COMMISSIONS TAKE STEPS
TO PROTECT LOWLY CLAM
Large Area i'm Mississippi Closed TO
Shell Fisherman.

The conservation commissions OF
Iowa and Wisconsin have issued an
other order in relation to the fishing
for pearl mussel shells in the Missis
sippi, virtually closing all those sec
tions Of the river along these two
states which have been open in the
past and opening those sections that
have been closed.
1t is made effective too, by the CO.
operation of the two states working in
conjunction to preserve the fast de-
pleting beds which in years past have
Welded millions in buttons and prec-
ious stones.
The closed areas, according to the
new order, which is numbered 40, are
from Lansing to Harper's Ferry in a
straight east and west line across the
channel, or from the head of island
No. 1853 to the head of Gordon Bay;
from the G. NJ & st. P. pontoon
bridges between Prairie du Chen and
Marquette to a line across the chan
mel from the main street of Gutten-
berg and Cassville slough; from
Specht's Ferry across the channel in
direct continuance of the Potosi canal
to the Wisconsin shore to the rail-
way bridge across the channel at Du-
buque.
The only open areas in this same
section are from the Minnesota state
line to Lansing; from Harper's Fer
ry to the pontoon bridges at Prairie
du Chen and Marquette, and from
Gutenberg to Specht's Ferry.
The new arrangement goes into eff
feet ON June 1, 1928, and stands for
five years, or until and including May
81, 192S.-COurier.

COW TEST WORK PAYS
FARMER REPORTS SHOW

The selling of Al COWS for dairy
purposes and the sending to the butch
err block of 40 improbable COWS are
high points in the annual report OF
the Mt. Hope-Fennimore Cow Testing
association report. Interesting facts
about the work of this association
which was founded in 1914 have been
compiled by Blaine G. Paulson, tester
for the association.
In summarizing the activities for
1922 he reports Twenty-four mem
bers completed the full years work;
40 Improbable COWS were sold for
Def; Al COWS were sold for dairy pur-
poses; % COWS were purchased; eight
bulls were purchased and IA sold.
Every member uses a purebred sire.
Each member has a silO. Seven mem
bers installed individual drinking
cups; Is members have electric
lights; Is members have modern barn
equipment Seven herds are tubercu-
lin tested. Five members were in
duced to have soil surveys made of
their farms.
An exhibit of a high-producing COW
as compared with a low producing
COW was held at the county fair. Some
AZ COWS produced 365 or more pounds
of butter fat during the year. The
average yearly production for each
COW in the association was 1862
pounds of milk and 270 pounds Of
butter fat. Twenty-Five members fed
balanced rations; 20 members fed
grain to COWS on pasture.
The high COW in the association was
a 5-year old Jersey owned by Thee
dore Wehrle & Son which produced
9,S4S pounds of milk containing 565
pounds of butter fat.
The high herd in the association
was that of E. D. Morse. This herd
Of registered Holsteins averaged $3.50
pounds of milk, containing 363.7
pounds of butter fat.

GRANT COUNTY LEADS
IN BUTTER PRODUCTION

The southwestern section of Wis
consin, including Grant county, con-
tributed the volume of butter in 1922,
which gave Wisconsin as a state sec
ond position in butter making rank in
the United States.
Grant county with it's 27 creameries
produced 4,925,264 pounds of butter,
and not only took second place among
the counties of the state but came out
first as to quality. The value of the
Grant county product was $1,667 400.
Nineteen hundred and twenty-three
will place Grant county at the top be-
cause a federation of the creameries
will take place this year increasing
production as we'll as improving mar
keting conditions.

FARM NOTES.
More Ton Litters.

Still they come and there is still
room for more, Griswold Bros, Liv-
ingston; Walter Steinhoff, Platteville;
Ole Hanson and w. w. West, both Of
Hazel Green, have entered filters in
this past week. There is room for
you, and if you have got litter of ten
you better get them entered. Grant
county leads now, and we must keep
it in the lead. Send in for informa-
ton. Pigs narrowed in April and May
are eligible.
Grade GuernseyS Sold.
Within the last ten days eight head
of grade Guernseys were sold to w.
J. Sullivan from Iowa. They were
two-year-ol and mature COWS from
herds right near the county seat. A
few facts that the sale of these brings
out to me are that Iowa is good
buyer for Grant county COWS. Another
fact is that high grade COWS from
herds that have used real bred for
production sires and are able to show
the earning of the COWS in the herd,
able to demand good prices.
The cattle were purchased from
Granville and Nelson, Roy Eddy, and
Albert Brinkman herds. The eight
head bringing an average Of $4,000
per head More cattle are wanted W
Iowa men. Let's read the writing IN
the sand. Breed better cattle and
test them from the production stand
point.
That we may raise a better class OF
potatoes and know what varieties are
best for our soils in Grant county and
at the same time get known varieties
to select samples from for our County
Booth at the State Fair, few bushels
are being put out in different parts
of the county. Not that Grant county
is a potato county or that we think it
best that we put efforts to make it
one, however, we believe that Grant
county can produce as many and as
good a grade of potatoes as others.
The County Booth is a mirror OF our
county, therefore, we must show the
public what can be produced here.
The following varieties have been Sc
lected for trials: Green Mountain,
Russet Rurals, Rural New Workers,
Early Ohio, Irish CObblers. All OF
these except the Early Ohio are late
varieties. All seed is certified and
are free from disease.
Thes samples are being put out on
new land, and land that has been
cultivated one year, and that crop
must have been potatoes. They must
be treated with the Formaldehyde
treatment before planting. The
amount put out to each person is 20
pounds of any variety.
