Good Speaking Program, Ball
Game and Band Concert Make
Picnic a Success

The annual picnic of the Sunburg
FARMERS Creamery Association was
held Thursday afternoon at Sunburg
and was attended by a good sized
crowd. The work in the fields how
ever kept many farmers from attend
Ing the picnic. The program began at
Two o'clock and was in. charge of
County Agent E. l.. Rodegeb.
w. R.. Hargrave; county agent of
Swift county, was the first speaker
and gave an interesting talk on the
dairy business. He declared that in
MS county he was urging the farmers
to produce more milk, butter and
cheese. In that business, Mr.. Har-
grave declared, that farmers will find
more prosperity and greater income
for their labors than in other forms Of
produce.
N. ]. Hedlund, representing the
State Creamery Shipping Association,
gave brief talk in (which he urged
the farmers to become members Of
the state organization and thru that
membership secure advantages which
they otherwise would not have. A saw
ing of Importance will thus be made
to the farmer,
Mr.. Rodegeb then introduced James
Rasmussen Of Albert Lea who gave
the audience some advice in regard to
improving the quality Of the milk
which they bring to the creamery. His
talk contained some good ideas.
Talk on Woman
The principal speaker of the pro-
gram was Hon. II. j. Hay Of the state
department of agriculture In place of
launching into a technical and detail
ed lecture on agriculture or dairying
he gave very amusing and highly
entertaining talk on the woman on the
Sarm. His statements along that very
interesting line were true as
an arrow and had a pleasing effect on
the audience after the previous dis
courses on farming and dairying. Mr..
Hay has a fine gift of combining rich
humor with knowledge and keen in
sight into things relative to the farm.
AS the last paragraph Of his speech
he condemned the scrub bull and ur-
ged the farmers to invest in pure bred
bull stock.
Between the various numbers on the
program County Agent Rodegeb de-
livered interesting remarks on farm
topics.

E. Do you know that nine out Of every

rheumatism of the muscles or chronic
rheumatism, neither of which require

may be relieved by applying Chams
