OPEN WINTER

Lansing, Feb. 24-"Nothing but
the open winter has prevented fish
in hundreds of streams through
out the state smothering to death
according to Dr.R.M. Olin, Michi-
gan commissioner of health.
Streams were so polluted with
industrial wastes and sewage last
fall" says DR.. Olin, that practi-
cally all the oxygen in the water
was exhausted. Had the streams
frozen over, as the usually do, the
fish would have smothered by the
tons. But because of the mild
weather enough oxygen probably
has been accumulated to keep the
fish alive during the rest of the
winter and until the state can
take action to remedy the pollu-
tion problem"

FARM BUREAU NOTES

st. Clair county wool growers
have 1897 pounds of wool in the
state farm bureau wool pool ac-
cording to the farm bureau wool
department. The county's wool
was assembled at st. Clair, En-
NETT and Avoca.
Despite the fact that since May
Is, 1920. there has been practical
ly no wool market, approximately
one million of the 3,500,000 pounds
in the pool have been sold. says
A. j. Hankins. marketing director.
More than a million pounds of the
remaining unmarketed wool has
been graded and the work is de-
clared to be progressing at the
rate of 10000 pounds day.
Large manufacturers have dis
covered the absolute reliability
of the state farm bureau grades,
and are taking advantage of the
fact that they can buy large guam
titles direct from the pool, says
Mr.. Hankins.
In order to relieve the dull wool
market situation, the farm bureau
has entered the blanket manufac-
turing industry and is keeping
two factories working at top
speed trying to keep up with the
demand for all-wool blankets
made from Michigan virgin
fleece. This scheme, says the state
farm bureau, enables the farmer
who has wool in the pool to real
ize an additional return on his
nroduct

st. Clair County Farm Bureau at
a special meeting Wednesday al
ternoon made arrangements with
&c. M. Kidman, of Cassopolis to
fill the vacancy created by the
resignation of G. l.. Brody as
County Agricultural Agent.
The committee has held several
special meetings during the past
few days and interviewed a num-
Der of the best men in the state.
Mr.. Kidman was born and
brought up on farm in Sandusky
county, Ohio, and is a graduate
of the Michigan Agricultural
College, and has had four years
very successful experience as
County Agricultural Agent in
Presque Isle and Cass counties.
He is a highly successful organ
izer and has had very active
part in the building of the Mich
igan Potato Growers Exchange,
which is one of the largest farm
ers' marketing organizations in
the world.
Along with the marketing work
he has been very successful in
bringing about the standardiza-
tion of farm crops and the i'm
provement of quality in the coun-
ties where he has worked
While in the northern part of
the state he also rendered indis-
pensible service to the owners of
large areas of cut over lands by
bringing in car loads of sheep
for the utilization of waste lands.
He is married man with a
family and expects to move to
Port Huron and begin work about
March 18th.
Fred Buhler, president of the
st. Clair County Farm Bureau,
says that the securing of a man
with the qualifications of Mr..
Kidman was highly pleasing to
the county committee and that
under his direction the st. Clair
County Farm Bureau would surely
continue to hold the high rank and
reputation it has had in the past,

A SPLENDID ANIMAL.
Grown on Live Stock Experiment
Farm.

Last Saturday Messrs. Romero and
Derouen, local butchers, slaughtered
steer that was such a fine speci-
men of home grown beef as to de-
serve special mention.
This steer was a pure bred Here
ford only two years and eight months
old, yet it weighed eleven hundred
and forty pounds on foot, and dress
ed six hundred and forty pounds OF
meat.
The many customers of Romero ant
Derouen were treated to some won
derfully choice, juicy cuts from this
steer, and they could have sold many
hundreds of pounds more on "repeat
orders"
The Hereford was raised on th'
Live Stock Experiment Farm below
New Iberia, and had been force-fec
on selected rations.
Mr.. Paul Romero informs us tina
he intends to secure animals from
the Station as often as possible, an'
will always have a choice line o
meat They can be reached by phon

of mass meetings and all kinds of
public gatherings and dances
Mr.. Louis Lallande, another Of the
gentlemen who were very active in
the former fairs, and also Mr.. Luke
Bertrand expressed their opinions
that DR. Goodwin's idea of a perma-
nent fair association is correct and
, meets with their views on the matter
1t was finally moved by DR.. Good
win. seconded by Mr.. Alfred Lewald,
and carried unanimously, that a
committee be appointed to look into
the matter Of organizing a fair asso-
citation here.
Pres Carver selected DR. Goodwin
as Chairman of this committee, with
Messrs. Luke Bertrand, Louis Lal-
lande, John Taylor and Robert Pes
son. 1t is understood that Mr. st
Dezier, Parish Farm Agent, will be
an cx-officio member, and work with
the special committee.
Mr. Ormsby, with Mr.. St. Dezier,
spent a few hours Wednesday in
terviewing a number of our citizens
on the Fair proposition.
While everybody believes in having
a big fair, with permanent grounds
and buildings, still many are Of the
opinion that this might be very hard
to finance at present, and that it
might be an excellent plan to hold a
small fair this fall along the lines of
the two fairs held few years ago
This would help to reawaken the in
terest and enthusiasm, and make the
big proposition much easier to put
over.
If this latter idea prevails, then
New Iberia will have a fair this fall
But it seems certain that we will
have a big fair in another year,
whether the smaller deal is swung
this year or not.

1t is a most desirable condition

All that is necessary is to deter

NEW IBERIA MAY RE-0RGANIzE PARISH FAIR
ASSOCIATION THIS YEAR.
Committee Appointed To Look Into Details. May
Hold Fair This Fall.

! New Iberia may hold Parisf
! Fair this coming Fall, if plans now
under way are realized.
! The New IBERIA Chamber of Com
merce met on Tuesday evening of
the present week, and Mr. A. A.
Ormsby, Parish Fair Specialist, ap-
pcarod before that body and spoke a.
long the lines of recognizing the
Fair organization here.
Mr.. Ormsby is connected with the
Agricultural Extension Division Of
the State University. and his entire
time y devoted to promoting Parish
District and Community Fairs.
DR. Goodwin one Of the hustlers
who made successes Of the fairs held
here just before the war, was called
on to give his views on the subject
He stated that he is very much in
favor Of seeing a permanent Parish
Fair Association organized here, and
also favors organizing on a big scale
Dr.. Goodwin further informed his
hearers that although two fairs were
put over here on a Free Basis, and
turned out magnificently, that he
does not believe this plan would
work at the present time.
It will be remembered that at that
time there were large number of
vacant store buildings in the central
part Of town, and these buildings
were used for housing the exhibits.
Quite sum of money was saved in
this manner.
Today there are practically no va
cant buildings suitable for this pur-
pose, and several would have to be
put up
Dr. Goodwin also is of the opinion
that there are not as many head Of
fine live stock in Iberia Parish this
year as when the last fairs were
held, but he thinks that the agricul-
tural resources have been much furth-
er developed and that better exhibits
in grain and vegetables could be put
up.
"To do this thing right" DIR. Good
win said, New iberia should secure
a tract Of land comprising several
acres, which could be used not only
for an annual fair but all the year
round as a public park"
The principal building should be 50
structed that it could be used as a
Community House." with a large
