COMMUNITY ADV" PLAN
DISAPPROVED BY GAZETTE

Once again, for about the
seventeenth time, the Gazette
has been approached with
Community Building Advertis-
ing scheme. and in accordance
with it's usual policy, has flat
ly refuesd to handle the project.
The publisher gets more than
his regular rate for his adver-
tising which is unfair to his
constituents. In addition the
outsider who comes in to put
across the project, carries out
of town a considerable sum for
the work he has done in selling
the advertising. The advertis-
ing is in most instances of too
general nature to really bene-
fit the advertiser. In the long
run both advertiser and publish
er nav the penalty-only the
promoter profits. This form of
advertising is frowned upon by
many reputable newspapers
throughout the state.

C. I. ASSN. CLOSES
YEARS WORK
A. w. PARK & SON HAVE HIGH
EST PRODUCING HERD IN THE
ASSOCIATION. YEARLY SUM-
MARY OF BREEDS GIVEN.

The Wabasso Cow Testing Asso-
citation which is combination Of the
Redwood Falls and Wabasso dairy
men closed its years work on May 81.
The Association was re-organized
to begin work the fore part of June,
but the tester who had been secured
to do the testing for this year, since
Eugene Guggemos, the competent
tester of last year had retired from
the position, was killed in an auto
mobile accident on his way to Red
wood Falls to take up the work OF
the Association, and there being no
other man available, the Associa-
tion was forced to remain dormant
until July 9Th when Harold Johnson
of st. Paul arrived and took charge
of the Association. E. A. Hanson,
Dairy Specialist, was also present
and assisted the new tester to start
the work. The Association is scat
tered considerably over the west half
of the county, taking in prominent
dairymen in Delhi, Redwood Falls,
Wabasso. Morgan, Clements and San
born.
Manv dairymen have conceived the
wrong idea about the Cow Testing
Association. They consider it as a
contest which is entirely the wrong
conception. The Cow Testing As
sociation is resigned for one purpose
only and that is to assist the dairy
men to study their business down
to the individual production of every
cow from the standpoint Of the pro-
fit basis only. If any of the cows
prove unprofitable and there is a
possibility of making feed changes
that might bring the cow into great
er production, this is recommended
by the tester who has made study
of this work. When the cow is
found to be a poor producer she is
then eliminated and the dairyman
has an opportunity to replace her
with better producing cow thus in
creasing his annual income from the
dairy business. 1t also sets record
for his cows that places upon them
a much greater value than there
would be otherwise.
The record of last years work has
been summed up somewhat as fol-
lows: ~
Average pounds Of milk per COW is
7,427, and 282.B pounds of fat, which
is the average of 1886 heads of cows

MR.. AND MRS. FRANK TRO-
CHILL OF REDWOOD FALLS
MEETS TRAGIC DEATH.

Emil. the twelve year old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd Trochill of Olivia,
died Tuesday morning, June %,
shortly after midnight from the ef-
fects of injuries received in an acci-
dent which occurred Monday after
noon on the Frank Trochill farm in
Henryville near Olivia. Funeral ser
vices were held Thursday morning
from st. Aloysius church in Olivia.
Emil was spending few days with
his uncle on the farm and was de-
lighted with an opportunity to help
with the farm work. He was given
team and cultivator and put to
work blowing corn, job that he had
done on previous occasions. During
the afternoon his aunt brought him
lunch to the field and found him well
and interested in his work. Less than
an hour later. his grandfather, Mr..
Frank Trochill, noticed the team COM
ing on walk toward the house with
no driver in the seat. He went tow
ard the team and on coming up to
them he saw that the boy was caught
in the shovels of the cultivator and
had been dragged across the field, q
considerable distance. One shovel
had caught in the overalls of the boy
and held him fast. He was mcon-
scious when taken from the plow and
remained in that condition until he
passed away some hours later.

led. found the skull badly fractured,
besides other injuries, and advised

FARM PROBLEMS
WILL Be DISCUSSED
COUNTY AGENT SHELDON GIVES
NEWS CONCERNING AGRICUL-
TURAL CONFERENCE TO BE
HELD IN ST. PAUL JULY Hip.

Attention has been called through
the daily press to an agricultural con-
ference of several of the mid-western
states to be held at the St. Paul Aud
itorium Monday and Tuesday, July IL
and IL.
We don't believe that there has
ever been heretofore any event pre-
senting to those who are at all in
terested in the agricultural problems
of the nation here in the northwest,
an opportunity to hear at any one
meeting. as many real authorities up
on farm problems. Undoubtedly, it
will be a long time before there are
again assembled in any city here in
the middle west, as eminent group
of Senators, Representatives, Econ
omists and Agricultural Leaders.
To those who are in any capacity
endowed with the responsibilities of
leadership in the farming commune
ties of Minnesota, the meeting repre-
sents an extraordinary opportunity to
fulfill what is, in sense your duty
and your obligation to those who
look to you for leadership. We refer
to your obligations to be thoroughly
conversant with the best thought of
America on the problems that are be-
ing more and more frequently con-
sidered by the farmers with whom
you work.
Tuesday. July IL is also the occa-
sion of the Farm Crops Day at the
University Farm, St. Paul. On this
occasion the University Experiment
Station is concentrating it's efforts
on extending to the farmers of the
state of Minnesota all the informa-
ton pertaining to experimental work
in progress and that has been COM
pleted at the University Farm. This
will also include going over the farm
and visiting all the experimental
plots pertaining to plant diseases,
plant breeding, recommended vari-
eties of corns as well as the livestock
departments. Visitors are expected
to furnish their own lunch for the
picnic. Coffee and cream is to be
furnished free at the farm. Accom-
modations will be provided under COW
er in case of rain. There have been
unofficial announcements made that
some of the railroad companies plan
to put on special excursion rates for
these two occasions. Anyone ex-
pecting to attend either of these oc-
casions should inquire about special
rates with your depot agent. This is
a wonderful opportunity to combine
business and pleasure and learn a
great deal of the great work that is
going on at our experiment station;
also to attend one of the greatest
agricultural conferences and hear
some of the greatest men of the Unit
ed States as champions for the cause
of agriculture. l will be pleased to
hear from any who plan to attend
either of these events as we are at
tempting to work out delegations for
these meetings.-Lynn Sheldon, coun-
ty agent.
