Radio rain is a new thing-the new
est thing. 1t exists almost entirely for
western Europe and enormously for
France. This is due to the fact that
the Atlantic Ocean is full of water
and that there is such a vast extent
of it..
Almost no radio rain falls in the
United States. To collect these new
rain clouds American broadca sting

TODD COUNTY, KENTUCKY, HAS
WORLDS LARGEST CALF CLUB

The largest calf club in the world
is located in Todd County Kentucky,
for this Club now has an enroll
ment of lis boys and girls who own
1875 registered Jersey calves.
The Todd County Jersey Calf
Club was first organized in 1921,
when six bred heiters were purchas-
ed. The Club enrolment soon in
creased to fifteen, and the following
year twenty-five boys and girls be-
came interested in pure-bred stock.
In 1924 the membership increased to
thirty-eight, and this year lis mem
bers own and care for pure-bred
Jersey heifers under the supervision
of competent and conscientious
leaders.
The 1925 figures are all the more
interesting when it is known that
sixty-five of the heifers were taken
by boys and girls from farms where
registered Jerseys had not been
known before. 1t is also significant
that although a large number of
calves were purchased, all are of
good breeding and type and all were
purchased from Todd County breed
ers.
The Elkton, (Ky) Chamber of
Commerce, The Todd County Farm
Bureau, and the Codd County Jer-
sey Cattle Club all worked to-
gether to promote this great Calf
Calf Club. Plans were made last
December and arrangements were
completed whereby the boys and
girls obtained the heifers for $25 to
$50 under their actual value. Breed
ers further agreed to furnish num-
Der of calves to Club members of
limited means upon payment of one
fourth of the value of the calf, TAX
ing a note on the insured animal for
the balance Individual business
men also agreed to furnish personal
guarantees of payment to the banks.
The plans were well laid and at
the oppOrtune time practically every
breeder, progressive farmer and bus
mess man contributed his part. Ten
adult breeders have undertaken to
supervise and aid twelve Club mem
bers, and careful attention is being
given to feeding, breeding and gen
eral care.
The progressive people Of Todd
County have undertaken a splendid
piece of constructive work and they
are much encouraged over the pros
pect of developing a great Jersey
and dairy center in Todd County.
