STATE CONVENTION WILL BIZ
HELD AT MANDAN FEBRUARY
is AND 10.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 15.-R. F.
Flint, secretary of the North Dakota
Dairymens' association was in Mandan
Wednesday in consultation with the Of
icers of the Mandan Commercial club
and other business men with reference,
to arrangements for the state meeting
of dairymen to be held in Mandan on
February Is and 16.
NJ. Flint, with other members Of the,
executive committee, has in prepara-
ton very interesting program. with
speakers who are experts in their line.
Owing to the fact that year Of carly
frost line the past one has emphasized
the need for providing for feed, great
deal Of emphasis is to be put on the
Eile, IN ensilage. This is q problem
that has been solved in Minnesota and
Wisconsin, and two prominent speak.
ers will devote considerable time to this;
subject. A. J. Glover, associate editor
Of Hoard's Dairyman, of Fl. Atkinson,
Wis, will talk on silage, and a. r. Ris.
ser, Federal Dairyman, Of Colorado
Springs, Colo, will discuss the silo..
Dean J. H. Sheppard of the agr;eultu-.
raj college viii talk on corr.
Other prominent speakers will he f.
D. Currier, secretary of the Minnesota
Dairymen's association, o. A. Storvick,,
Of Albert Lea, Mimi, federal creamery
expert, F. D. Merrill of Grafton, E. A..
Greenwood of Marion, and Prof. Wal
dron of Dickinson. W
Prof. Thomas Shaw and probably one
of the representatives of the Northern
Pacific will also be on the program.
On the evening Of the 18th, after q,
'ausical program, to be arranged by
Manian people, Bart, the famous car
toonist of the Minneapolis Journal, will
give a chalk talk This promises to be
a very enjoyabl- part of the CONVECTION
program, for Bart, as q ca1:oonist, mas
won fame, not only in the Uorthwett,.
hut all over the nation.
Another delightful evening is plan
ned for the second night, though as the
program has not been entirely complot-
ed the particular attraction cannot be
announced.
This will prove without question the
largest and most enthusiastic conven-
tion ever planned in Western North Da-
kota. The interest in the dairy has
been increasing every day, and hun
dreds of farmers in this immediate vi
cinity have been buying milch COWS
with every dollar that they can scrape
together. The independence Of the far
mer who has stock, the steady income,
the betterment of his farm, is all 80
noticeable that few farmers in Morton
county or for that matter in Western
North Dakota will within couple of
years not be dependent on the grain
crop.
Every farmer in western North Dako-
ia, and as many in the east as can at
ford it, should be in attendance at this
convention to learn more of dairying.
It will be worth the time and money
spent, with 100 per cent interest added.
