DAIRY EXHIBIT
TO Be EDUCATIVE
Many Practical Demonstrations
Planned for State Fair BY
Supt. MarstOn

CITY folks, and even some farmers.
little realize how prominent the cow
is In producing farm wealth" said T.
f. Marston, of Bay City, superintend-
ent OF the dairy department OF the
Michigan State Fair on visit to
Detroit today.
Statistics compiled by Secretary
Wilson, OF the United States depart
ment OF agriculture show that in 1912
the dairy yield was almost stagger-
ing in its hugeness, continued Mr..
Marston For instance, the dairy
yield was just twice as valuable as
the oat crop, equal to the hay crop,
while the entire wheat crop for 1912
was worth only three-quarters as
much as was the dairy wealth. Secre-
tary Wilson estimated the country 5
wealth in this respect In 1912 at
$3.50, 100000.
We are already sure of filling the
space allotted to our department at
the fair and | have been attempting
to get General Manager Dickinson to
give some additional room for the
dairy exhibit. Manager Dickinson
fully appreciates the Importance of
this department and will do every
thing possible to secure more compre-
hensive quarters.
I'VE propose 10 go into the demon
Istration work this year as extensively
as possible. II isn't theory the far
mer wants, but actual demonstration
OF the results OF research and investi-
cation. We will endeavor to show
the dairyman the results OF feeding,
breeding and caring In the compost
tion OF the milk; how pasteurized
cream will preserve butter and make
II more healthful TO the consumer. BY
this, and other methods, we hope 10
educate the consumer to keener ap-
probation Of advanced dairying.
1--WE will have some investigation
and exhibitions OF European cheese
making. For years Americans have
been under the impression that the
best European produced cheese can
not be made in America successfully.
This ia merely an opinion and not a
fact We will have exhibitions OF all
sorts OF choice cheese al the Michigan
State Fair this year that will compare
with anything OF their kind In the
world"

that Lind's arrival In Mexico has

And Lind is fully advised. by mes

President Wilson realizes that in
