Dairymen's Association, COmmu-
nicates With the Creameries
Throughout the iStnte-A Big Ex-
hibit OF Butter Already Assured
Creamery Men Are Interested.
A correspondence has been carried on
by Secretary Robert Crickmore, of the
state Dalrymen's association, and the
creamery men of the state during the
week with reference to the Minnesota
| dairy exhibit at the Omaha exposition
| this summer
Mr.. Crickmore has met with flatter-
ing success in his efforts in this direc-
tlon and has already enough prize but
ter promised to make the dairy eXhib-
1t from this state one Of the features
| or the exposition.
The creamery men, with little excep-
| tlon, nave taken hold of the project
with great interest Mr.. Crickmore
| says the exhibit will come fully up to
the standard Of the Topeka exhibit.
The only drawback which has been
experienced by the committee appoint
ed by the Minnesota commissioners is
the matter Of transportation.
! The exposition will be held during
the summer, and necessarily great care
| will have to be taken in transporting
| the butter to retain its scoring quail
| ties
Mr.. Crickmore will be in the city
this week and viii call upon the rail-
road companies to make arrangements
| for a special refrigerator service be-
| tween st. Paul and Omaha just before
the opening of the big show.
Mr.. Crickmore stated that Minnesota
! creamery men need have no hesitancy
| in entering their exhibits, as they
would be fully protected from the at
| mospheric conditions, and great care
would be taken in handling the pack
ages.
| 1t is expected that the state corps Of
dairy organizers will resume the road
on Monday, April 18. Although the
season for opening new creameries- is
| practically over, the corps can do much
to further the dairy interests of the
! state after the farmers have completed
their seeding. 81 -,.e4

yesterday that he thought the build
| ing season this year would be much
| later than usual. He thought there

creameries at the following places
during the past week, Spicer. MINI. !;

| orders. number of orders have been
| received from creameries which are
| making thorough renovationS of their
