DAILY MARKET
REPORTS VIA
RAD!0PH0NE
American Legion
to Broadcast Thru
County Agent

The Lancaster Richard Burns,
American Legion Post has installed
wireless outfit and has arranged to
receive the daily market reports sent
out by the University of Wisconsin
and made them available for the
county agents use. They are doing
a public service in this manner and
farmers should avail themselves of
this opportunity. The report is re-
ceived and can be gotten from the
county agents office about l o'clock
every day and the prices received are
those of the markets of the same day
If any one should want to know
what the market is at any time they
should call the county agents office
after l o'clock each day as the report
can not be received before that time.
However, the Chicago Daily Drov-
ers Journal is contemplating on put
ting in sending station and broad
cast the market earlier in the day If
that materializes and the market can
be received earlier in the day you will
be notified about it through the news
papers.
Cow Testing Association Meeting.
There will be a cow testing asso-
citation meeting at the Hopewell
school on the evening of May Sth.
Everyone interested in COW testing
association work in that vicinity is
asked to be present at that time. A
state man will probably be present
to take up this work and see if COW
testing association can be organized.
This will make the third COW test
ing association in Grant county and
is, another big step in the right direc-
ton in the dairy section of Grant
county. We need about three more
and then we will be partially cover
ing the dairy areas in which these
should be organized.
Cow testing associations have
almost doubled the production Of all
the cows in the associations, there
fore, it is worth while thing to con-
slider as you are bound to Gull out all
your poor cows. There is no other
method that will do it as accurate
and as thorough as the paper and
pencil method combined with the
Babcock test. We must get down to
rock bottom and have nothing on our
farms except those things that will
return dividend.
Remember the date and place of the
meeting.
Pictures of Poland Chinas Exhibited.
Frank Morehouse well known Po-
land China breeder in Grant county,
took it upon himself to have pictures
framed of good individuals of. the
Poland China breed and place them
in the county agents Office, for the
many farmers to sec as they call. The
county agent hopes that this will be
an incentive to all the breeders of
livestock to see to it that their par
ticular breed will be similarly rep
resented at an early date.
1t is we'll to place pictures Of this
kind in every bank in the county be-
cause, there appears to be nothing
that appeals to everyone as much as
a good photograph. BY the con-
tinuOus attendance at the many
movies in the county we know that
pictures are a big factor Of interest
and, therefore, the live stock breeders
of the county should take advantage
of this great factor and make 1T
source of excellent advertising at
small cost. Every creamery and
cheese factory should be decorated
with the picture of the dairy COW that
you think should be there, as it will
make an impression that will be last
ing ana not only DeHelCld1 " tnC
breeders, but also beneficial to the
man that will finally purchase pure
breds of one of the breeds that is
thus represented.
We need organized efforts in this
line and let us try it out and see if it
won't prove to be a very good way to
advertise.

Comfy Agent
