The report of the Special Commit

follows:
REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
ON AGRICULTURE

To the Honorable Board Of Super
visors of Grant County, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:
We the undersigned special commit
tee on agriculture desire TO report as
follows:
At the time of the last meeting Of
the Board we were without the serv-
ices of an agricultural agent, MIR.
George w. Davies having resigned
October I, 1920, to accept better and
more lucrative position. During the
months Of November, December and
January we We're i'll correspondence
with a number of men in regard TO
the filling Of the vacancy and ar
ranged for personal interviews with
some Of them Finally, in January
we entered into a contract with Mr.
Paul f. Graf who was at that time
filing similar position i'll Vernon
County.
Under that contract Mr.. Graf re
ceives a salary OF 100000 per year.
Of this amount Grant County pays
81 10000 or $108.34 per month. and the
State OF Wisconsin and the Federal
Government jointly pay $1,000 pei
wear or S14166 per month. In add
$4,000 per year, which is used to
defrav the expenses of the Agricul-
tural Agent when in attendance at the
state meetings of county agents or
similar gatherings which are held
under the auspices Of State OF Wiscon-
sin In addition to the above, Grant
County pays the travelling expenses OF
the agent, which are contracted in this
county in the regular discharge OF the
duties OF the office This expense VIII
average about $4,000 per month.
At a meeting of this committee held
in the city of PlatteVille on October
"a. the State of Wisconsin also being
represented by Prof. l.. F. GRADER or
the agricultural department of State
University, new contract was en-
tered into with Mr. Graf for the
period of one year, beginning Fehru-
ary I, 1922. on the same terms as are
now existing under the present con
tract subject to the approval of this
Board.
We therefore recommend that there
be appropriated by this Board the
sum of $1,300.00 to meet the county S
share of the salary of the agricultural
agent and that an additional sum CT
81 10000 be appropriated for his
travelling expenses. We also further
recommend that the sum of $4,000 be
appropriated for expense connected
with Grant County exhibit at the
State Fair for 1922.
We also desire to call the attention
of the Board to the fact that it is
necessary to elect three members of
the Special Agricultural committee at
this session, all of whom shall be prac-
tical farmers, representing the agri-
cultural interests of the county, one
of whom shall be a member of the
county board of supervisors.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.

HELD FOR ROBBINC
 OIL TROUGH STORE
Herman Parker Confesses When Stolen Goods Are
 Found at His Home

The Oil Trough Mercantile Companys store at Oil Trough was broken into and robbed Saturday night, the robber se- curing about $15 worth of goods and money.
 The robber gained entrance to the store through the back door by breaking the glass in the door, which enabled him to reach in and unlock the door.
 MT Outlaw, manager of the company, telephoned to New port and secured blood hounds and the dogs immediately took up the trail at thes door and followed it to the home of Herman Parker, young man who lived only short distance away. Parker was not at home at the time and when con- fronted by Mr. Outlaw and the officers, Parker stoutly denied any knowledge of the affair. But when told that the stolen goods had been found at his home, Parker then said that another man had brought the goods to his home and asked permission to leave them. But when pressed for an explana- tion as to why the other man would get clothing and shoes that were too small for him and that just fit Parker, Park CT could give no explanation, and finally admitted that he stole the goods himself.
 Parker was taken to Bates vile and placed in jail. He was given a preliminary hear ing before Squire Holmes Tuesday, and was bound over to the grand jury.
 The stolen goods which were identified by MT. Outlaw, con- sisted of a 50 pound sack of flour, a pair of overalls and

NEW FERRY TO BE
 IN OPERATION SOON
New Boat Will Be Placed in Use at Chamberlain Ferry
 Next Monday

It will be good news to those people living south of White river in the vicinity of Dunning- ton and Elmo to know that the new ferry boat which is being built for use at the Chamber lain ferry is about completed and it is believed that same will be ready to put in oper- ation about next Monday.
 Some time ago the old boat at this point was declared un- safe and traffic via this point was suspended, the people on that side of the river having tC come by the Oil Trough fer ry which was very inconveni- ent.
 Tie business men of New ark donated funds with which to have the new boat built, which is said to be one of the best ferry boats in the county. It is said the embankments on each side of the river at this ferry have been put in splendid shape, making it easy to get of and off the boat with a heavy load. The ferry will be oper- ated by T. B. Magness.

BERRY ASSOCIATION
 NOW SEEMS ASSURED
Additional Acreage Secured and Meeting Will be Held
 in Near Future

The movement to form a Strawberry Growers Associ- ation at Newark is taking defi- nite. form, as several parties interested in the movement are at work among the farmers securing additional acreage.
 It is planned to have a meet ing in the near future as soon as it can be arranged for some one who has had practical ex- perienec in berry growing to come. and address the farmers en the important features of the business.
 Efforts are being made to get some practical berry grow CT from Bald Knob or Judsonia to come to Newark, but most of them are too busy to come at the present time, as the be- ry season is not over yet.
 Announcement of the date of the meeting will be made later and it is hoped by those who are pushing the matter that sufficient acreage will have been secured so that an association may be formed at this meeting.

HARVESTING ALFALFA
Small Acreage and Light Yield
 Will Reduce Crop

The first crop of alfalfa is being harvested and several cars of new hay have been shipped out this week. w eather conditions for saving the crop are good, but the yield is said to be light.
 The new crop of hay is sell. ing for $15 a ton right out ot the field, which is considered a very fair price.
 The alfalfa acreage in this section is not as great as ir former years, a great many meadows having been ploweo under and the land planted il corn.
 The decrease in alfalfa ha: resulted in an increased cottor acreage, and it is reported that there is a greater acreage o1 cotton in the Big Bottom and Oil Trough country than fol several years.
