! Professor Rhodman is professor of

wonderful personality and one who
believes in the Importance of his sub

fessor Stevenson, professor of Agri-
cultural Economics at the Iowa State
College. DIR. Stevenson is probably
the best informed man on this subject
in America.

team of three selected from each of
the four counties will compete for the

represented, as the County Agent has
been spending some time with the
boys and girls preparing them for

boy or girl under eighteen may enter
in the individual contest. Prizes of
gold, silver and bronze medals will be

Brood Sow Selection Demonstration
A demonstration that will be of in
terest to all is to be held on the Pat
Roman farm, two blocks south of the
City Park, at 1890 a. M, Saturday,
December 10th. Professor E. l..
Quaife of the Iowa State College, who
is conceded to be one of the best hog
judges in Iowa, will be present to con-
duct this demonstration This piece of
work has been one of the most popu-
lar in the state of Iowa this fall. The
difference in the cost of producing
pork from large and small litters and
from litters of strong vitality is so
great that the proper selection of
brood sows often means the difference
between profit and loss in pork pro-
duction.
Boys interested in the National
Banks Ton Litter Futurity Contest,
also boys interested in the regular
Purebred Sow and Litter Club should
plan to attend this demonstration, as
it will help materially in selecting
sows that will produce prize winning
litters.
We will also arrange for meeting
at 1870 p. M, the exact place at
which it will be held will be announc-
ed at the forenoon demonstration. AT
this time Professor Quaife will dis
cuss feeding, care and management OF
brood sows and their litters.
