COW TESTING ASSN.

The past two weeks have beer
spent largely in visiting farms and
che eking up on possibilities OF or.
ganizing a cow testing association
for the county. More than so farms
have been visited and we have ap.
proximately $50 cows for which
the owners have expressed de-
sire to have cow testing associa-
tion work.
Most of these herds are located
around Kennewick and we feel
that by the time we have been
able to visit the remaining farms
near Kennewick, and those at Rich
land. Benton City. Prosser and
White Bluffs, that it should be
possible to organize an association.
Cow testing association work is
the one big essential in real herd
building and this section of the
state needs this work very much.

"A LOT-PLUs = Genrald Campbell

"A LOT-PLUS = GenraId Campbell
Henry Ford has just recently put on the mar
ket new car and before long it will probably
have proftted him a billion or so of dollars.
Eyes," we say, "Henry surely makes his in
vestments pay. A billion dollars is quite sum
of money! And billion dollars is quite sum
of money. A far greater sum than most people
realize. People talk freely about Henry Ford's
billions or about the billions involved in inter-
national loans and war debts but few stop to
think what this number really amounts to.
The only way that can find that comes near
to illustrating the immensely of billion is the
time that it takes to count that far. If person
started counting the instant he was born, by
allowing one second to each count, which would
be impossible when the higher numbers were
days year, he would be able to finish count
ing to billion in little thirty years.
Figure it out for yourself.
