head office is in Minneapolis. He is en-

Mr.. and Mrs. Aaron Carlson, who
have lived in Edgerton great many
years, have left for their old home in
Sweden. The aged couple have made
half dozen trips back and forth over
the Atlantic and always been in close
touch with the old fatherland. Mr..
Carlson is rs and Mrs Carlson 70 years

their last trip. They have son and
two daughters living in the Edgerton

In bulletin issued by Prof. Theo-
dore Macklin of the college of agricul-
ture, he advocates advertising by farm
ers of their products. Among other
things he says: To-day all of our sue
cessful cooperating marketing COM
panies that have been operating over a
period of five years or more have Who'll
ly abandoned the hope of gaining man
ipulation of the raw material or exer-
cising other monopoly powers. They
have learned that success comes through
efficiency in rendering satisfactory mar
keting service to the satisfied buyers
and consumers.
L. II. Russell, director of the COL
lege of agriculture, declares: ''The
stability of Wisconsin's agriculture
rests upon the rock of dairying. No
more economical machine has ever been
devised by nature than the dairy cow,
and one outstanding feature of these
times of stress is that dairying has
stood the test of defation better than
any other form of husbandry. In COM
parison with those states which produce
dominantly single crop whether it is
cotton, wheat, hogs or cattle-Wiscon-
sin, by reason of its Investigation and
specialization, is recognized the nation
over as being in the most stable posi-
tion of any commonwealth. The work
of continued improvement will have to
be pushed harder than ever as prices
decline-better animals, better feeding
methods, better care, elimination of all
losses in the production of milk.
County Agent r. T. Glasco makes
the following observations in James
vile Gazette interview: EARN work
is great determining factor in infu-
encing farm owner or tenant to leave
the farm. For the last year it has
been practically Impossible to get a
competent farm laborer at price which
the farmer could afford to pay. Fac
tories and contractors are able to OUT
bid the farmer, thereby taking away
his farm help. In talking with farm
ers in regard to their sons, it was found
that most of the farmer boys are gong
to high schools, colleges and business
schools for the purpose of getting a
higher education so that they will be
able to fill positions other than running
farms. The only solution for this con-
dition is for the farmer to receive more
for his produce. With the low prices
of grain all small grains are raised at a
loss. Livestock is the only farm COM
modify which is making profit. I'm
less the prices of all farm commodities
are raised, there will come time in a
few years when third of the farms
are abandoned because they do not
pay"
