BUTTERMAKERS
GET STATE CUP
LARGE NUMBER OF NORTH DA.
koTANS ATTENDED MA
TIoNAL DAIRY SHOW AT
CHICAGO.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 4.-Dairy
Commissioner Flint and Assistant
Dairy Commissioner Pierce returned
Tuesday evening from Chicago where
they attended the National Dairy
show and Creamery Buttermakers
convention.
When asked what the dairy show
was like, Mr.. Flint said: If you can
conceive 42s Of the best individual
animals of six breeds Of dairy cattle
assembled from a territory extending
from New Hampshire to Colorado
Minnesota to Kentucky, all the uten-
sis used in connection with stabling
and caring for them, feed and ma
chinery; dairy products, including
some over 500 tubs of creamery butter
entered in competition, cheese of
every variety from all over the world
machinery for handling, storing, and
manufacturing it, and then add to this
one way or another with the dairy in
terests in attendance, and you can get
a partial idea of what the National
Dairy show was like.
Those who are accustomed to think
of the dairy industry as demonstrated
by few scrub cows, or roll of but
ter, woufd( if they had seen it, have
received an awakening that would
sPrt some new thoughts. The nearest
/ can get to explaining it in a few
words is to say that it was a magnifi-
cent impression of the interest and
energy expended in the dairy business.
"There were quite a number of
North Dakota people there, each
studying some particular line or lines
in which they were interested. Far
mers took great interest in the silos
and ensilage machinery, and the
stock, creamery men naturally were
looking up machinery in their line
and getting new ideas of handling the
product they manufacture. Thirteen
head of pure bred Holstein cattle were
purchased near Chicago by two farm
ers, eight head go to Glen Ullin, and
five to Dickinson.
MANY conventions were held by
different dairy interests in connection
with the show and some of the best
speakers in their respective lines in
the nation were present,
I'm the competitive creamery butt
ter contest the North Dakota butter
makers made an excellent showing.
For the first time they bring home
state cup The state cups go to the
highest scoring buttermaker Of any
state having ten or more entries of
high grade butter This is undoubted-
ly concrete demonstration Of the
good results of the educational but
ter contest that was conducted the
past summer by the dairy department..

"A keen interest in the dairy de-
velopment of North Dakota is shown
by persons in the older dairy states.
We have been heavy buyers OF pure
bred dairy stock during the past few
years and naturally breeders are in
terested. Those handling equipment
for bars, silos, etc, and persons look
ing for location for creameriea, as
well as farm dairymen, look to our
state as the land OF opportunity If
we can hold this interest there will
be some great development along
dairy lines in the near future
