CON TESTING IS SUCCESSFUL Adams County Association Ends First Year In Work; Plan For Future ’ The first year f>f operation of the Adams County Cow Testing Association will end in about three weeks, or about September 25. according to information received Friday from Roy Price, tester employed by the association di/i-ing the present year. Mr. | Price is now engaged in making his i (last monthly visit to members, ob-| taining their monthly (record* and comIpleting all data relative to each herd. 1 1 At the close of the association year, each member will have in his pos-| session a book in which a sheet is devoted to each individual cow, showing her milk, butter fat tost, feed and income records for each month. Tot als for the year will be shown. en-| abling the farmer to know his cows l as he has never been able to know them before, as well as to furnish prospective buyers with proof of the producing ability of cows he wishes to sell. Monthly reports made by Mr. Price show that members have made great progress during the year. Some who have never fed sufficient grain rations have found it is not economical to lim | it tsc milk flow by failing to feed the I cow enough. The heavy producing cow . is now being treated justly by recelv I ing more feed than the “stripper. ; Some members have actually been ab.e to cheapen their rations with greater milk flow, with Mr. Piorce\ assistance.

Two to four ‘boarders’ have received “slaughter house passes" from Mr Price each month of the year. Several purebred cows and heifers have been purchased by members. Regularweighing of milk has been instituted in several cases through his suggestion. The Dairy Feeding School, held at Berne last winter .was put across through the cooperation of the Association. It is expected that one or more similar schools will be held during the coming winter. According to L. M. Busche, countyagent, a few vacancies will occur in the association membership at the end of the association year. It is definitely known that at least one herd will be dispersed while others wish to dis continue because of lack of cows or of disease in the herd. Several farmers who were unable to join last year have already in applications for membership in case vacancies occur. O d members are given first choice for membership Those who wish to apply for member ship are asked to send applications to the county agent's office immediately, since their applications will be taken in the order in which they are found on the waiting list. The new association | It is said an association will K be formed in the part of Adams county if sufficient aplications are received from that quarter.

Coolidge Opposes Income Tax Law Publicity Clause Swhmpscott_ Mass.. Sept. I.— (Unit ed Press.)—The publicity clause of the income tax law. under which the taxes paid by citizens were made public today, interferes with the collec tion of revenue, in the opinion of President Coolidge. The president is unchanged in his attitude of strong opposition to this tax publicity, it was made clear at the summer white house. Mr- Coolidge recommended repeal of the publicity clause in his message to congress last winter and he probably will renew his suggestion this' winter. The publicity, it was said, not only interefered with the collection of revenue, but it actually tended to decrease it, the president has been informed. — - 0 Army Officer Admits Shooting His Sweetheart Bulletin By William R.
