With increasing rentals and val
Nes of farm lands, dairy farming is
rapidly replacing other types of
live stock farming. A dairy cow
producing 5000 pounds of milk
year furnishes 1000 pounds of dry
matter, all of which is edible and
digestible. A two year old steer
weighing between 1900 and 1900
pounds furnishes about $50 pounds
of dry matter, not all of which can
be used for food. m other words a

furnishes twice as much edible dry
matter in one year as a good two

The United States consumption of
milk per capita has increased from
AZ gallons of whole milk in 1918
10 more than 81 gallons in 1925.
With growing acceptance OF milk
as a food has come an increasing

BOY SHOT IN KNEE

Elmer Plesner, the 11-12 year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Knud
Plesner, was wounded from the
bullet of a 20 rifle in his knee
last Sunday forenoon. He had
gone out to shoot rabbits and be-
ing proud of his new gun went to
the home of his uncle, Niels, Ser
ritslev, to show it. While he and
his cousin, Peter Serritslev, were
looking over the gun it was in
some manner accidentally dis
charged, the bullet entering FL
mer's left leg above the knee and
went through the flesh, coming
out below the knee. The bone
was not injured. Likely he will
be alright in another two weeks.
It was a narrow escape from ser
ious injury.

The evening meeting will open

at about 1000. The program will
consist of a set of slides, two
reels of motion pictures, a de-

the program is worth while may
contribute.

The wrestling match between

Billy secured the first fall in less

Our WASHINGTON Letter

Washington, Dec. g.. With a
goodly number of senators and
congressman in town ready for
the opening of the 69th Congress
next week, Washington is won
dering whether the best laid
plans of men will fall flat. When
official Washington concerns it
self over problem there is gen
orally real cause in which the
Imagination does not figure too
prominently.
The question of partisanship
comes up with the annual label
ing of regulars" and "insur-
gents. The leaders are not any
too sanguine as to the outlook
for early legislative measures
and for that reason they are
watching their steps. There has
been some talk about forcing
through the tax bill in the House
before assigning members OF
Congress to committees for the
new session. The idea back of
this proposal is to keep unruly
members Of the two major par
ties in line on this important
question. With the threat to
having their ambitions for inn
portant committee posts thwart-
ed, those inclined to play up
their personalities rather than
hold to partisan lines will think
twice before so doing.
The question as to the effec-
tiveness of the party caucus or
conference has also cropped up.
There is a tendency to exclude
those whose party fealty is ques-
toned. These nsen are judged on
their past performances through
their alliances with so-called IRA
deals. This applies more to the
Republican side than to the Dem
ocratic for the splits in the for
mer have been more pronounced
in recent years. ..s
For instance there is a tenden-
cy on the part of those whose
party feelings are uppermost to
administer punishment to mem
bers who aligned themselves with
LaFollette. However, it is quite
likely that the more experienced
