Hillsb0ro Cow Testing Association
On Saturday, May 9Th, the board of
directors and cow testing association
members met at the high school and
reorganlzed their association for an
other year. Mr.. Werner Sorenson will
again act as tester for the association.
Mr.. A. j. Cramer of the Wisconsin
Dairymen's Association who was at
this meeting urged the association
to assist the COW tester in publishing
an annual report. He urged the asso-
citation particularly to use this re-
port as means of advertising and as
a guide to out-of-state buyers.
Mr.. Sorenson reports that Mr.. F.
Dreischmeier's herd of grade and pure
bred Holstein cattle hold the high av-
erage with production of 1890
pounds of milk and 43.4 pounds of
butterfat. Mr.. Albert Kahler has sec
ond high herd average with his grade
Holstein herd their production being
1893 pounds of milk and 96.8 pounds of
butterfat. During the month II cows
produced over 40 pounds of butterfat.
Mr. Frank Havli kput three cows on
seven day test. Good results were
obtained. In one herd where $500
worth of feed was fed over the pre-
vious months there was a return of
S55 in butterfat over that of the pre-
vious months.
The twelve high cows for the month
of April are listed herewith.

Soy Beans
Many fields sown to soy beans for
hay are now ready to be cut. The
best hay is made out of soy beans
when the lower pods are almost ma
ture and the leaves are still attached.
This is perhaps impossible on the soil
where the beans are planted very thick
or on dry soil where they are dried out
and the lower leaves fall off. The big
theing to remember, however, is to
cure soy beans in the best hay curing
weather. That means not to wait too
long. Soy beans cut after August 25
are likely not to be cured properly un-
less it is on very small scale.
Many farmers find on patches where
the soils have been grown right that
cutting and curing the same as for
clover hay proves very satisfactory.
Cut them with mower, use side de-
livery rake, then hay loader or bunch
them and pitch them on by hand.
Where small quantities are grown
they can best be handled by cutting
and shocking green and then spread
ing for a short time just before haul
ing after the shocks have been cured
in the field
Farm Labor SituatiOn-Outlook for
1928
The Bureau of Emigration recently
reported 10000 immigrants have en-
tered the U. S. since July 1st. The
majority came from Italy, Russia, the
United Kingdom, Germany, Greece
and Czechoslovakia. Under the regu-
lation of immigration there are still
allowed $4,000 more during the re-
mainder of the fiscal year. This num-
Der undoubtedly will materially dis
tribute laborers in many manufactur-
ing centers and in farming communi-
ties.
State Fair Week
The Wisconsin state fair at West
Allis, August 28th, to September End
promises to be of much interest to
Vernon county farmers. Already a
number of auto loads have been plan
ned to tour southern Wisconsin and
take in the fair. 1t is hoped that by
the week end practically every town
ship in the county will have their re-
