Grant County Jersey Calf Club Good
The boys and girls of Grant County
who entered their calves, fed and kept
records of them for the summer and
brought them to the Grant County Fair
are to be congratulated A very fine
class of live stock and a fine group Of
boys and girls. The only thing we
have to regret is that we did not have
40 calves instead of but H. What finer
work can the boy or girl do than this?
Let them have something that is alive,
give them something to interest them
and we will have better men and WO-
men as the result. Let us start some
thing now Make plans for next year.
Let us have all those who were game
enough this year to come back and let
us have 20 more. Why not other breeds
get behind their cattle. Likewise,
swine and sheep. Let us have at the
least 200 live stock club members for
Grant County in 1924 Are you inter
ested?
