The Junior Dairy Herd Improvement Association was reorganized at the beginning of the year with the following ,members as officers: Or- ville Teske, presidentg the committee for equipment: Robert Cluver, Roger Niebuhr and Ivan Wilkening, chairmang the schedule committee: Don Feller and Francis Cluver, chairman. Each boy tests milk from his home herd once every month. He then records the results in a record book and compares them with the results of other members. The F-. F. A. Swine Improvement Association will also be reorganized. This association is for boys with swine projects who wish to improve the growing ability and quality of their animals. The Agriculture Department has added a soil testing laboratory in which soil fertility tests are conducted. Farmers of the community con- sider soil testing a definite advantage when applying fertilizers.
