STATE, CITY UNITE SCHOOL

The following item is sent to us
with the notation that it will perhaps
be of interest to this community on
account of the similarity of situations
here and at Madison, S. D.:
The city OF Madison, South Dako-
ia, has voted bonds for new ward
school building with the understand
ing that it will be turned over to the
normal school to be used exclusively
for training purposes. The normal
school board of regents and the local
board of education of Madison, will
enter into contract to carry oat
this cooperative arrangement. BY
entering into this contract, the city OF
Madison viii secure an excellent
school system, the operating expense
of which will be borne by the state
of South Dakota.

VALUE OF COUNTY AGENT

Dairymen of the nation think of
Wisconsin first when they think in
terms of dairy cattle and the best
field for the purchase of choice stock.
The evidence is in the sales records
of 1922, now available, which show
that approximately 10000 head of
dairy cattle valued at $3,000,00O were
sold by Wisconsin livestock men to
buyers from outside the state during
the year.
But il takes some effort to attrack
the best customers. The sales were
the result of work done by local breed
associations, by the livestock specil-
list of the Wisconsin College of Agri-
culture, and by the county agents.
Because of the nationwide organ
ization of the county agent system,
men who are looking for bred-for-
production cattle almost always
write to the county agents of the ter
ritories in which they are interested.
Fifty Wisconsin counties have such
agents and hardly day passes by in
which Wisconsin county agents are
not assisting their farmers to sell
surplus stock.

Eliza Clancy was born in Roches-
ter, New York. April 8. 1888, and
died at her home in River Falls, Wis,
March 90, 1923, at the age of SO
years, IL months and 20 days, thus

Grandma Sansbum was an active

known.
For some years she had not been
able to hear what was said from the
pulpit, but she did not absent herself
from the house of God on this account
but was always found at the regular
services of the church, and at the BIZ
monthly meetings Of the Aid, where
she always took a delight in doing
what she could.
The services were held Saturday

at the home. A mixed quartet, COM
posed of Mrs. Wilmar Phillips and
Mrs. Bird, Mr.. w. A. Chapman and
Professor Powers, sang, and her pas
tor, Rev. G. A. Bird, spoke from the
familiar and appropriate words found
in the 25th chapter and the 34th verse
of the Gospel of Matthew; Come We
blessed of my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation Of the world"
She was laid to rest in Greenwood
cemetery, by the side of her faithful
kGshanl, who preceded her to- the
better country ten years ago.

Show May S1-June |

The committee in charge of the Riv.
er Falls Live Stock Show are max
ing plans for the show which is to be
held May 31-June / this year. 1t has
been generally conceded that each
show has been an improvement over
the shows held previously. This will
be the 18th show of the association.
The following is the organization for
the show this year:
Pres.-C. N. Wiger
Vice Pres.-J. L. Chapman, ST..
Sec. NJ. May

At the last meeting it was decided
to extend the organization by elect
ing a board of directors consisting
of two members for each of the breeds
of livestock represented. They are
as follows:

C. E. Hanson, assemblyman from

bill through the legislature to have
the River Falls show placed on the
same basis as the county fairs. If
this is done the state will pay 50 per
cent of the money expended for prem
iums. 1t would be highly desirable
for a number from this section TO
write to Mr.. Hanson in regard to this
matter.

BETTER BERRIES ARE GROWN
RIGHT HERE IN RIVER FALLS

Now is the season when nursery
plant agents and nursery catalogues
flock into this territory, so it is time
ly to call attention to the fact that
right here at home we have a source
of supply in the berry plant line that
is on a par with the best and far SUI
perior to most.
For the past ten years Coley
Krauth, over ON the West Side, has
engaged in the growing of berry
plants, specializing in Strawberries,
raspberries, gooseberries and cur
rants. He has developed his stock
in thorough, conscientious manner,
kiiscarding whatever does not come
up to the highest standard, and al
ways working toward the perfection
of every strain which he adopts. sort
ing them out until every plant can
boast honest quality for the market.
MI. Krauth has about go varieties
of strawberry plants, of which the
Dunlap is the most popular, with
the Everbearing, Progressive and the
Superb as runners up"
He has four ''breeds" of raspber-
ries, the Everbearing taking first
honors in this department. His Dew
ey goosebelries are an exceptionally
fine strain, and thrive splendidly. Mr..
Krauth's London Marke currants are
highly praised by all who have tried
them out.
Mr.. Krauth states that, on account
of the cold March, berry planting
will not start until the very latter
part of April or the first of May.
Those who contemplate setting out
berry plants this Spring should GER
tainly get in touch with Mr.. Krauth.
His patrons of former years all praise
the quality of his plants, and the fact
| of his being right in the community
should win consideration over out
side agencies.

would appear that Spring was IS

it has been this year:

ing from the northeast, which dur

rain, but the temperature rapidly fell,
turning the rain to ice. Toward night

was widespread and left more snow
