BTEW I. A. A. LIMESTONE PLAN 



MEETS WITH APPROVAL 



The Agricultural Limestone Commis- 

 sion Plan is now in effect with over 25 

 producing companies that serve Illinois 

 farmers. 



Cooperating limestone companies will 

 pay to the County Farm Bureau quarterly 

 a commission of 10c per ton on all orders 

 placed through the Farm Bureau, pro- 

 vided the order is paid for within 15 

 days from date of invoice. 



To be sure of getting his refund 

 the member should get an order, or pur- 

 chase truck tickets from his Farm Bu- 

 reau office which he will send to the 

 limestone company. 



The names of cooperating limestone 

 companies with order blanks have been 

 supplied County Farm Bureau offices. 



Beef Cow Herd Practical 

 On Rolling Land 



Beef cow herds kept to raise calves 

 seem to be the most practical animals to 

 graze much of the rolling permanent pas- 

 ture land in Illinois, according to E. T. 

 Robbins, livestock extension specialist, 

 University of Illinois. 



Many farmers who do not want to 

 build up a dairy business can handle beef 

 cows satisfactorily. However, they must 

 produce good calves to be successful. 

 This means the use of beef bulls of the 

 best type. 



Beef cattle breeders generally have a 

 correct appraisal of the type which the 

 market demands. They raise bulls which 

 are easy keepers, graze well and get fat 

 at an early age. Farmers who regularly 

 use sires of this type and keep their 

 cows on roughage with very little grain 

 usually make a good income from their 

 cow herds according to Robbins. 



The annual Midwest Farm Bureau 



Training School will be held at Purdue 

 University, Lafayette, Indiana, July 17 

 to 21. 



Margaret Walbridge succeeded Mary 

 Stansifer as home adviser in Adams 

 county recently. 



Margaret Lee Bines, recent U. of L 

 graduate, is the new home adviser in 

 Fulton county. She succeeds Mrs. 

 Maude Hine Nelson. 



Contracts have been let by the AAA 



to photograph 38 Illinois counties 

 from the air. Pictures representing 

 17,970 square miles will be used to 

 check performance under Agricultural 

 Conservation Programs. ^
