Tennis Contest-The st. Cloud
and Sank Centre tennis players
met the second time for the sea-
son on Monday and the former
won. The other meeting was at
St. Cloud and Sank Centre carried
off everything. The meeting Mon
day was on the grounds here and
/ the visitors turned the tables.
st. Cloud brought a stronger
team than the one which met Sank
Centre the first time. On the
other hand, two of the players who
had helped uphold Sank Centres
standard on the court, were not
here to play. Wesley Brown left
| two weeks ago and Laurel Kells is
enjoying his honeymoon and giving
no thought to such trivial things
as tennis. Messrs. Julian Dubois
and F. E. Quist took the places of
these gentlemen, and with the
limited amount of practice they
have had, made a good showing.
The visitors arrived at 3 p. m. in
an automobile, hence it was too
late to follow the schedule of
games that had been prepared.
The wind was very bad, which in
terfered with the play to some ex-
tent. The visiting team returned
nome in the eve ming. Two doubles
and two singles were played. The
score: :
Emmel & Erwin VS. Strebel and
Alden: 4-6; 6-2; Ga.

Sunshine and Poison

That there may be truth in the
belief that poisonous desert snakes
are the deadliest is suggested by
reports in Popular Science Month
" of two investigators Of the
French Academy Of Sciences. Aft
er exposure to ultraviolet rays of
light, snake venom, they found, be-
came increasingly fatal. Animals
injected with the poison after 1t
had been exposed to the rays sue
cumbed more quickly than others
on which ordinary snake poison
was used. g

FIGURES SHOW VALUE OF
COW TESTING ASSOCIATION
(By vERN DE TAR)
Farm Advisor

The annual membership campaign
~ the Imperial Comfy Cow Testing
Association opened October 9TH. and
viii continue until enough members
have been secured to fill up the
ibree units of the Cow Testing As
soeiaiion. which are now operating.
During the next two months there
fore. many dairvmen will be asked
10 decide whether they wish to be
members of this association during
the coming year. Perhaps the fol
these dairvmeu to reach a decision.
John Somner, a dairyman living
near Holtville Joined the Cow Test
ing Association in October. 1925
During his first wear of testing his
herd average of production was
24l.0 lbs. Of hutterfat per COW. He
has now completed his third year Of
testing and during this year his
herd average of production was
2s63 lbs OF buttcrfat per COW. lie
has therefore. increased the average
production of his herd 45.3 lbs. but
terfat per COW per year. Since he
had an average Of As COWS in hlS
herd during this year, this means
that his herd produced 2l74 lbs. moro
butterfat this year than they would
have produced if his average pro
duciion had remained the same rs
it was in 1926 when he started test
ing. This represents an increase IN
the total income from his herd OF
s1039.17. 1t has cost Sommer total
of 1851 .6s to test his herd for three
wears. For every dollar spent as
testing fees he has therefore, recelv-
ed S4.12 increase in income from his
dairy herd. Apparently ii has paid
Mr.. Sommmcr TO test his COWS in the
Cow Testing Association. Any
dairvman who would like to JOIN
this association can do SO hy calling
