EXAMPLES OF
PROSPERITY
Seen By Rusk County Dairy
men on Excursion to Bar
ron County

week. IneSe FARMERS were from many
parts of the county, from Hawkins te
Strickland, and they were accom-
panied by bankers and other business
men from various towns. There were
around % automobiles in the excur-
sion. The excursion had been worked
up by County Agent Schoepf, assist
ed by others, and he naturally evinced
some pride in the showing the farm
ers made on this trip.
The HOlstein, Guernsey and Jersey
breeds are popular in Barron county
and pure-bred herds of each of The
| breeds were seen on this trip. One
cow with a record of over 800 pounds
of butterfat was looked over with
much interest by the visitors.
See Stock Pavilion
The stock pavilion at Barron, re-
Gently completed, was inspected and
the story of its building was gotten
from Fred Krahenbuhn, who told how
the pavilion had been started two
years ago, subscriptions for stock be-
ing sold at $40 per share. This spring
new push was started through the
activities of the local breeders clubs
and interested business men OF Bar
ron and today the building stands
practically completed, with spacious
auditorium and giant cattle barn, due
to the business sense, ability to coop
crate and industry of the breeders
and their business men associates. No
one feature Of Barron county dairy
progress is more striking than the
great stock pavilion.
Visit Creamery
The Barron creamery was visited
and at the next stop Pres. Mckinney
was besieged with questions regarding
the great creamery plant Of which he
has been president for ten years. He
emphasized the fact that the manager
was largely responsible for the sue
cess of this enterprise. 1t was sug-
gested that the smaller creamerles
could gain much advantage in mar
keting by carlOt shipments and much
interest was manifested in the plan
now operating among the smaller
creameries of Barron as we'll as OF
Polk county in carlOt butter ship
mentS. RuSk county creamery men
propose to get in on the same plan.
Example Of Progress
The farm of Frank Barfknecht with
his great herd of high grade and pure
bred Holsteins brought forth story
of inspiration and hOpefulness TO the
new dairy farmer Fifteen years ago
Mr.. Barfknecht was a section man at
Ladysmith. Announcement of this
| brought a loud cheer from the Rusk
county guests Today Mr.. Barfknecht
with his family own a half section OF
land-keep nearly fifty cows, prac-
tically all descendants from two cows
which he owned while still Rusk
county resident. His cows are OF ex-
cellent type and practically all young.
Last month even with low price and
rather dry pastures the Parfknechts
Melted nearly $500 in creamery
check.
A dozen other farms which We're
powerful object lessons to the RuSk
county dairymen were visited aud
the herds and cattle barns inspected.
Some of the Barron farmers were
busy filling their sil0s with magnifi-
cent crops Of corn. The visiting dele
CATION made a full day of it, return
ing home after dark, no doubt full
of inspiration.
