Large Group Will Attend Annual of Agricultural Extension
Last year a very large group attended the annual meeting of the Agricultural Extension Asociation. Many really important developments have taken place in the county since that time. It is very evident that the farming industry has made some very definite advances. Every community has been affected.
What has been done to improve the farm income of Potter County farmers? How have marketing facilities been developed? Which improved production practice has proved most profitable? When have those practices been started? Why should improved practices be adopt ed in the county? These questions will be answered next Tuesday, December 6. Farmers who have profited by changed practices and better methods will tell about them. In many ways Potter County leads in agricultural development. Every farmer in Potter County will profit by attending this meeting.
Seed potato production is larger this year than in any previous season. The demand for seed is larger than ever before. Don G. Stearns will report on the extension program for potato improvement and development.
The large areas of pasture land in Potter County are begging for more sheep. What have sheepmen been doing during the year. Roy W. Maurer will tell.
High producing herds of cows have been profitable. What is the system that has improved, herds Paul Gregory will tell about herd improvement. There are many profitable herds in the county, but unfortunately there are many that are not profitable. What is being done about it. You will hear about it next Tuesday.
Good poultrymen have a system of management. The right system of management has made lower costs of production. It has lowered the loss by death.
It increased the production of eggs. Everett Blass will tell of this system.
Part of the farmer's job is economic production of crops and livestock. The other part is economic marketing of those crops and products. The livestock market and the milk markets have been greatly improved during the past year in Potter County.
