The GOpher STATE low Will huNe u
Chance to Show the World What
She Can Do With the Assistance
et the succuIent Meadow Grasses of
the North Star state.
q The liberal inducements which have
been offered Minnesota dairymen by
the Minnesota commissioners of the
Omaha exposition to secure their eX-
hibits for the Minnesota dairy exhibit
has been productive of an already large
entry list.
The state dairy and food depart
ment, the State Dairymen's associa-
ton have co-operated with the Min
nesota commissioners, and, as result,
the success of the dairy exhibit is al
ready assured.
Secretary Wolson, of the United
States department of agriculture, is
a market for American dairy products
in foreign countries. 1t is expected
that people from the European coun-
tries will be much in evidence at the
exposition, and an attractive display
of butter and other dairy products
would advertise the high grade of the
product.
this exposition will be done by the
great commercial scorers of the United
States.
Arrangements of a most satisfactory
nature have been made for the han
ding, transportation and disposition Of
the exhibits. All freight will be paid
by the Minnesota commission. This
inducement alone should insure suffi-
cient entries to guarantee. the success
Of the project. In addition to this,
an expert creamery man has been en-
ployed to receive and care for the eX-
hibits. At the end of the month the
exhibits will be sold, and the amount
realized remitted to the exhibitor.
Special refrigerator facilities have
been arranged for, which will keep the
butter firm. Dairymen have great
faith in the keeping Qualities Of Min
nesota butter, and the Omaha exposi-
tion will certainly submit it to a Sc
we're test through the summer months.
The premium lists are very liberal,
and the Minnesota commission is con-
sidering a further addition in the state
competition.
Send all exhibits care of the Mime
sofa Butter and Cheese company, st.
Paul. Information as to premiums
and dates of transportation will be
gladly furnished by the Minnesota
commissioners headquarters in the Ka-

Creamery outfits were shipped to
Gam Valley, N. D.; Hammond, Wis,
and Horse Shoe Lake, Wis, last week
by F. B. Fargo, & Co., of this city.
Mr.. Frink says there has been a slight
increase in business this week. Mr..
Cornish, of Cornish, Curtiss & Greene,
reports trade in supplies and hand
separators good.
The st. Paul Dairy Reporter the Of
fetal paper of the Minnesota dairy
board of trade, published in ST. Paul
weekly, is one of the most progressive
dairy papers in the Northwest. It's
columns are filled with sound advice
to dairymen, and an excellent weekly
summary of the market.

Robert Crickmore, of the State Dali
rymen's association writes The G o b c
from Owatonna as follows: LAS yet
we have arranged no dates for the
future movements of the crop but we
expect to get out on the road again
the week of the 23d We expect TO de-
vote much Of the time to the encour-
agement of the dairy interest of the
Northwest, as the season for organiz-
ing creameries is nearly over. c. P
SS1hle, Of Owatonna, and myself held
a meeting at Stockton, Mimi, on Sat
urday, where they are trying to Or
ganize creamery. There is no reason
why they should not have one, if they
will only hustle and get a few more

Mr. Crickmore continues: 1.-THE i'm

said Mr.. Crickmore. They receive 1000
pounds of milk per day. President
Gamble and Secretary Hanson are
hustling to make it a success.
The influence of the high price of
wheat is being felt in dairy sections
where the industry is yet young. In
the older dairying sections. dairy pro-
ducts are an Independent COMMODITY.

during the latter part of last week

on, the grass will show in the milk
The backward spring has had a ten
dency to keep the price of butter up
But the season is on in earnest now
and the people of the Northwest and
those abroad fortunate enough to pat
ronlze the Northwestern product will
be treated to very rich yellow pro-
duct.
During the last two weeks the price
OF butter had had rather wide range
Just now it is 8 cents below the figure
of two weeks ago. From 20 cents for
extra creamery, it has fallen to II cents
and will, in all probability, go lower,
A strange coincidence about the hut+er
market is that it is not influenced by
the war, although it has been quite
strong, it has been stimulated by other
causes. The natural supposition would
be that butter would be classed amone
