Last week one night the extension committee of the Farm Bureau met to plan the program for the farm advisers for the new year beginning Nov. 1. I asked the question, "Should we include anything in the prdkram to provide for the man whom we apparently don't reach with the extension program?" The opinion was a unanimous "No". It was expfained by one of the members of the committee that education is a self feed process. Curiosity is the most efficient teacher known. If Mr. Farmer has curiosity about a subject he will try to find about it and he may or he may not come to the farm adviser to satisfy it. H. R. Brunnemeief, district supervisor for the college for thfe north third of the state had much praise for the McHenry county extension publicity program. He stated that the college regarded it as the best in the state. It was nice of him to say that but I wonder if he "tells that to all the girls". We do hope 1ve reach many people through this medium that we do not know and are not aware of their readership. Certainly the shirtsleeve English" that is used in this column must have its appeal because about everybody I see says they read it. That puts me to worrviug whether there is anything worthwhile said in it. The program for the year includes eleven winter meetings for all the veterans in "on the job" training classes in the county. I am told ours is the only county in the state that makes this type of meeting available to veterans. Farm and Home Day will be held again this year on Jan. 2f» in cooperation with the Home Bureau. Paul Johnson, editor of Prairie Farmer, has been invited to be the speaker for th« general session. Agricultural topics* for the day include the bangs program, dairy farmers outlook, protein and antibiotic feed discussion and a session on . poultry and t/e new egg law. Other headings in the year's program include 4-H club, the largest single project so far a« time is concerned; rural youth; i forage management; soil management, which includes soil testing; D. H. I. A.; livestock feeding and management; economic outlook and the bangs program. There is one thing I would like for someone to tell me and that is where does all the time go everyday It seems like the forenoon is about an hour long. (Nope! that ain't the 'answer. I get hete bright and early.) The reason 1 don't like it is that old age will arrive so much sooner. They say, though, it's the life you add to your years and not the years yda add to your life that counts. ' A new experiment has been completed; feeding sawdust to laying hens. They have had a Very effecient production of knot holes as a result. This information is made available to you by your blockhead reporter. Seriously, two flocks' of 450 birds were compared; with one netting $700 more profit for the year. The two chief factors were the more profitable flock Was a pullet flock and the pullets were hatched very early, in Kentucky, pullets yielded 172 eggs per year and in their second year they fell to 122 eggs. One can see that if it took 120 eggs to keep a bird you would have two eggs profit in one case and seventy in the other. They found pullets had a mortality of 12.3 percent and hens 20.6 percent. Fertility of the efgs and livability of the ..next generation was all in favor of the pullets. T. B. seems to be the big killer of ofd hens. Ridlin and Broadbent, poultry specialists from the college, plan on doing a survey in the county previous to their appearance on our Farm and Home Day program. TWICE TOLD TALES FOKTY TEARS AtiO Butter was declared firm at 32 cents on the Elginboard of trade monday. According to the predictions of old timers, we will see very little snow this winter.

WISCONSIN BURGLARY In a daring pre-dawn robbery Monday morning of last week, three burglars broke into the new IGA grocery store on Williams street in Lake Geneva, backed their stolen car up to the main entrance and hauled away a 400- pound safe. The entire incident took less than fifteen minutes, according to an eye witness, and happened between 4:30 and 4:45 p.m. The safe was found empty and abandoned in a field on the Vincent Curran farm about three and a half miles north-east of Lake Geneva.

It has a Way with Women SOMETIMES we think that too little attention is given to the fair sex in automobile advertising. After all, it's the woman of the house who has to do most of the shopping, which involves getting into tight places at the curb. And it's surprising what tight spots a Buick can fit into at a turn of the wheel. It's the woman who likes complete freedom from things that it takes an engineer to operate --and a mechanical complications is what makes Dynaflow Drive* such a joy. ' ' 7 It's the woman who has an eye for style and fine fabrics -- and a nose for economy. On both couftts, H Buick is tops. But we suspect something else.We suspect that a woman gets just as great a lift as a man from commanding this great-powered and trigger-quick bundle of vitality to bow to her will. heart -- by its level-gaited stride -- its willing response to her hand on the wheel--its smart style and its smart performance--its spacious* ness and comfort-- and its thrift. How about taking time off, some afternoon soon, to boss around a Buick? It's a date that's bound to thrill you. f r y * , a c d m o r t t M , f l ' i w mtdtlstrt mkjtt to rlaflit witkwi< e>. *.SMariartf * KQADMAtrUt. •?*•••t at mtrm mm •« 1 oitm: &rtM.
