MISS HOPLEY QUITS
AS DRY LECTURER
Work Outside Authority of
Government, Prohibition
Leaders Decide.

Miss Georgia Hopley of Bucyrus,
Ohio, who was the first woman gen
eral prohibition agent and friend of
President Harding, has resigned, eff
fective July 9.
Her work that of spreading infor-
nation favorable to prohibition among
the women's organizations of the
country. finally has been decided as
outside the pale of the kind of ac
tivity which should be paid for by the
Federal Government.
The decision that Miss Hopley should
no longer continue on the Government
pay roll in that capacity was reached.
it was learned. after it had been
agreed to by Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes. Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Blair and Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Andrews, who is now
the field marshal of all prohibition
matters for the Federal Government
Mr.. Andrews was out of the city to-
day. Commissioner Haynes refused to
be interviewed for publication. Com
missioner Blair let il be known that he
felt Miss Hopley's work should have
been done by outside organizations,
not the Government. 1t was under
stood that Mr.. Andrews stood with Mr..
Blair, and may have instigated the
move to terminate her work. This
was not officially confirmed
Bureau Opposed.
Since the original organization of
Commissioner Haynes information"
bureau, it was learned today. there
had been a difference of opinion as to
whether such activity was appropriate
for the Federal Government. In the
beginning II was much larger than
recently. John Wesley Hill of Lin
coin University formerly was one of
the lecturers attached TO the prohibi-
, ton information staff as was also the
late sherman A. Cuneo. Miss Hopley
was the last one of the lecturers.
On behalf of Commissioner Haynes
it was said today that there had
been no great difference of opinion
over Miss Hopley's work, and that
Mr.. HAYNES had finally approved her
resignation.
Friends of Miss Hopley were un-
derstood TO have made every effort
to have her retained in the Govern
ment service. but to no avail
1t was authoritatively said on be-
half of Mr.. Haynes that he did not
contemplate resigning as result of
the Hopley incident.

tire milking herd, under Cow Test
ing Association records, has an
average annual record of 368 lbs.
of butterfat per cow.
Two unusual sires will be found
at the head of the Scotch Short
Horn herd at Sherman Farms.
The first of these two fine, Wig
orous animals is Sultan Type (No.
9935O1 under registry of the
American Short Horn Breeders
Association) who is a beautiful
individual, with some of the
strongest characteristics of the
Scotch Short Horn breed.
A Fine Pedigree
Sultan Type was bred by Bel
lows Brothers of Maryville, Mis-
souri,. He was sired by Fair Sui
tan mo. 494475). Fair Sultan was
by Fair Acre Sultan, by White
Hall Sultan. White Hall Sultan
generally was considered the
greatest sire of all time by Scotch
Short Horn breeders.
Sultan Types dam was Lustre
Lavender 4th mo. 8002AO, bred
by Bellows Brothers at Maryvllle,
Missouri, as was Lustre Lavender,s
dam and grand-dam.
Sultan Type is of very strong
Scotch breeding and beyond any
question is one of the best Short
Horn sires in this section OF WIS
consin. Sultan Type has won the
grand champion award at several
county fairs and locally never has
been beaten. His present crop OF
calves are outstanding. Fle weighs
twenty-three hundred pounds, and
has a coat like velvet, and in all
ways is an animal worth going
miles to see.
An Unusual Individual
The junior Scotch Short Horn
herd sire at Sherman Farms is SUI
preme Signet (No 1224361), who
is Just three years old. IIe is a
very dark roam, stands like a
Hackney stallion. and has confor-
nation and individuality which
promise to make him a really not
able sire.
Supreme Signet was sired by
Park Dale Radium, (No. 449574),
The River Falls times. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1894-1933, 1925-11-01

