BOYS, WRESTLING WILL 



MAKE A MAIVOF YOU 



Sure cure for an inferiority complex 

 is the development of wrestling skill, 

 say H. E. Kenney and Glen Law, 

 wrestling coaches at the University of 

 Illinois in their book "Wrestling for 

 High School and College. " 



"We have watched boys who were 

 bashful, backward and lacking in per- 

 sonal confidence, develop into skill- 

 ful wrestlers. We have noted that 

 the development of personality and 

 confidence that goes along with the 

 acquiring of wrestling skill carries over 

 into other phases of life. A boy who 

 has learned to wrestle with the best 

 of men is ready to attack other prob- 

 lems of life with the same fearless- 

 ness and nerve." 



Their book will be a valuable aid 

 for boys who plan to enter the wrest- 

 ling tournament at the Illinois Farm 

 Sports Festival. It contains a variety 

 of techniques and holds, together with 

 tips on training. 



SAVE YOUR MILK SLIPS 



Next to his milk check, the most 

 important piece of paper that a dairy 

 farmer receives is his dealer's milk 

 statement. The statement should give 

 an accurate record of milk deliveries 

 by days, butterfat contents, the prices 

 to apply, gross value, deductions and 

 net amount due the producer. 



Milk statements should be perman- 

 ently filed. They serve four impor- 

 tant purposes. First, to check returns 

 received against milk delivered to see 

 that payment is correct. Second, to pro- 

 vide data to be used in comparing the 

 effect of herd management changes 

 on milk income. Third, to provide 

 a record of dairy income to compare 

 with dairy expense to see if the busi- 

 ness is profitable. Fourth, to serve as 

 legal records of transactions between 

 the buyer and seller that stand as evi- 

 dence in court, should a need for it 

 occur. 



Keep breeding and calving records 

 on your cows in order to know when 

 to dry them up so they will have time 

 to rest and to build up or "overhaul" 

 themselves. 



Hogs hauled more than 40 miles to 



market give best market returns when 

 fed at the market instead of prior to 

 loading at the farm. A tired hog wont 

 eat, so don't fail to get hogs to market 

 early, thereby allowing for a rest pe- 

 riod before feeding.

\ \ INGS and queens of poultry- 

 ^^L-' dom, real blue bloods, will 

 ^__y \_ compete for honors in Cleve- 

 land, Ohio, July 28 to August 7, at 

 the World's Poultry Congress and Ex- 

 position. The Exposition will bring 

 together breeders and experts from 

 several foreign countries. 



One poultryman from the Argentine 

 will arrive a few days ahead of time 

 to study duck raising. Another from 

 the Fiji Islands is traveling that way 

 already. If his boat doesn't hit an 

 iceberg, he'll be home by Thanksgiving. 

 Poultry fanciers from Cuba and Porto 

 Rico where they like their chicken 

 with spurs on are reported coming en 

 masse. A delegation from Palestine 

 is slated to arrive. 



Illinois farmers are boosting the 

 poultry Congress, and with good rea- 

 son. Illinois ranks third in number of 

 chickens with Iowa in the lead and 

 Illinois, Texas and Missouri running 

 about even. Farmers of the state raise 

 35,000,000 chickens a year and sell 

 1,500,000,000 eggs. 



In the United States, farmers have 

 on hand some $300,000,000 worth of 

 chickens that lay $500,000,000 of eggs 

 a year. Added together, these products 

 would buy all the radios, ice cream and 

 cigars produced in U. S. Chickens are 

 similarly important in every country 

 in the world. If you are ever lucky 

 enough to be a world traveler, there's 

 one dish you can get in every country 

 — fresh, hard-boiled eggs. 



FARM SAFETY BOOSTER 

 C. P. O'Kane, DeKalb county, posts a 

 caution sign. Says he: "Our farms are 

 dangerous places on which to work and 

 every (arm should have several posters 

 reminding iolks to be careful." Almost 500 

 safety signs have been placed on farms 

 in the county during the last month as a 

 part of a rural safety campaign. Prise

Livestock gathers much of its own 

 living and generally markets grain at 

 a higher price. 



There is little use in producing crops 

 efficiently if they are to be fed to in- 

 efficient livestock, say Purdue Univer- 

 sity specialists. 



Delay is fatal to good resolutions. 



Enter promptly all transactions in your 

 farm account book.
