DAIRY BUILDINGS
FOR The COLLEGE
PRESIDENT cRARBE AND COM
MISSIONER VERY MUCH IN.
EARNEST FOR THE PASSAGE or
THE APPROPRIATION BILL
THAT WILL PERMIT IT.

1T Gems to me that the agricultur-
al college in this city should have a
dairy building, with the full equip
ment also, with a dairy barn and all
that pertains to that business of
Farming" said President Crabbe of
the state dairymen's association this
morning.
There is a bill before the legisla-
ture that If passed will give an APP
preparation for the purpose mention
ed. and when one thinks that we have
to end away to Minnesota and other
places to get our expert butter max
ers and dairy experts it seems to me
that no further argument is needed.
III ever there was a. state that
needed such an equipment it is the
state of North Dakota. We are con-
stantly agitating the idea of raising
cattle for beef and dairy purposes
and the agitation is bearing fruit. but
IT seems to me that one of the best
ways to encourage this would be to
gives the great agricultural college of
the state an equipment in the line
thai the people of the state would be
proud OF. / know what | am talking
about when / say that the dairymen
or the entire state are as a unit in
their desire for such buildings and
they earnestly hope that the legfsla-
lure VIII grant the appropriation and
that the buildings may be erected the
coming season"
Greenwood Makes Statement.
e.. A. Greenwood of Valley City, as
SlStant dairy commissioner was in the
city this morning and to The Forum
said:
i desire to endorse in the most en-
pratlc manner every word that has
been uttered by Mr.. CFabbe. / am a
native of Wisconsin and | want to say
that by reason of the fact that Wis
consln has a separate dairy school
apart from it's agricultural college
that state stands at the front ranks
in n states in the dairy business.
We need such an institution in the
state of North Dakota. Time after
time | have been asked by young men
how they car become expert butter
maker and of course l am compelled
to tell them that there is no place in
the state where they can obtain the
useful information in the art.
The move is one in the right direc-
ton and hope that it will succeed.
l believe that a separate building for
dairy purposes and a good barn where
the stock can be taken care Of is es-
sential to the progress of the state in
cattle raising. If this is done it won't
be long before North Dakota will be
recognized as the leading state of the
northwest in the dairy business.
Il have been On the road in my bus
mess a great deal recently and 1 find
a great improvement in the increase
of stock on the farms of the state.
While some are engaged in raising
beef stock, I want to say that the
great majority are more interested in
the work for dairy purposes.
Let me tell you something: There
Is a banker of Williston who has de-
cided to go in the early spring to the
Isle of Guernsey for the purpose of
securing that breed of stock. He will
bring back with him a herd of TWEEN
ty-four and / understand that he will
place all of them on his section farm
near Courtenay.
Yes, 1 am certain that cattle rails
ing whether for dairy or beef purpose
is sure to be a large business in the
state and that very SOON
