Jefferson City, Mo-, July 9.-The
house committee on roads today
adopted plan calling for distribution
Of most of the $60,OOO,O0O road fund

appeared to be greatly in the minority
Leaders expressed the opinion that
the resolution adopted will make more
difficult the task of reccnciling the
views of the house with the hard sur
faced plan of the Ralph road bill, en-
crossed by the senate yesterday.
AT the suggestion of Representative
Whitaker, Hickory county, the reso-
luton provided that three-fourths of
the $60,000,0OO state fund and s10,-
100000 of the estimated $35,000,OO0
federal aid money, if not obtained,
shall be divided among counties ac-

Please find herewith my check for

subscription to Weekly Monet Times.
Intended to send it in the first of the
year but neglected it. l certainly do
not want it stopped as it is almost like
being back in Monet to receive a copy
of it.
We are getting along nicely out here
and this is certainly fine country.
That is as to climate and health,
however you can't say so much about
it as a farming country as about all
they raise here is pinto beans.
Here's wishing the Monett Times,
and all my old friends the greatest
success possible and expecting to pay

LAWRENCE COUNTY MAN
MAKES GOOD WITH JERSEYS

From one COW to one Of the highest
producing herds in Southwest Mis-
souri,, in eight years is the record of
Fred Bigelow of Aurora. He started in
the dairy business in 1918 with one
jersey cow. By saving her calves he
has built up asnotable herd. This cow
was the mother of one bull and four
heifer calves.
Mr.. Bigelow leaves nothing to
chance so tested these heifers. One
produced 407 pounds of fat at two
years and months of age, another
427 pounds at years and 10 months.
and another 474 pounds at 3 years, an
average of 436 pounds. From this
blood he now has IL females in his
herd. Only one of the granddaught-
ers of this foundation cow has been
tested but she is running true to form
with record at one year and ten
months Of age Of 301 pounds of fat
in 325 days and two heifer calves to
her credit.
During the last few years Mr..
Bigelow has bought other cows but
his main herd was developed from the
blood of the one cow. The owner is
not satisfied with the records and be-
lives at the present time that he can
increase the former record by a
hundred pounds per cow by better
feeding and handling.
He is a firm believer in testing, to
know what his cows are doing and is
trying to start COW testing associa-
tion for Lawrence County.
