PRESIDENT lESSE TUTTLE. HIS FAMILY AND ItJDY 

 **Iudy was escorted to the New York World's Fair." 



>ARLY last month, Jesse E. Tuttle, 

 president of the Crawford Coun- 

 ty Farm Bureau, escorted his 

 nationally famous Guernsey cow, Amos 

 Betty Judy, to the New York Worlds 

 Fair. She is one of 150 prize cows 

 on exhibit in the dairy World of To- 

 morrow where each of the five dairy 

 breeds is represented by 30 head. 



Amos Betty Judy, with a record of 

 9278 pounds of milk and 460 pounds 

 of butterfat in 337 days as a three- 

 year-old on twice a day milking, met 

 all rigid health, type and production 

 requirements set up by the American 

 Guernsey Cattle Club for selecting the 

 finest cows of the breed. She is one 

 of three chosen trom Illinois Guernsey 

 herds. Others are owned by H. C 

 Horneman. Vermilion county, and L. J. 

 Drake, Kendall county. 



Mr. Tuttle's first Guernsey, bought 

 in 1926, is 16 years old. She is an 

 advance registry cow with a record of 

 394.8 pounds of butterfat. The Tuttle 

 herd now numbers 42 head of cows, 

 heifers and calves. The producing herd 

 varies from 12 to 18 head. 



Tuttle cattle have been among the 

 grand champions at Illinois, Indiana 

 and Ohio state fairs, the Dairy Cattle 

 Congress and the National Dairy show 

 several times in the last few years. 

 Tuttle developed the cow that sold for 

 $2600 to top the National Guernsey 



sale at Columbus, Ohio, in 1927. 



Jesse is an 100 per cent Farm Bu- 

 reau cooperator. He has been a di- 

 rector of the Crawford County Farm 

 Bureau for several years; he is a direc- 

 tor of the Illinois Farm Bureau Serum 

 association and vice-president of the Il- 

 linois Guernsey Breeders association. 



Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle have four chil- 

 dren. Frances, 20, and Thelma, 18, 

 are studying at the University of Illi- 

 nois. Norman, 17, and Helen, 15, are 

 in Hutsonville high school. 



Uncle Ab says others may eat solely 



for health, but he still insists on get- 

 ting some fun out of it. 



The Tri County Electric Cooperative, 



Mt. Vernon is getting ready to start 

 building lines, Martin Schaeffer, secre-

Farmers are more susceptible to sun- 

 stroke than they once were, says S. 

 H. McCrory, chief of the Bureau of 

 Agricultural Engineering, USDA. Rea- 

 son : Farmers eat less home-cured, salt 

 meats. 



The salt in the meats maintained 

 the salt content of the blood despite 

 rapid losses of salt through perspira- 

 tion. Cause of sunstroke is lack of suf- 

 ficient salt in the blood. To prevent 

 sunstroke, eat more salt.
