crushing there. He plans to start
crushing in the Bryant quarry at
Elmwood, February /. If you live IN
the vicinity of Elmwood and expect t,
use lime, leave your order with one
of the bankers at Elmwood. Farmers
in the neighborhood of Spring Valle,'
can get limestone froii the crusher
operating at Wilson. Farmers in
the vicinity of Maiden Rock. Prescott
and Ellsworth should place orders
with bankers or send then direct to
me and lime will be shipped in from
st. Paul during January and Feb
ruary. 1t will be shipped in box
ears and will be of finer grade than
last YEAR. Orders placed early will
avoid hauling the material on poor
roads next spring. If you are not
certain whether you need limestone or
not, and want to find out, send soil
samples to this Office and they will
be tested for acidity.
Twenty-six farmers have again
signed up for another year in the
Spring Valley Cow Testing Associa-
tion. Nearly all the old members
are in the association again. AS
soon as a good tester can be pro-
cured, an organization meeting will
be held at Spring Valley and officers
elected for the coming year.
Reports Of the ten highest COWS and
two highest herds in each Of the six
cow testing associations in Pierce
County will be found in this weeks
papers. Look them over and lind out
the good dairy cows we have in the
county.
l have an inquiry from a party
near Duluth, Mimi, for two carloads
of good quality oats. The party will
be willing to pay the prevailing
market price He would like to load
one car about the 10th of January.
ANY farmer or group of farmers hav-
ing oats to sell, please let me know
at once. These oats are to be used
for feeding.
The annual Farmers Course will
be held at Madison again this year,
February 40. A very good prog ram
is being prepared by Director X. l..
Hatch. We hope that a few farmers
and their wives from Pierce County
can again attend this annual event.
Further programs will be published
alter on.
All reports show that there will be
a shortage of good scedcorn the COM
.ng spring. If you have saved any
seed and still have it hanging out
side, it would be wise to put it IN
dry place under cover where the sud-
den changes of temperature would
not affect it very much. If you ex-
pect to have a surplus of seed and
care W SCH Sdjlltl, iSt iii6 hA-Nfss ~
that we can at least supply farmers
of Pierce County with home grown
seed corn.
The second term of the Agricul-
tural Short Course at Madison opens
January 2. If any young man plans
to take short course in Agriculture
this affords a good time to enroll.
Further information on this can be
obtained by writing 7. L. Bewik,

you any good ones to sell? Would

THE FARM BUREAU AND

During the month of Decem-
Der, 1922, twenty-eight questions
were submitted by the State
Federation of Farm Bureau to a
referendum vote by the men,

the annual meeting of the State
Federation the same questions
were discussed and acted upon.
Among the outstanding recon-
mendations of the Federation

propriate funds for the support

it at a unit meeting in Askov.
If the majority of the farmers
in any county want the County
Agent their commissioners will
vote to support it or the voters
will elect another commissioner.
During the World War we got
in the habit of submitting to die
tatory commands which may be
proper under war conditions but
is mtolerable under normal con-
ditions in a democratic COM

another, in political and auto
cratic bureaus and directorates,
for instance there are two bills
before the national legislature to
amend the Federal Farm Loan
Act which if enacted will com
pletely destroy the cooperative
feature of that act; it will
deprive the farmers of this
country of the financial indie
pendence which that Act had
sought to give them The
present board of directors of the
Federal Land Bank recommend
these changes and so does Con-
gresham Strong, a member of
the socalled Farm Bloc, and Mr..
R. A. Cooper, a member of the
Farm Loan Board, Treasury De-
partment, Washington, d. c., in
a letter dated Dec. 9th, 1922, in
which he also recommends the
limit of loans to be changed from
$4,000 to $25, 900 regardless of
the fact that there has not been
sufficient money available to
take care of the loans up to
$4,000. The voters and tax
payers have practically lost con-

not all too sure, that our school
system at present is either ideal
