At the Pierce County Fair, which
will be held next week, you viii see
a very large exhibit of livestock.
Two carloads will come here from the
eastern part of the county and three
from the vicinity of River Falls, be-
sides what will be trucked and hauled
in with teams. A Duroc-Jersey
Futurity and a Poland China pro-
motion Show will be features of the
of the Swine Exhibit. Another tent
40 by so will hold the livestock ex-
hibits of the boys and girls in Club
Work in this county. Other exhibits
of Club Members will be open on the
second floor of the Livestock Pavilion.
Be sure that you see the exhibits of
the young folks before you go home
from the Fair. We also plan to
have Dairy Products Exhibit ex-
planning the work to be carried on in
the Countrywide Dairy Products
Campaign which will be put on Oct.
90 to Nov. 8. There will be an alfalfa
booth which will inspire Pierce
County farmers to raise more of the
Miracle Crop. One of the biggest
features at the Fair will be a demon
stration showing two cows affected
with tuberculosis. The two animals
are from a Pierce County herd and
have reacted to the test. They will
be exhibited on the southeast corner
of the Fair Grounds. On the 3rd
morning the animals will be slaught
cred and the carcass will be on dis
play showing the LESSONS of tuberculo-
sis. DR.. Knilans of the Livestock
Exchange will be present the last
day and will talk on eradication of
tuberculosis.
Every poultry house that has bee
used by the fouls during the past
season should be thoroughly disin-
fected before the new flock is put in
it. This should be done while the
weather is still warm so that the
house can be thoroughly soaked with
a good disinfecting solution and then
properly dried out before fowls are
allowed to enter. All roosts and
nest boxes should be painted with
corbolinium or some wood preserva
tive. All fowls, if infested with lice,
should have either a dust bath or a
dip of Sodium Flouride. Corbolinium
can be purchased at most any hard
ware store and Sodium Flouride at
the drug stores.
If you plan to have state soil
analysis MAIDS of your farm for the
conservative price of $500 for 80
acres you should get your application
for same in at once. The soil special
list will be here the latter part of
September to do the work. This is
money we'll spent as you know exact
ly the condition of the soil on your
farm, as far as the fertility is con-
cerned.
The tobacco growers of Pierce
County have taken a step in the eff
ficient marketing of their crop when
a group of them met last Thursday
night and listened to talk by Mr..
Neprud the Field Manager of the
Wisconsin Cooperative Tobacco
Pool. He explained the workings of
the same and reported that 1879 of
the tobacco grown in Wisconsin is
handled by the Pool. Contracts
were signed up to market their to-
bacco thru the Pool for the next 5h"ee
years. Another meeting will be
held Tuesday, Sept. II, at Brasing
ton to finish signing up as the weather
conditions were very poor the first
evening and all the growers were not
present. Pierce County should he
100 per cent in this poo! as then the
growers tobacco is sold at the highest
price on the grade that he produces.
There is a cost of $500 to join the
Pool. One dollar to be paid When
Joining and the remaining $500 to be
taken out of the price Of the tobacco
vher sold The seller. will practi-
CALI get so per cent Of the price of
the tobacco when it is delivered and
the remainder is paid when all the
tobacco is sold. If futher explana-
ton of the Tobacco Pool is wanted
