Shorthorn Herd in Carpenter. Hairvey Williams and son have Started a pure-bred Shorthorn herd on their farm west of Remington. The foundation sire is a straight Scotch bull secured from the herd of Urban and Ewalt, of Fowler. A Scotch-tonped cow with calf was purchased from Kerlin and Snowberg, of Rockfield. Messrs. Williams state that they have been induced to take up the pure-bred cattle business'by a feeling that good cattle are coming soone ror later on every farm and the sooner the herd is established the better for the farmer. .

made this year whereby phemiums are awarded the best ten ears of each white and yellow corn from each township gives every grower an opportunity to receive recognition for his services. “The exhibit this year is to be strictly educational,” says a member of the show committee. We want'to know the type of corn best adapted to each township and then we want to get back of that and push it.” Mr. C. E. Troyer, of LaFountaine, has be»n secured as judge, .who will grade all corn by the score card method. Corn production is the greatest industry in Jasper county, the crop being produce dthis year being valued at about $3,500,000. It has been demonstrated that a - good corn show is a most’ potent factor in icnreasing interest in this ctop, and all farmers are invited to support this effort by sending in their exhibits. To Control Bovine Tuberculosis. A campaign for the eradication of tuberculosis from the pure bred herds of cattle in Jasper county is being launched by the local Better Farming Association. The services of Dr. W. W. Renter, field veterinarian for the U. S. Department of Agriculture,

have 'been secured. Dr. Renter will test any pure bred herds without cost to the owner. Herds which pass two successful annual tests are “accredited” and animals from them may be shipped interstate without z special testing. Bovie tuberculosis has been a big problem for the cattle breeder in the past and has caused thousands of dollars in losses each year. Its presence may go undetected in untested herds from year to year until the majority of the animals have acquired the disease. ~ . . The movement on foot to eliminate this disease from the herds should have the full support of every breeder. Persons desifhg the test should arrange for it through the County Agent. Livestock Breeders’ Association to Meet. The regular annual meeting of the Jasper County Livestock Breeders’ Association will be-held at the court house Saturday afternoon, December 28th, at 2 o’clock. At that time a report of the progress of the organiza-

tion during the past year will be made, the annual election of officers will be held and plans will be made for the coming year. The secretary reports that the organization has had a remarkably prosperous season. The membership has increased over 300 per cent and the livestock conditions are the best in years.

New Club Organized. A new “Make-Over-Garment” club was started at Center school in Barkley township, Miss Mildred Rush, teacher. The membership consists of three girls and three boys. We are anxious to see how this club progresses. Does Club Work Pay? Contributions to American food resources have been made in large quantities by the boys and girls club work of the extension service. Over 2,000,000 boys and girls are enrolled in these clubs. From reports sent in by a comparatively small proportion of the club members in the North and West, we have for example: 21,736 members of canning clubs reporting 1,569,229 quarts of fresh vegetables, meat and soups canned, 216,501 jars of jellies and jams, and 2,740 pounds of fruits and vegetables dried; 4,376 members of poultry clubs reporting 106,358 chicks hatched and 35,370 dozen eggs produced; 7,382 members of pig clubs reporting 1,797,196 pounds of pork produced from 10,583 animals managed; 5,242 members of bread clubs reported 346,698 loaves of Liberty bread baked; 13,165 members of garment mkaing clubs reporting 92,189 garments and pieces of
