Get Rid Of This Pest
Because of the prevalence VI
black rust in the small grain this

the barberry has anything TO 90 with
it. According to the statement OF
County Agent l.. E. Mcmillan, the
barberry is far from being eradi.
Gated in this county. mir. VanCleve
of Springfield, one of the govern
ment employees making a survey of
he pest through the eastern town
ships of the county, found a large
tarDerry hedge ten feet high and
everal feet long in Mankato town

Holsteln Breeders
Enjoy Festivities

Holstein breeders Of the county
Of Blue Earth had one of their red
letter days yesterday, when the an
nual picnic was held at Oak Grove
farm. owned by George Enrich, near
Rapidan. 49,.
AS early as eleven o'clock. cars
were seen coming into the Grove,
which is ideally situated. A re-
freshment stand had been erected
and benches were set conveniently
about the grove for the benefit Of
the picnickers. At noon the lunch
baskets were brought out and their
contents enjoyed.
After visiting with old friends
for short time ring was formed
about the ground marked of for
the horse shoe pitching contest
Contestants were: Amboy-Henry
Truwe and Jim Reeder; Rapidan-
w. A. Just and Carl Jepsen; Man
kato-Emil Boie and l. z. McMil-
len; Eagle Lake-Lawre renee Peter
SON and J. y; Compton; Good Thun.
Mapleton-J. f, Getty and T. B.
Taylor; Garden City-A. D. NC
Cormick and L. Moses. Some real
ability was shown in the contest
and the rivalry was spirited. In
the contest, the first place was won
by Wingen and Ulrich Of Good
Thunder -and second place by Just
and Jepsen of Rapidan. The prize
for the winners in this contest
were two pair of regulation shoes
for first and one pair for second.
All of the contests and parts of
the program\ was interpreted with
selections by the Boys Band. Un-
der the direction of Prof. Hugo
Frey, the boys presented some fine
music and many were the words of
praise given them and their leader.
No charges were made by them for
their services, but a hat was pas
sed and a fine sum realized. which
will 90 towards buying uniformed
hats for the young musicians. The
Boys band is fast earning reputa {
ton through the county and state,
for the rapidity with which they
have progressed and the excellent
direction they show in their play
ing. 1t is hoped that they will be
heard often.
Robert Geiser First Speaker.
Robert Geiger, secretary OF the
State Holstein Breeders associa
ton, was the first speaker. Mr..
Geiger briefly outlined the progress
of the breeders in the state and
especially Blue Earth county. Mr..
Geiger stated that without any ex-
ception Blue Earth county is con-
sidered the leading Holstein county
and is the most talked of one in
the state. No other county is so
thoroughly organized on the com
munity basis and breeders through
out the state are watching Blue
Earth and are coSying after it. The
Breeders were warned against jeal-
ousy which has disrupted many
counties, and he urged them to
assist each other in making their
individual communities a real -
nuence in the agricultural
world. There are now about 700
members of the association in the
county. which is by far much larger
than the membership Of any other
county. The success of Blue Earth
county Is due largely to its opera
ton on a strictly CO operative basis.
In closing, Mr.. Geiger emphasized
the importance of the COW testing
associations and the boys and girls
club work as two great aids to bet
ter dairytng. He also called atten-.
ton to the National Dairy Show to
be held in st. Paul In October and
