Des Nfo!nes, Aug. S.-In an address
before the natioaa!! convention of food
and dairy commissioners al Berkeley.
Cal. today, W. B. Barney, Iowa COM
missioner, declared that dairying VIII
never be overdoue on the American
farm. Dairymeu. however, should in
crease the ouIpu. Of their products by
advertising and aggressive promotion
he declared.
we frequently md people who
claim the dairy business is going 70
be oyerdone," said Commissioner
Barney, but there are several reasons
why this may not happen. IN the first
place there Is just enough oruogeES
about il so that many VIII not lake Il
ip on that account. We know that
milk ana dairy products are relatively
cheaper than any other human 1000.
OF this. the average citizen IS nor
aware. / think we as commissioners
should so far as possible disseminate
this knowledge. If the Gai-yUlen o.
this country had used one-halt OF the
money advertising their products that
has been spent by the people putIas
cereal products on The market the
sale of dairy products would De IL
creased % per cent.
Thru the nigh class dairy cow re
have the best means OF marketing the
crops raised on high priced lands ana
at the same time conserve the fertility
of the soil, which from now on IS GO
ing TO be a most important factor,
especially in the older sections Of our
country.
I'VE believe that we as commits
sionerS and Representatives OF the
various states OF this great nation are,
or will soon be confronted with the
problem Of how we may at least do our
part in placing on the tables Of this
country a daily ration at minimum
cost It is my idea that when this IS
all worked cut dairy products viii APP
pear on the menu oftener than they
have
He said that success in dairy work
depended entirely upon the old COW.
She Is the keystone 70 the entire super
structure.
I'VE know from statistics" he con-
tinued, that the average cow is not
sielding a profit TO the farmer. That
is, If she were charged with her feec
and labor and credited with her product
she would show little If any, profit.
Better COWS anc more intelligent feed-
ing would change all this. The dairy
work over great share OF our coun-
try Is considered fco much as side
line and does not receive the a.ren-
tom that it shodl1 for its proper de-
velopment."
Now that such a large territory IN
Iowa is dry all kinds of so-called soft
drinks are being put on the market and
scarcely a week passes but what In
auiries come into the office Of the at
torney general as 10 whether uT 1ct
such and such drink contains al
cnhol and whether or not II is legal 20
sell It AS a matter Of fact drinks
which contain even small per cent q
alcohol come under the ban Of the Law.
Many Of these drinks in question
have been sent in for analysis. One
sent IN recetly contained 80. per
cent alcohol which is almost rs much
as beer as that beverage contains 4
per cent alcohol
The Iowa State Bankers Associa-
ton here has received word that q
man who has been signing his name
George C. Bell has been forging checks
in this state recently. He claims to
be working for the Pen Mar Distill:ng
Company, Waynesboro, Pa, and he has
passed several checks IN which this
company's name has been forged. The
Pennsylvania company says that no
such man is in their employ.
