"City folks, and even some farmers,
little realize how prominent the COW
Is in producing farm wealth." said I.
F. Marston, superintendent OF the
Dairy Department of the Michigan
State Fair. -er
Statistics compiled by Sec. VIII.
son of the United States Department
OF Agriculture show that in 1912. dairy
yield was almost staggering In It's
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 for 1912 was only worth
three-quarters as much as was the
dairy wealth. Sec. Wilson estimated
the country's wealth in this respect
In 1912 was sS30.000, 600.

VIII Demonstrate.
"We propose to go into the demon
stration work this year as extensively
as possible. 1t isn't theory the farmer
wants, but actual demonstration of the
results of research and investigation.
We will endeavor to show the dairy.
man the results Of feeding, breeding
and caring in the composition of the
milk. How pasteurized cream will con-
serve butter and make it more health
full to the consumer. BY this, and
other methods, We hope TO educate the
consumer to keener appreciation Of
advanced dairying and be willing &c
pay the additional cost when he sees
the results.
1--WE will have some investigations
and exhibitions Of European cheese
making. How the foreigners get sucl
fine results. For years Americans
have been under the impression that
the best European produced cheeses
cannot be made in America success
fully. This is merely an opinion ano
not a fact. We will have exhibitions
of all sorts of choice cheeses at thu
Michigan State Fair this year tina:
will compare with anything of theii
kind in the world.
Experts in the employ OF the
United States Agricultural stations
throughout the country estimate that
no less than sS,000,000 wac tossed
away last year as the direct result o.
mismanagement of creameries. I'm
proved methods and systems of man.
Pgement will be shown at the Fair
This Will tend to improve quality ae
well as the quantity of the output.
an conclusion might say that
while past dairy exhibits at the Mich
igan Stale Fair have been far. :!on
ordinary, the 1913 exhibition will be
a classic in every detail"
