(Doris Gray wn» ub»ent when this picture was taken.) The Junior Class had the honor and responsibility of editing and printing this year’s Tattler’' which meant hard work and dogged persistence to complete it before the deadline. This entire class, with the exception of one. is hard-of-hearing and her lip-reading ability is developed to such a remarkable degree that she does not appear visibly handicapped and maintains a scholarly standing well above the average of her class. To the high school faculty, principal and sponsor we acknowledge grateful thanks for helpful criticism and suggestions offered in the editing of this Tattler.

Page twelve The Tattler Essays Wisconsin, the Dairy State By GLADYS THISTLE WISCONSIN is the greatest dairy state in the union and dairying is the chief industry of Wisconsin. For that reason it is very noticnble in every one of our seventy-one counties. The earliest settlers knew that Wisconsin would make a fine place for dairying. This was shown by a man named J. G. Pickett, who brought ten cows when he came here from Ohio to settle at Lake Mills in 1835. Pickett was responsible for the first cooperative dairy project in Wisconsin, when he succeeded in influencing his neighbors to pool the milk from their few cows with that of his own small herd. With this produce, his wife made butter and cheese which were easily marketed. A man by the name of Rockwell, who lived on a farm near Koshkonong. Jefferson county, received the honor of being the first cheese maker in the year of 1837. Long before 1800 cows were kept for their milk but individual farmers kept only as many cows as they needed to supply milk and butter, and cheese for their families. Although it is true now and was before, many farmers make dairying their principal source of income, yet there are thousands who keep only a few cows to supply milk, butter and cheese for their families. Since many dairy men are interested in dairying, and make their living by it, they dairy men have to take better care of their cattle, need a sanitary place for the herds, have to have no harmful bacteria in it. There are four grades of milk. Factories were built to pasteurize the milk before it is given out to towns, cities, and other states. Dairying has increased much because our state is suitable for it. It has been a dairy state a little over a hundred years. In recent years the factory system has developed rapidly for making butter and cheese. Through thousands of miles of this state of Wisconsin are fine herds of cattle, large sanitary barns, and silos, which make the statement above seem true. There are hundreds of attractive creameries. condenseries and cross-road cheese factories producing quality products known all over the world. There are different breeds of cattle in our state. It is nice that we have so that the farmers can study them to see which breeds give the most milk and which cuttle are the best. The Holstein-Friesinn is one of the oldest breeds of either beef or dairy animals represented in America. The Holstein, as a breed, produce the largest quantities of milk of any of the breeds in America but the milk is low in fat. Ayrshires produce a large quantity of milk. too. but the Jersey and Guernsey give richer milk, and the milk is a yellowish color, which shows that it has more butter fat than any other breed. Since Hoisteins give a greater quantity of solid milk during a year, they produce more pounds of cheese than any other breed and give much more milk for a factory. There are now 3.200.000 dairy cattle in Wisconsin. The Holstein breed is very strong over much of our state, especially in the Southeastern part of our state. Green, Sheboygan. Dodge are all pro-minet cheese counties. They have the highest percentage of Holstein cattle. Guernsey cattle are second in number and are most important in northern and western Wisconsin. Our cattle are sold everywhere. Wisconsin is by far the largest manufacturer of cheese. In 1935 seventy-six percent of all cheese was made in this state. Wisconsin is first in cheese but third in butter production. Some dairy men begin and end their day with lanterns in their hands. They do it because they had to follow nature and because some of the milk must he delivered to city people before breakfast. This makes them whistle contentedly as they are at work. Wisconsin has the finest dairy cattle in the United States. For years the dairy men have been improving their cattle through careful
