Federal Government Will Place Man
at Bismarck-Formerly at
Crookston.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 16.-B. H.
Rawl, of Washington, D. c., chief Of
the dairy division of agriculture, stop
ped off in the capital city Friday to
visit with Dairy Commissioner R. F.
Flint. He has been on an extended
tour of the Pacific coast, attending
dairy meetings and looking after the
general dairy business in which the
department is interested, and is en-
route to Washington.
The department is very much in
terested in the dairy industry of North
Dakota and has decided to send one Of
the government Is assistant dairymen
to locate here to render all aid posi-
BILE in the upbuilding Of the dairy
business in this section. Heretofore
the government dairy1nan has been
stationed at Crookston, Mimi, but
Dairy Commissioner Flint has been
trying for long time to have one for
the state capital and success has at
last crowned his efforts.
"There is need for much work
among dairy producers in all the states
from Minnesota west, as they are not
securing the results they should con
sidering the great natural advantages
they possess" said Mr.. Rawl. There
is great field for the dairy bushes.
; in the west.
"I am not posted on local condition:
in the state, but from what have seel
of it there is no question but that i
should develop the dairy interests t.
: large advantage.
"In new country like this tn
great problem is getting good enougl
COWS and herds The wedding out o
the herds, making them better and Sc
curing the best producers is ques
ton of the deepest import to tn
farmers and means greatly increase
profits.
"The fundamental problem back o
e this, however, is that Of arousing tn
interest Of the farmers in dairying an
tc get them to diversity in their farm
ing. In my opinion, the work that wi
e bring this about is to render all tn
t assistance possible to the men who ar
j doing the work, and help make the1
f prominently successful. The dairy d.
G partment of the state should have suf1
J. cient funds to carry on the publicit
il work, and to give information to thos
J. who are only partially successful nov
: elf North Dakota would have SUI
e cessful dairyman in every locality {
" the commonwealth, it would soon b.
Q come great dairy state. Like sowin
v seed on fertile ground, the success {
j. these men would prove an inspiratio
IS to their neighbors and be an added il
- centive to others to start in dairyin'
It 'tThe department is very much il
t terested in dairying in this state, as
d is in all the states, and in the ve1
IL near future will send one of its assis
e ant dairymen to locate in Bismarck
l. co operate with the state dairy con
e missioner, and it anticipates RAP
# growth Of the dairy industry in Mort
IS Dakota in the near future.''
n Mr.. Rawl, as chief of the dairy d
n vision, has over 100 assistant dairyme
% under his supervision. They are sea
tered all1over the states, looking aft
dairy matters. Some are engaged
research work, an dothers are workir
- along educational lines, inculcatin
:. desire among the prospective farr
; ers to take up this pursuit which the
T. know will prove money maker.
