pAlRvMEN's CONVENTION.
Successful Results Are Being Made in
Arrangement Of Plans.
Dairy Commissioners Flint, secretary
of the North Dakota Dairymen's assO-
cation, says that plans for the eight
eenth annual convention of the North
Dakota Dairymen's association which
is to be held in Mandan, February 10
and 16. are moving towards successful
results.
The commercial organizations OF
that enterprising city. on the west
bank of the Big Muddy are working
narmoniously and enthusiastically IN
order to accomplish results.
The convention will be held in the
opera house, in the basement OF which
the butter exhibits, also those OF mod
lei ''sil6s, dairy farms, farm dairy and
creamery utensils and appliances will
be given free space. This will be a
new feature of our conventions and
one that should prove profitable for
all concerned.
The program will be strong along
both manufacturing and producing
lines and many states are being
drawn on for speakers who can handle
their subjects in a practical way.
The butter scoring will be done on
February IA. All entries should be
On hand by the 18th. O, A. Storvick,
creamery expert located at Albert
Lea, Minn., and Prof. G. l.. Martin OF
North Dakota will be the judges, and
while doing their work will carry on
a school of instruction. This will give
buttermakers and creamery managers
an opportunity to ask and receive d.
rect personal answers to questions
that may be troubling them in their
creamery work. This plan will be pro-
ductive of far greater beneficial re-
suits than can be obtained through
method entry blanks and criticisms
on score cards. 1t is hoped that but
termakers who can only attend one
day will be present on the 14th. The
Northern Pacific Railway company is
Offering fine trophies to the winners
of the highest score in both creamery

premium funds will also be prorated.

omew "Bart"), who will supply an
unusual and greatly pleasing diver
sion from the regular convention pro.

The enthusiasm and practical infor.
nation that goes out from the annual
conventions of the dairymen's asso-
citation is far reaching in its effects
and though without state aid it is en-
titled to and is receiving the moral
support Of increasing numbers of the
best creamery and business men of
the state.