by Radium, by Double Dale, by
Avondale. This breeding assures
a pre-protent herd sire of the fl
nest type.
Supreme Signet's dam was Miss
Lilly 3rd., ono 80O248), she trac-
ing back to William Duthie's
strong Josephine family.
The pictures Of these herd sires
show them as they are today, were
taken without any special prepare
ton and no more than do them
justice.
From Popular Families
The breeding Short Horn herd
at Sherman Farms is composed en-
tirely of pure Scotch females from
such popular families as the fol
lowing:
The Nonpareil, Clara, Claret,
Augusta, Clipper, Marigold, Vic
toria, Beauty, Lavender, Mari
Marietta, Bruce Sunbeam, Crook
shank, Rosemary, Acanthus, May
flower and Village Girl families.
Pick of The Lot
In assembling the animals for
the foundation stock Of this fine
Scotch Short Horn herd, Geo. Z.
and Lloyd Sherman selected some
of the finest individuals to be found
on leading Scotch Short Horn
farms in a half dozen Middle West
ern states. Among the well known
herds, from which foundation
stock was purchased for Sherman
Farms at River Falls, were the fol
lowing:
The herd of the late S. T. Ella
son, at Montevideo, Minnesota; Y.
F. Landon's herd, at Winona, Min
nesota; the herd of Carpenter &
Ross, at Mansfield, Ohio; that Of
Bellows Brothers, at Maryville,
Missouri; the herd of NJ. B. Reed,
at Carthage, Illinois; the well
known Cahill Brothers herd, at
Rockford, Iowa; the herd of Les
lie Farms, at Pekin, Illinois, and
the fine herd formerly owned By
White & Smith, now the property
of Leslie Smith & Sons, at ST.
Clond. Minnesota.
This Scotch Short Horn herd on
Sherman Farms today is composed
The River Falls times. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1894-1933, 1925-11-01

of about fifty per cent of animals
bred on the place, although most
of the old foundation COWS still are
retained in the herd.
Sherman Farms contain 800
acres, of which $50 acres are in
wooded hills and Kinnickinnic bot
tom pasture. Eighty acres are
used for corn, fifty acres for grow
ing alfalfa, and thirty acres for
night pasture for the dairy herd.
Modern Methods
Under the modern system of
farming in vogue on this place,
all roughage is grown at home and
all concentrates are purchased.
Each year ten acres is summer
falIowed until the first week in
July and then is seeded to alfalfa.
Ten acres is ploWed up each year.
The alfalfa land is given a lib
eral top dressing Of stable manure
each year. The corn land is given
an application of $50 pounds of
acid phosphate per acre, annually,
and top dressing of manure, if
available, after the alfalfa land
and pastures have had their top
dressing.
Of the 80 acres of corn, 20 acres
ore left to shred after filling four
silos with an average capacity Of
100 tons, these silos being fourteen
bv forty feet in dimension.
Hogs Are Fattened
In addition to the Holstein-
Friesian and Scotch Short Horn
cattle herds, large number of
hogs are fed and fattened at Sher-
man Farms each year, and draft
horses are bred for use as work
horses on the home place. At pres
ent. there are thirteen head of
horses, mostly colts, on the farms.
Sherman Farms are operated on
. business basis. All records are
carefully kept, and all work in
cronnine and with the herds is
handled in scientific. business
like manner. AS result. its own

sweeping view of hill and dale and
cuIClyated countryside, that adds
materially to It's pleasant environ

ing water to pasturelands the year
around.
Keen Interest in Farm
Although Geo. C. SheIman's
business interests keep him in Mn
neapoiis, he is frequent visitor
at Sherman Farms, and at all times
he has full information Of the pro-
gress of herds and crops on the
nome place. He is keenly interest
ed in this enterprise and its sue
cess. His sound business judg-
ment and his willingness to carry
out modern scientific methods of
agriculture and cattle breeding,
have been large factors in the pro-
gress of this establishment to date.
Geo. C. Sherman was raised on
q farm and spent his boyhood near
Delhi, Iowa. Although he has spent
forty years in the business world,
he never has lost his love for the
farm and farm life. He is finish
eed horseman, and at one time
drove some of the best known
trotters and PAGERS that raced in
matinee events on the Minneapolis
Lake of The Isles ice speedway.
Improve Farm Methods
The coming of Geo. G. Sherman
and Sons to the Kinnickinnic Val
ley has had an appreciate effect
in improving farm methods in this
vicinity. Geo C. and L. P. Sher-
man are rated as good neighbors
and real friends by a majority Of
the people resident in Kinnickin-
mic Township. They have taken
helpful part in community af-
fairs, whenever opportunity has
offered, and have been of neigh
borly service to many residents
n the vicinity.
