partment will be glad to assist any
one who contemplates building or re-
modelling any farm building. II
you care for such service make ap-
plication at this Office.
We plan to place the order for the
car of pyrobol on Sept. Is. ALL those
who have ordered pyrotol should
sent in a check for the amount they
have ordered. Everyone ordering
pyrotol from now on should remit a
check to cover the amount they
order and this check should be made
out to the College of Agriculture.
The cost per 100 pounds of pyrotol
is $3.50. We are not positive
whether or not caps. will be received
with all orders as a number of car
loads have already been ordered and
they will be furnished with caps
first. This will be your only chance
to get in on carload lot order.
Otherwise all shipments will have to
be made by local freight which usu-
ably adds $1.00 or more to the cost
of 100 pounds of pyrotol. There are
a few hundred pounds of the ex-
plosive which will come in this car
that are not spoken fer but they go
to the first men who place their
orders.
Folks who are planning to use
limestone this year should make ar
rangemenlts to have the same ship
ped in this fall. Or, if it is planned
to have some crushing done in your
community, this matter should be
talked over with the ncighbors so
that large enough tonnage can be
secured to insure someone coming in
to the community with a crusher.
Limestone can be shipped in now at
q shorter notice this fall than later
on in the winter as there are not so
many orders on the waiting list. If
you plan to use any, get in touch
with this Office.
The Pierce County Bee Keepers
Association plan to have an educa
tional booth in the pavilion on the
Fam Grounds during the county fair
session, and will show some of the
samples of fine honey that is pro-
dueed in Pierce county. 1t rs hoped
that you will visit this booth and if
you plan to purchase any honey to
leave orders for same there. Sup
port an organization which is trying
to produce a better grade of honey.
The Lake Pepin Cooperative Poul-
try Producers Assn. plan to have an
Interesting exhibit in the pavilion
during the fair, showing the differ
ent grades of eggs in which eggs
from Pierce county producers are
placed, and also will give information
in regard to the workings of the as
sociation. A GAMBLER will be there to
show you how the different grades of
eggs look on the inside as we'll as on
the outside. How to Gull your
poultry will be demonstrated, by
showing birds with good points and
poor points. Some birds having /.
B. will be on exhibit. Points in feed
ing win be illustrated by different
ingredients which compose a mash
feed. A sample of dry mash hop
per will be on exhibit. The new
poultry house plan will be illustrated
by model. Visit this booth. You
may get information which will
prove helpful and valuable to you.
Don't go home from the fair next
week without stopping att the Pierce
County Guernsey Breeders associa-
tions stand and getting at Guernsey
cheese sandwich, Guernsey ice
cream, drink of golden Guernsey
milk or Guernsey cocktail. Every
thing will be served in a strictly
sanitary method.
Several hundred boy and girl club
members will fill the Club building
to over flowing, but the overflow will
be taken care Of somewhere else on
the grounds. Club members are
taking great deal of pride in their
work and will select their exhibits
with care, and prepare their work
with care. All their entry blanks
will be sent in by Saturday, Sept. IL,
Several boys and girls have already
sent theirs in and their tags will be
made this week. There will be
keen competition in many classes,
but the boys and girls in Club Work
are nthe work to learn and can
meet defeat as we'll as victory.
