WHO'S WHO In
WISCONSIN FARMING

That Wisconsin's future will be
even brighter than its past, but that
to make this true the very best of
brains must be applied, is the senti-
ment expressed by many Badger farm
erS.
To be closely connected with the
beginning of the movement for agri-
cultural education in Wisconsin, then,
is unusual distinction. To have run
the gamut from a One-roOm country
school teacher and principal of a.
country high school to organizer and
director of county agricultural
school and associate director of the
state college of agriculture, is addi~
tiOnal distinction.
All these things have been part of
the life of John A. James, recently
elected president of the Middle West
Vocational Educational association. \
Records are not clear whether or,
not he was born in a log cabin, but
the supplementary. and succeeding
trimmings are all there.
Mr.. James was born in Grant coun-,
ty in 1884 After graduating from
high school and normal school he
taught for five years in rural COM
munities. During this time he was one
of the first two men in the state who

Starve the White Grubs.

Look out for the white grubs on
land that was in grass or sod last
year. This is the precaution urged
by c. l.. Fluke Of the department Of
economic entomology of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. The easiest way
to get rid of the white grubs is to
starve them by not planting corn and
potatoes in the infested fields. Ii
clover is planted the grubs will prob
ably starve as they do not travel from
one field to another. 1t is impossible
to poison or kill them this year.

DAIRYING Is NOT
FOR THE GUESSER
Owner of a Herd Must Be Eff
Cient and Think for
Himself.
BY B. n. HIBBARD,
Agricultural Economist of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.


| Agricultural Economist of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
! 1t is the duty of everyone who has
g. dairy herd to know whether or not
it is paying him to feed his cows; II
it isn't, there is something wrong. 1t
is not wise course to run a business
at a loss except under very unusual
| conditions.
Dairying ought to pay. In fact, it
does pay the skilled dairyman. But
the man who guesses at the amount
Of milk he is getting from each COW,
or from the herd, and guesses at the
amount of feed used, is likely to do
a good deal of guessing as to where
is imperative that dairying be done
efficiently, and the efficient are the
ones who are going to come through
the present trying times with success.
The inefficient will find that dairying
doesn't pay and try something else
which probably doesn't pay any
better.
The farmer must use his brains. He
is told by group of we'll meaning
people not to sacrifice calf for veal.
The farmer who doesn't know that a
veal calf, if not intended for his herd
loses him and the community money
if kept beyond few weeks isn't much
of a farmer. This applies to the veal
calf from the dairy herd. Whatever
is told the farmer, he must think for
himself and find the right way out Of
his troubles.
If he has big herd and is a good
hand with machinery perhaps a milk
ing machine will pay.
If he has a good deal of blowing on
level land possibly tractor will pay.
There are ways Of solving the farm
difficulties. Those who find out these
ways will prosper.
The consumer must not blame the
farmer for being inefficient. COnsum-
ers are responsible for much Of the
inefficiency in the milk business. The
delivery system is absurd, but partly
because of the time of day people
want their milk. There is much I'M
necessary driving. Bottles cost Z
cents apiece and make but % trips.
Here is loss of one-third of cent
trip. 1t would be reduced if bottles
were returned promptly. Where Gus
toners break bottles they ought to
pay for them. In many instances
there are too many dairy companies
handling the milk of a city.

taught agriculture in secondary
schools. This was in 1909 when he
was principal of the Verona high
school. He then entered the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin and was graduated
from the college of agriculture. AS
director of the Racine county school
of agriculture and domestic economy,
he extended his efforts in the county
to extension projects, including man
agement of one of the states first
cow testing associations, boys and
girls club work, extension work
among farmers, and manager of the
county schools experimental farm. In
1914 Mr.. James was called to the col
lege of agriculture to carry on work
in agricultural education and in 1919
he was appointed associate director Of
the college.
This is only a brief record of prog
ress in the young life of Mr.. James. 1t
is enough to say that he has been
closely connected with the promotion
of agricultural education in this state.
During che war he was associate
state leader of county agents. AS
president Of the Vocational aSsOcia-
ton, which is composed Of over one
thousand Midwest leaders and teach
ers of vocational and industrial train
ing, he is the first man from the rural
field to head the organization. Voca-
tional agriculture in this state and
John lanes have history in
common.

Suns Effect on Glass Palace

1t has been found impossible to give
accurate dimensions of the Crystal
palace, London, because of the con-
traction the building undergoes during
the day. In the case of the palace,
the approximate length of the main
structure of which is 1892 feet, a
measurement taken at noon would ex-
coed the dimension which would be
given on a remeasurement in the eve
ming, when the contraction conse-
quent upon the absence Of heat as the
result of the sun having set, would
have taken place. The difference at
times amounts to as much as six
inches.

1T Is TRUE

That soy beans promise to be-
come one Of WiscOnsin'S leading
secondary crops.
They not only furnish seed,
hay and forage, but also build
up the soil upon which they are
grown. Like clover and alfalfa,
when the seed is properly ''inOc-
ulated' they take much of their
nitrogen from the air instead of
from the soil.
Soy beans are valuable to Wis.
