fngs and through whose


strumentality new enterprises were brought
here and latent resources developed, too
much praise cannot be bestowed. Through
their energy and perseverance the sessions OF
the Northwestern Dairymen's association
for 1888 and 4 have been held here, bringing
with them incalculable good to the entire
southern part of the state, where the deplor-
able effects of system of exclusive wheat
raising had almost bankrupted its people.
The officers of the Mankato board of trade

President-John c. Noe
First Vice president-F. /. Waters.

bClIEh BOARD TRADE.
As an outgrowth of the two successive an
nual sessions of the Northwestern Dairy
mans association, which has been held in
Mankato, may be mentioned the above
named institution, which is fairly launched
and is the beginning of great things,
it is confidently believed for
the dairying interests of Mankato.
The organization which was effected on
Feb. &c resulted in the following board OF
directors and officers.
DrRECToRs-M. G. Willard, Mankato; A.
P. McKinstry, Winnebago City;C. G. Spauld-
ing; Mapleton; E. C. Huntington, Window {;
j. A. Curryer, Mankato.
OFFICERS NJ. G. Willard, President; J. c.
Noe, Secretary; j. A. Willard, Treasurer.
Wednesday March Goth is to be the first sale
day, after which meetings are to be held each
successive Monday. The vast and growing
importance of the dairying interests Of south
ern Minnesota dictate the employment Of
such agencies as these for the creation
of uniform standard OF dairy
products and the creation of a
name and market for them.
The great benefits derived from the Elgin,
Illinois, Butter board of trade have become
well known and are duly appreciated, aud it
is to be hoped that its offspring now estab-
lished at Mankato may be the means Of just
as much benefit to the section which it will
reach.
