Friday forenoon, Feb. II, the boys
Of the Smith Hughes Agricultural
classes under supervision Of the dr.
rector, III. F. Barnes, visited the pure
i bred Jersey herds of Grant G. Child
sey and CIV Damon & Son of Bruins

| The boys stopped first at Mr.. Child
sey's spending some time looking over
the thirty-four head that make up his
herd. Mr.. Chidsey gave the boys. an
interesting talk and explained to them
his methods of feeding and manage
ment.
AT the present Mr.. Chidsey has two
heifers only three years old that have
started their second registry of merit
test, both producing in 305 days con-
siderable more than enough butter fat

Vdividuals and give promise of making
large producers. under average farm
conditions. III
Mr.. Chidscy has two herd sires that
any breeder of pure bred Jerseys
might be proud of, Torono Of Bath
and Lass 8oth of Hood Farms Son.
Both are Of registry Of merit ancestry
and further are of the blood holding
1 the largest butter fat production
among the breed. 1S<

ANNUAL MEETING OF
JERSEY CATTLE CLUB

Grant Chidsey Of Brunswick, presi-
dent of the Medina County Jersey
Cattle club, presents the following ac-
count Of the annual meeting Of the
Ohio club at Columbus Feb. 3.
The annual meeting of the Ohio
Jersey Cattle club was held at Town
send hall, Columbus, Ohio, on Feb.
g.. It is reported to have been the
largest gathering in the history Of
the club. The appearance of SO many
prominent breeders would lead one to
believe there is comething doing in
the Jersey camp.
The meeting was called to order at
1880 a. M, by L. P. Bailey, Tacoma,
0. Hugh Bonnell was the first man to
talk and after a brief outline Of the
clubs activities, he was followed by
Joe Morris, who gave very fine
talk on the extension work of the
Jersey Cattle club. H. S. Barker of
Tiffin, secretary Of the Ohio Holstein
Friesian association, gave a very in
| structive address on the methods Of
conducting their organization and
Icheerfully offered any help they
might give.
The nominating committee then re-
ported and Hugh W. Bonnell, Youngs-
town, was elected president; r. s.
Smith, Westville, vice president; and
Joe Morris, of Westerville, secretary.
MIR. Morris is live man. .and great
Jersey booster and will mean a great
deal to the Jersey business in Ohio.
Ohio is included in the three states
to get a field man. The American
Jersey Cattle club has offered to con-
tribute $4,000 to the three states,
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, providing
these states will raise $500 each,
and as Tom Dempsey has offered to
raise the amount for Ohio, Roger
Brown for Indiana, and Mr.. Brew
crton for Illinois, it is sure to be a
go. Mr.. Cannan is hired and his office
will be at Indianapolis, Ind.
AS only A per cent of all the cat
tie in the United States are pure-brcd
there is a great field to work in and
the Jersey breeders are planning tn
do their share. THIS work will be
done through the local clubs and we
are in hopes the Medina club will
effect strong organization.

OFFERING sPUD SPECIALS

With the second largest potato
crop on record, growers and dealers
in many communities are making an
attempt to move the large surplus by
offering a special price for quantity
purchases. From the consumers point
of view, the increased consumption Of
potatoes in the diet of many persons
would be beneficial, according I'd
specialists at the Ohio State Univer-
sity,
Potatoes supply mineral matter
needed for building the tissues Nof the
body, The calcium building bone, mag
nesium and potash building nerves
and cells, sodium aiding digestion
iron building red corpuscles, and the
combination Of these salts overcoming
the acidity Of the blood, dissolving the
carbon dioxide, and the bulk or cellu-
lose aiding in the elimination Of
waste products.
