meeting of the County Board. 'iThe initiative step is taken
and now it is le.:t to us, the people of Green an I neighbor-
ing Counties, to stand together and work for same. The
law of 1901 gives the County Board the right to establish
such schools. Five such schools ale already established in
Wisconsin and the present legislature will be presented
with a bill for the establishmnint of four more. We help
to pay for the five already.
I might continue to talk upon this great subject for
hours but timd will not permit it. We have a most ex-
cellent program which will be of great interest and much
profit to all those who attend. I will close by giving you
a few facts of what has been actually accomplished in the
cairy line. About 7 miles north of Monroe there is a
farmer who has 60 acres of land on which he kept 1) cows
last vear, delivered to the factory $1400.00 worth of milk;
a little farther north there is a farmer who was offered
S1000.00 for the privelege to select 4 cows from his herd
he refused. Still farther north there is an 80 acre farm of
which the owner took S4500.0O1 in 19o16.  This man is C.
Scribner of Rosendale. But now let us come right back
home and allow me to read you a few statistics actually
gathered from farmers themselves Ly Fred Marty, Dairy

poor type, fresh March and April, fed timotfhy and clover
hay and mixed corn fodder worth $12.79, giound corn,

a total cost per cow for feed V24.79. Returns from factory
