AGRICULTURAL NOTES
BY IL. C.. SeyIorth.

The combined annual cow testing
association report in Pierce county is
proving to be very popular, as we
have had requests for this publica-
ton from dairymen and cow testers
from thirteen different states, and
every person receiving copy con
siders the publication very valuable
one. Inquiries from the following
states have come to this office for
the bulletin: Geogria, Missouri,
| Montana, Minnesota, Pennsylvania,
Iowa, Idaho, South Dakota, Illinois,
Michigan, Maryland, California and
Wisconsin. We have number of
copies of this report at the office and
anyone interested in dairying in the
county, and who has not looked over
this publication, would find it well
worth their time to spend some eve
ming reading the information on
dairying in Pierce county, that this
publication contains. A copy will be
sent on request
If you plan to use any pyrotol for
blowing stumps or breaking rock
this coming spring it is we'll TO place
the order before March j, otherwise
shipments will be delayed and will
not be delivered until late in the
spring. We would like to have an
other car shipped into the county but
must have enough orders placed early
| to guarantee this, For small ship
ments local freight will have to be
paid by the purchaser. Now is the
time to order the explosive.

If you plan to ship in any lime
stone, now is the time to do this, as
orders can be taken care of more
rapidly now than later on. If you
are not sure whether or not you
need the limestone, bring or send q
small sample to the office and it viii
be tested for you free of charge. A
sample consists of small cupful Of
soil taken two or three inches below
the surface of the soil.
twenty-five farmers in the county
used the College of Agriculture
Farm Record Books in 1925 to keep
track of their business. A number
of farmers have used these for the
past four years and are very well
satisfied with them. They are SIM
pie and easy to keep. 1926 is going
to be a good time to start keeping ac-
count of your farm business and find
