Thirty-three head of culls were ship
ped to Kansas City this month from
eight herds. These animals were found
to be Improbable producers or board
ers and were disposed of. Ten head
of tubercular relctors wcrn shipped
to the packing house for slaughter All
Of these ten showed more or less pro-
nounced LESSONS of tuberculosis. One
was condemned as unfit for food.
Harry Heath seeded ten acres with
Morton's pasture grass mixture. If
sufficient moisture can be obtained to
secure goof stand on this piece Mr..
Heath will have an excellent perman-

Due to the relatively high prices of
grain this spring and the gradually

prices for the first quarters of the
two years have been obtained and COM
pared. The average feed prices for
the first quarter of 1923 show an in
crease of 25.7 per cent above the prices
of last year for the same period. The
average increase in the prices paid for
milk for the same two quarters is ALB
Dpr cent These fipures indicate that
