devoted to displaying dairy appliances
and machinery. Arrangements will be

Missouri dairymen should not fail to
exhibit a full line of dairy products at
the st. Louis fair, not only in competi-
ton for premiums offered especially
for Missouri products, but in competi-
ton with the world. Why should our
state longer remain In the background
in this field of industry when it is ac-
knowledged by all who are acquainted
with the facts in the case, that no
state in the Union possesses better nat
ural advantages for dairying than does
Missouri. We admit that as a state we
are far behind others in the develop
ment of the dairy industry, yet there is
butter and cheese made in the state
that will compare well with goods
made anywhere. We only need to make
this and the fact that dairying can be
made profitable known to the world to
greatly hasten the development of the
dairy industry in Missouri.
