WISCONSIN HOLSTEIN
ASSN GREATEST IN u. S.

When the State Holstein Associa-
ton meets in annual convention the
second step in building perfect Hol-
stein organization in Wisconsin will
have been completed. Last year, the
directorate gave delegate represen-
tation in the State Assn to every or
ganized county in the state on the
basis of one delegate for every coun-
ty Holstein Assn and one additional
delegate for every fifty or major
fraction thereof state assn members
residing in the various counties of the
stale. These delegates numbering
approximately seventy will attend the
state convention and transact the bus
mess of the annual meeting at Fond
du Lac Feb. 6. This year the state
assn officers will present plan thru
which all county associations will af-
filiate with the state body forming in
eality one big harmonious body
Thus by the payment of one small
Fee, Holstein owners whether grad
or pure-bred and residing in Wiscon
in, will become members not only o.
their local or county ass'ns, but alsc

is in turn now part of the Holstein-
Friesian Assn of America Extention
Service Secretary Oldham, who has
had charge of the big task Of affiliat-
ing the various county units with the
state organization, reports that in
less than four months he has succeed
ed in having nearly all of the 63
county organizations unanimously ap-
prove the new plan at the annual
meetings of their memberships. I'm
der the new plan all members of
county Holstein associations in Wis
consin are members of the state or
ganization and this enables Wisconsin
to have at least 1900 paid-up meln-
bers for 1928. This is indeed for
ward step and gives to Wisconsin the
honor of having the largest and
strongest State Holstein Association
in the world.

comforts of to their present standard and in all probability
eventually will compel the application of higher science to food
production The oldashoned farmer may resist to the last
your newfangd notions but Dame Nature will have her
despite the reactionary tendency
THE time is hand when the farmer solve the
problem Of the insect The Agricultural Department has done
much help but in all likelihood the farmer must work out his
salvation The Hessan fly could not exist not for
the growing of wheat barley and the Colorado beetle would
back to his native weeds not potato supplied to
him food The boil weev could exist where cotton not
grown 4
There few insects that have several food plants though
may live little time vegetation but the habits and
customs of the pests would indicate that though they
numerous is impossible for the farmer to cope with them
individually their i'll effects be greatly by
thoughtful system of crop Not all be
