Will INSPECT
new SALEM FARM

New Salem, N. D., June "a. - The
New Salem dairy farm inspection will
be held June 80 and July i. Auto trips
will be made to a number of the dairy
farms about New Salem and lectures
will be given on various phases of
dairying.
Success of Dairying.
The farmers about New Salem have
made a success of dairying and have
in this way made this one Of the most
prosperous communities in the state.
These farmers started in the grain
farming business, and about all that
prospered was the mortgage. They
then turned to the cow and she gave
returns that paid off the mortgages,
built good houses and barns and en-
abled these farmers to live in comfort.
Instead of borrowing money, they now
have money out on loans bringing in
interest. This is one Of the best
demonstrations in the state of what
can be done with the COW in making a
community.
Make Inspection.
The object of this dairy farm in
spection is to go right to these farms
and see the herds. the barns, the
homes, the silos, the farms. To see
what these farmers have accomplish
ed, and what they had to do with.
Lectures.
Lectures will also be given on ths
different phases of %dairying, but more
particularly< on the things that will
be seen at the farms.
Special interest.
This meeting will be of special in,
terest and value to the farmers ant
business men of the southwestern par
of the state. The conditions at New
Salem are a good deal the same al
here; what has been done there car
be done in this section. Those whc
make the trip will see what has beer
done and can learn much about how il
was done.
