It's surprising the term "greatest" with abandon.

Pictured was a good looking ypUng man with a cherub face looking out over a name that Was terribly similar to James Oornue. m fact, I can't tell any difference. He was doing very good as a dairyman then. The year before his herd average was 4*L pounds. His father, Arthur Cornue, darted the herd twenty-five years before by buying a few purebred animals. In 1930, Jim traded his best ' cow, "Ophelia Pet," who gave 851 pounds fat the year before for a new herd •ire. - • IGDc association went to Milwaukee and rented a large * sign apace on the side of a brewery to put a "Drink Milk" sign?

The 90. per cent parity support under butter isn't keeping the price of butter up says Prof. L. J. Norton, College of Agriculture economist, regardless of the pile the government has on hand. Dairy farmers are prolonging their agony by asking for it, he says. Information to prove his statement says that butter in January, 1953, was only 68.S cents per pound as compared to 79.9 cents a year ago, while eggs which the government stopped supporting two years ago were 45.8 cents per dozen on Jan. 15 as compared to 40.5 .ents a year earlier. As long as everybody knows there is a huge pile of butter stored somewhere ready to be turned loose at any time the price is going to be low. Would you pay "up" for something the government has a huge stock of with the fear that it would turn loose at any moment and depress the market? Salt in the wound would be that the government can take a loss using your hard earn*# tax money to pay for the loss.' Electricity was turned on for the first time last week on a farm within two mUgp of Wood- Stock. Jack Ommttss, sales manager for Pfister Growers, Inc., told our D.H.I.A. group that we had better get busy and sell our butter for what we can get.

"The Extension Service ife financially supported by funds from three sources; federal, State and local. Traditionally, and on the recommendation of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture, it has been the. objectives of those interested in the service to keep these three sources of support0 in approximate equal balance." In the 1951-52 biennium the percentages of support are: federal, 33 per cent; local, 45 per cent; and state, 22 per cent. "County Farm Bureaus and Home Bureaus pay the local share. It is quite apparent that state funds are far below what they should be in such a cooperative enterprise," Shumap said. "On the average, nationally, the extension service is supported to the extent of .2 per cent of the agricultural income," he pointed out. On this basis, Illinois should be spending $3,750,- 000 to support the program. Actually, the 1651-52 budget for, the extension service was $1,729,- 000." Illinois ranked forty-first among the forty-eight states in its level of extension support. ftl 1 Shuman said the lack of financial support from the state has piacejl a tremendous financial harden on the ninety-nine county Farm Bureau organizations in Illinois trying to keep the extension service going with member- Ship dues.
