'Page 10 IA CROSSE TRIBUNE, La Crosse, Wisconsin Tuesday, January 2, 1951 La Crosse county, in all agricultural phases, continued in a fowl state of security and in-come production in the year of 1950, L. A. Davis, county agent, asserts in his annual report of work up to Oct. 31. He found that dairy farmers, comprising large majority of the farmers of the county, responded very favorably to the new and regulations regarding the state dairy industry, realiz- the necessity of producing a equality product.

Others asso- with the industry, such as haulers and the dairy also co-operated by meeting requirements. In spite of a late and growing season, farmers of the county obtained feed supply, he an excellent reports. The quality and" quantity of the hay especially, good and little spoilage was noted in late hybrid corn varieties, due to the 'favorable drying season during October. Labor Scarce Farm labor remained high and Davis states. Increased -military need for young men and increased wages paid by industry further complicated this situation.

Further difficulties were experienced in securing equipment and materials for machinery, he notes. Grassland farming was stressed considerably in the county during the past year. Working closely with the soil conservation service, Davis arranged a number of indoor meetings, followed demonstrations by in on-the-farm the spring. Further promotion was added by the La Crosse Kiwanis club at Its annual meeting for county farmers, at which 35 entrants in the Wisconsin grassland farming contest were entertained. Seventeen of the entries completed contest requirements and Clarence Johnson, Bangor, was declared county winner.

Conducted Meetings With approximately 25,000 acres in the county planted to Email grains, Davis conducted several meetings for information on new varieties and cultural practices. Grain variety plots, consisting of seven varieties of oats, three of barley and one of wheat, were raised on the Wilbur farm at Mindoro. Continuation of malting barley promotion was reported by Davis. Seven of the 14 entrants in the Wisconsin State Brewers association contest exhibited at the La Crosse fair, Floyd Bupl, West Salem, being judged winner. Later in the season a county meeting and contest for barley growers of the area was held organizations and their benefits.

A new method for testing for Bang's disease, the ABR or ring test, was held in the county last April and May, Davis said. This test is used to supplement the area blood test for the disease conducted every three years, Aids Whiter and summer meetings were arranged by Davis for swine raisers, covering subjects of management and mange control. He also aided members of the Wisconsin Swine ment co-op in checking weights of litters in August. Working jointly with Lyle Molstad of the soil conservation service, Davis took part in several soil conservation meetings and helped select the Tony Kirchner, William Wittmer and Marvin Young farms as county entrants in the Goodyear contest. In March the two men conducted a neighborhood meeting at the Guy Jewett farm to discuss group participation in sou conservation problems.

At a soil conservation co ence for Minnesota and Wisconsin county agents, Davis took part in a panel discussion of the county agent's part in the soil MRS. TOLA STEVENSON Funeral services for Mrs. W.

Davis reports increased production and income on the farms through the adoption of the fertilizing and good management program. The constant effort to combat pest and insect damage was highlighted with a custom sprayer school at West Salem in April. Specialists from the college of agriculture related new methods and demonstrated materials and field checks made in July of corn borer infestations.

Reduced numbers of both corn borers and grasshoppers during the were reported by Davis. Reviews of sales, shows year and youth projects among the Guernsey and Holstein breed organizations illustrated active work by county purebred dairy cattle breeders in promotion of raising better animals. The calf-raising project for 4-H and FFA members, new in the county last year, was effective in promoting 'good livestock breeding, Davis stated.
