He FARMERS ASKED TO HELP IN RAISING FUNDS FOR FARMERS IN TORNADO DISTRICT The Lake County Farm Bureau has started a drive to raise $2,000, for the relief of the stricken farmers in the 100 mile long tornado district of southern Illinois which covers five counties. The money is to be raised from farmers, whether they belong to the Farm Bureau or not. Every county Farm Bureau in the state is engaged in raising a similar sum. Word has just been received that 49 farmers were killed in White county alone. The loss to farmers in these counties amounts to at least two million dollars. Op to the present time practically all the assistance has gone to city and town people. This of course was badly needed, and&o is the need to help the farmers in that section. It is up to the farmers to come to the aid of the farm folks. All county farmers' institutes art being notified by their state president to cooperate with the Farm Bureau: in collecting funds. The same is true of farm mutuals.

He had a herd of 24 cows a little better than a year ago. He was afraid to feed the milk from these cows to his young children, so was buying two quarts a day from a farmer who had an accredited • herd. This herd of 24 cows was only producing five to six cans of milk per day. The te?t showed most of them tubercular. Mr. Benwell went down to Chicago to see them laughtered and was astonished to see the amount of disease these cattle showed. He immediately cleaned up and disinfected his premises, made a few simple changes to allow more light and ventilation, and bought some more cattle. * v What was the result? He now has a cle#n herd of fourteen milk cows all good ones that he selected himself in Wisconsin. He has received a.s high as eight cans of milk per day. and at all times has never received less than he got from the 24 cows, and he is glad he doesn't have to milk 24 diseased cows tq get the milk. He wouldn't go back to the old way of keeping coWs of doubtful health for any consideration, just ask him about it. Lindon Burris of Waukegan is another case. He lost all of his hejrd of fourteen or fifteen cows in the test. These cows never produced over two cans of milk per day. Now he has a fine herd of as many cows he personally selected in Wisconsin, and averages six >cans per day. Far from being bankrupted he feels that the test and cleanup was one of the best thing? that ever came his way. Bankers no doubt feel it is a safe: proposition to loan money on cattlt that are known to be dean, than to loan on diseased cattle or cows of doubtful health. A neighboring county does not deny the statement that 90 percent of her cows are mortgaged and that over 50 percent of these are T B's, affected with tuberculosis. Where such conditions are true, isn t it about time something was done about it. Is not this condition largely due to the fact that these diseased cows a^e unprofitable to their owners? Instead of fighting progressive efforts to make better conditions for dairymen and; one " * this dread disease from the herds supplying milk to the great city of Chicago. The 5^ce bill which had a hearing last week at Springfield will no doubt! pass this session of the legislature after a few modifications have been agreed on. This bill places the whole tuberculosis eradication program on. i much better basis than it was be-' fore.
