the county so they will be
within reach of all. We will be glad
to hear from a number Of people who
have focks they would like to have
culled. This will assist us in arrang-
ing our schedule. OF course we can
not promise to take care Of all the
locks but will handle as many as
possible at that time.
Some time ago the men in charge
of the Brown County Fair authorized
the County Agent to revise the live
stock end Of the premium list. When
the work was completed it was brought
before the Brown County Breeders
Association and a few more changes
made. When the completed work
with the stamp Of approval Of the
Brown County Breeders Association
was submitted to the officers Of the
fair it was accepted without change
This act surely shows that the manage
ment of the fair is willing to do its
part. Four times more premium
money is being offered this year thar
ever before. We hope everyone will
have an exhibit there to pull dowr
some Of this money. The low: premiums
have been an obstacle in the way Of Z
big livestock show. With this out ot
the way it is now put right up to the
people Of our county to make good
Let us put the Brown County Fair or
the map. Everyone can help.
