(Special) The following officers for the year were seated at the regular meet THE FARMERS BY M. I SON (Farm Editor. The Times) 'i Atkinson Bride i' yr Pat Dolan, commission man from Chicago, is of the opinion that cattle feeders would do well to wait a while before buying their feeder calves.

He told me yesterday that few farmers are paying the present price for their feeders, a fact which he thinks will bring the price down within a couple of months. It hard to buy calves now for less than 12 to 13 cents, and that's more than the average market at Chicago. The range calves have not been brought down out of the hills yet, says Dolan, but within a short time snow and cold weather will force a lot of the ranchers to pet rid of part of their herds. He feels that will be a better time to buy than now, and he definitely advises against buying these calves as things are now. Dolan liked the bunch of heavy cattle that Ray Keppy of Sheridan township has on feed.

Keppy's cattle will weigh better than 1,300 pounds and some of them will beat 1,400. They have been on feed nearly two years and are what Dolan calls prime stuff. He estimated that they might bring around $12.40 on the Chicago market. Opinion seems to be divided among farmers as to whether they want an Increase In the price of milk at the present time. Some of them feel that It Is wise to get every nickel they can for their milk, while others feel that the WITH price Is high enough where It Is.

Elmer Goettsch, Davenport R. R. 1, declares that the present price is just about right and he doesn't want to see an increase. Goettsch says that he is getting close to 50 cents a pound for his butterfat now and that it is costing him not much over 30 cents a pound to produce it. He feels that a price increase will cut consumption, since milk is one of the first items of the household budget that is considered.

Furthermore, Goettsch declares that cost of producing a pound of butterfat has not increased much since the rise in the price of milk last spring and he should know what it costs if records of the Dairy Herd Improvement association mean any thing. A. L. Kruger and son, well known Henry county stockmen, had one of the high selling droves of cattle reported on the mid-week market at Chicago. They had 29 head of Hereford steers, averaging 1,220 pounds that were good enough to sell without sorting at $12.10 a hundred.

Iowa crop and livestock reporters estimate that the average yield of corn in Iowa this year will be about 47.5 bushels per acre. This seems like a fairly close estimate, since it is about five bushels less than last year. The crop in eastern Iowa has been cut, but there are spots that haven't been hurt. In fact, some farmers tell' me that they will have a better crop than they had last year. Courthouse Ws In Clinton County CLINTON, Ia.

Despite the initial setback, prospects for the most successful football season since the introduction of the sport here seven years ago continued to loom brighter, with local grid enthusiasts comparing this year's defeat at the hands of Monticello with last year's slaughter of 33-0.

Weigandt, the former Big Ten star from Wisconsin university, Line Coach Matthew Starcevich, and Assistant Coach Charles Tubbs. Score on Blocked Kick With but five veterans returning to form the nucleus of this year's squad, the locals entered an anticipated one-sided affair yesterday with a fresh spirit, characterized by consistent line plunges on the part of Captain Clarence Hinke and effective tackling by Joe Mohr. Action that resulted in a Monticello victory came in the second quarter when, after the teams had battled to an initial period scoreless tie, Monticello's Phil Snyder blocked Gene Bowman's punt and Bob Buol dropped on the ball in the end zone for the marker. The opponents converted on a Fay Haeussler to Dick Cartano passing combination to close the second quarter activity on the high side of a 7-0 score.

Hoffman Scores Donald Hoffman, stellar Cardinal reserve, brightened the Maquoketa picture in the opening seconds of the third quarter by crossing the chalk-line on an off-tackle for the first tally of the current season. An alert Monticello backfield staged a successful block on Clarence Hinke's place-kick to void the extra point and 'close the scoring. Phil Snyder snatched the honors for the winners, while Hinke ad Mohr rated the outstanding column for Maquoketa.

Your signature is an intensely personal thing, so completely under your control that no one else can have it unless YOU give it. Given wisely, it can add greatly to your well heing.

But, given carelessly, it can cause distress and greater loss than if you allow a thief full access to your possessions. Signed agreements became common in business relations because they serve to lessen misunderstandings. It is unfortunate, but sadly true, ihat many persons sign contracts without reading them, or without first possessing a complete knowledge of their terms. A complete understanding serves to guard against ill-advised undertakings, as well as fraudulent or unfair schemes. DON'T RUSH INTO CONTRACTS "Read Before You Sign and Keep a Copy." If you do not understand certain terms, phrases, or fine print in a contract, delay signing until you have found out what they mean.

Your signature to a contract means that you have agreed to all its terms and provisions. Furthermore, the written document usually speaks for itself, holding participating parties strictly accountable for performances of their mutual promises.
