breeders. One of the bulls purchased
Is now valued at $500 and the orr
ginal purchases have increased 70
100 head. Seventy Eve per cent of
me farmers OF the town own good
dairy herds and last year there were
30 Holsteins owned by members of
the local Holstein association. The
fact that this town has gained more
u population ana manufacturing
tam any other town OF it's size in
Missouri is attributed to the dairy

VALUE OF PAVILION
LIVESTOCK EXPERT LAYS
STRESS ON SALES
Or. M. 3. Wood Relates Profitable
Experiences At the Mankato
- Institution .-.r

"The only way that the livestock
industry can be bettered in this
community is through the medium
of public sales" said DR.. NJ. B. Wood,
one OF the best versed livestock
men in the northwest, in an inter
view given to The Free Press today.
And the best way to further the
sales of livestock is to have proper
housing for the animals when they
are brought here to market. For
this reason am confident that
livestock pavilions such as we have
in Mankato, are one of the best
aids to the livestock industry. l
can give you a number of specific
instances Of this. In one of the
sales held this fall at the Mankato
livestock pavilion, man who own
ed fine Guernsey found no market
for her in hist home community of
Henderson. He brought the COW to
the public sale at Mankato and she
topped the sale lat $500. Another in
stance Of the value of public sales,
and the possession of a good pa
vilion in which, to show the animals,
was strongly evidenced by man at
Albert Lea Yhp sold his farm, and
wanted to dispose Of his purebred
livestock. / made arrangements for
the sale at Mankato livestock pa
yilion, and he sold his cattle at
higher prices than he could obtain
at Albert Leaf one of the principal
cattle centers bf the state, and half
OF the COWS were purchased by All
bert Lea people and shipped back
to that community.
y ..4L. 40 a.
invariably state that the sales held
at Mankato livestock pavilion are
among the best in the entire north
west.
Aside for the increasing livestock
market whichlis developing at Man
kato due to the pavilion, these sales
are valuable advertising for Man
kato. Many of the livestock breed
ers expressed themselves as greatly
pleased with. this city. These men
go away ard pass along a good
word for Mankato. The sales al
Mankato are rapidly developing a
market for purebred stock in north
ern Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota,
and especially west and south as far
as the state line. In the last two
sales, DR.. Wood stated that thirty
fine purebreds were placed between
here and the west state line.
II am a stakeholder in Mankato
livestock pavilion, and / think 1t a
good thing. I do not believe that
anyone who put his money into il
thought that there would be direct
dividends, but that he would be in
directly benefited through the build
ing up of the livestock industry in
this community. The evidences of
this are to be seen on every hand"
said DR.. Wood in closing.

OBTAIN GRAM RATE CUT

An example of how the Farm Bur-
eau, county, state and national is
working to solve the problems Of
Farmers is to be found In a recent
reduction in grain freight rates. OBJ
tanned for farmers living In the vi
cinity OF Lewiston, Winona county.
AS a result OF CO. operation between
the county, state and national or
CARNATIONS, the rate on wheat from
Lewiston TO Chicago has been cut
from 22A to I9k cents and on corn
cents. The reduction will mean q
$4,000 a year to farmers shipping
through the Lewiston CO. operative
elevator alone, according to NJ. M.
Meyer, manager. The case was bas-
ed on data prepared by County
Agent j. B. McNulty, showing the
Lewiston rate was three cents high
er than similar hauls in several sec.
tions OF the country. This data was
used by the Transportation de.
paHtment of the national officel CO.
operating with the state headquar-
tiers to obtain the desired chance In
freight tariffs. The Farm Bur3au's
greatest argument was that the nigh
er freight rate made 1t Impossible
for the local cooperative elevator
to meet the competition of Hher
grain buyers. Had it not beeM for
the Farm Bureau, the unjust rate
would have continued. for indiv4 dual
farmers never would have been{ able
to bring about the change" SANS w.
H. Wischow secretary Of the Winona
county Farm Bureau.
PRISON MACHINERY PLANT
The machinery plant of the Min

now on a full production basis, ac !
cording to NJ. G.. Mcmillan. superin i
tendent of industries. Machinery
sales during 1921 and 1922 were TAR
below normal, he says, because OF
the farmers financial condition.
Many farm machine plants wkrc
obliged to close entirely, and natu-
rally, the prison plant felt the effect
Of the slump. However, 1923 Has
seen revival of business for the
machinery makers, at least Mime i
sofa products-as the prison mach
ines are cailed-are selling twice
as fast as they were a year ago.
Our twine orders are in excess OF
our production and our machinery
sales are growing daily" Mr.. Nc.
MILAN says. 1.-The plant is now real
1Zing on the CO. operation OF the
Farm Bureaus of the state, both
state and county, which proved SO
valuable to the farmers and to the
plant year ago. Every machine
sold at that time was an advertise II
ment for the plant and farmers are
fast learning that they can buy al
state made product that is as good
or better than any other machine oni
the market, at a, somewhat lower
cost. There is practically no limit toI
the extent to which the prison.
machinery business can be expanded
for we have gone far in breaking
down a prejudice agains prison
made machines which. has been a
great handicap to our machinery
sales in the past" The prison now
maintains two extension workers,
who VIVA be sent to any gathering OF
farmers interested in knowing more
about the prison plant.
