The Herald is publishing a serial,
First Aid to Farm Profits through
the kindly cooperation of the Wis
consin College of Agriculture. We
ask every farmer to read this thor
oughly as the office has gone to con-
siderable pains and expense to pre-
pare the matter. We would also like
to hear from various farmers as we
meet them as to what they think of it
and if it is of value and interest to
them. The Herald's circulation is
easily 20 percent farm readers and
the basic industry of the county is ag-
riculture. Articles that make for bet
ter farming and prove of value and in
terest to the farmers will find a place
