sIn one respect, at least. Mir. Peek ham is entitled to blue ribbon. He has solved the problem of keeping the boys on the farm" Of six sons. four are now on the home farm, Clay ton, Charles, Ernest and Warren the youngest thirteen. Another son. Bert, is just starting with farm of his own and hopes eventually to build up a Guernsey herd. His oldest son, Roy. is in business in Norwich. A daughter is married and living on a nearby farm.
 ''The boys are as much interested in the herd as their father Year by year they see the herd growing strong CT as to type and more productive at the milk pail. It is an incentive to any red-blooded farm boy. While other boys are leaving the home farms to work in the mills or in city offices, these young fellows are stick ing right with the farm because they see a future to it. Hard work rarely drives boy off the farm; it Is hard work without any material sign of progress that kills the love of the soil. Perhaps if MT. Peckham had continu- ed to send the boys out to milk ma

Every new county agent learns to feel at home at the Peekham dinner table and when he wants to put over a good demon stration in silage corn, clover, pota- toes or what-not he knows right where he can find a sympathetic ear. The specialists from the Extension Ser vice of the Connecticut Agricultural College like to carry on their work here. His a00-bushel potato crop is a demonstration of Northern-grown, certified, Green Mountain seed. The corn that grows so luxuriant and heavy-eared, Is a demonstration of silage corn varieties. He has had the help of the experts in growing his heavy crops of clover. It would take one man a long time to learn all of these things by himself, but by help ing the county agent and the specia. lists put over their own pet projects, Mir. Peekham learns thing or two as he goes along. He has probably done as much as any man to make for the success of Farm Bureau work in his county, has been president of the Farmers Association, has been a mainstay in cooperative buying ven lures and is always ready to give and receive information.

PUTNAM HIGH LOSES
Basket Ball Team is Defeated by

The basket ball team of Putnam High school. though without the ser vices of Calhoun, star floor guard, and of Cartier, forward. nevertheless made a good showing against the Plainfield High team at Plainiield Tuesday evening. The score of the game was Plainfeld 26, Putnam Il. The game at Putnam saw the Plain field five win by practically the same score. and it was generally expected that thev would have a walkaway at Plainfield. especially with two Put nam players out of the game. This was not the case, however, the Put nam team putting up stout resist ance at all times although it was de- feated St. Onge and Thayer SCOT ed most of the points for Putnam, and VI. et was the star for Plaintield.

The score was practic- ally tied at the end of the first half, but in the final period the Putnam team held it's opponents almost score less and tossed in several field bas- kets

 Peckham herd to champions of the Guernsey breed is not so much in the quality of the cattle he has produced, although he carries away most of the blue ribbons at the local fairs, but cows of nondescript breeding, and with no infusion of better blood ex- cept through the medium of purebred bulls, he has built up very ereditable herd of cows in thirteen years. He has changed the complexion of his farm ledger from red ink to black because of his faith in purebred Guernsey bulls. Eventually he hopes to have a purebred herd. When he does he will know enough about Guernsey cattle to insure his success.

 Advertises Pure Bred Herd
 Gaps on the bottles of cream and wrappers on the butter emphasize the fact of a tuberculin tested herd. Mir. Peckham has lost but one animal in the tnberculin test. This seems like luck to some farmers but when one remembers that Mir. Peckham has been raising his own heifers for thirteen years and that his bulls have been tested before introduction into the herd. the matter of luck does not seem so probable an explanation.

NORTH PART OF
COUNTY GOOD
Much Hard Wheat To Go 30
Bushels an Acre. Local
Man Predicts

Crops in northern Burleigh county,
along the Pingree branch of the
Northern Pacific. are the best in
many years and it is difficult to see
how they could generally be improv-
ed. according to p. c. Remington,
president Of the City National Bank
Of this city, who. has travelled much
in northern Burleigh county and IN
Kidder county as far east as Tuttle.
Mr.. Remington predicted that much
hard wheat would make 30 bushels
to the acre and durum more. Much
of the wheat was planted on summer
fallow and is exceptionally good.
The comparatively small amount of
poor wheat, he said. generally is the
result of improper planting. In on
-ly one or two snail sections the crops
are not so good, there having been
damage from Jack of moisture.
Farmers who used carload OF
seed wheat placed in Regan territory
by Mr.. Remington ,this year are be-
ing offered so cents a bushel premium
for it, he said.

German Motor
Builders Fear
u. S. Competition

Leipsic, Aug. S.-German automo-
bile manufacturers are much wor-
ried over the prospects Of American
competiton Certain embargoes up
on the importation of foreign cars
are about to expire, after which
nothing but customs tariff will
stand in the way of flood of Am
erican autos.
German manufacturers recognize
that they can only hope to meet
American competition if they unite
and simplify production. Thus far
there has been tendency for every
auto engineer coming up from the
ranks to set up for himself as soon
as his funds permitted, and to de-
wise car slightly different from
existing types. The result has been
that mass production is unknown IN
Germany.
As Il first step toward concen-
tration and centraliZation. the two
largest automobile manufacturers
in Germany, Daimler and Benz,
have pooled their interests and en-
tered into an arrangement which
approaches STANDARDIZATION.
