THE DAIRY INDUSTRY
ACTIVITIES IN THAT LINE SHOW
YEARLY INCREASE.
Quality of North Dakota Dairy Prod.
ucts Cannot Be Excelled in Any
Part of Country.

An industry that is fast coming in.
to its own in North Dakota is that of
dairying. Already the North Dakota
creamery product is recognized in the
eastern markets as a formidable rival
OF the best brands Of the great but.
ter-making corporations, and the
North Dakota housewife knows moth
ing but butter and cream whose quail
ity is of a uniformly high grade.
This year there are 230,337 mich
COWS in the state. There are nearly
one hundred creameries in the state
and many others will be rapidly added
as the special fitness of the soil and
climate comes to be more fully recog.
nized. The more extended use of the
silo and the now thoroughly demon
be %profltably planted and matured
have both given additional stimulus
to the dairy industry which promises
in the near future to be N of the
most important i'll the state.

pervising power Of the authorities so
that the public can be protected the
more thoroughly from unsanitary
methods of the manufacture and han
ding of milk and cream These laws
are being actively enforced with
most gratifying results.
Nearly 10000, 900 pounds of butter
were made in North Dakota families
in 1914. In the same year farmers
sold the creameries 13,462, 900 pounds
Of cream and milk receiving therefor

Dairy Production.
The comparative statement of North
Dakota dairy production between the
years of 1910 and 1915 gives further
evidence Of the steady and constant
growth of the state in this line of
agricultural endeavor:

and acreage, is the marked tendency
during the past few years, to abandon
the exclusive one Or two-crop method
Of farming in favor of a scientific ro-
tation Of crops, and the maintenance
on the farm of the proper number Of
farm animals, such as horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs.
Good EARNING, good methods of cul-
tivation, intelligent tillage of the soil,
Is the slogan in North Dakota. The
fact has been demonstrated beyond
any reasonable doubt that the yields
of the various grains can b. greatly
increased and often doubled by the in
telligent cultivation of the soil, not
only increased in amount but rendered
sure.
1t is now a demonstrated fact that
corn and alfalfa a be successfully
grown in every part Of North Dakota,
thus enabling farmers to take advan-
tage Of these valuable crops in their
rotation, and also maintain the ami
mails that thrive on the hay, grain,
and ensilage thus procurable. These
conditions have also Resulted in a
most remarkable increase in the dairy
ing industry in the past few years, and
at the rate at which purebred and
high-grade dairy stock is being
brought into the state, and the large
number of silos being erected annual
ly, all point to the time in the near
future when this industry will rival
In volume that OF many Of the older
established dairy states Of the Union.
The agricultural college of North
Dakota and its various substations
and demonstration farms are making

the farmers the best and most ap.

the people of the Pacific slope that all sections of the country should be ani- mated by common interest. They pur- posed bringing message of this kind to Denver. They are returning now with a message of another kind. They are prepared to let the people of the east know what the revelation of the prosper ity and the influence of Colorado and the relation of that state to other states has been to them. A. B. Leach. who has been president of the Investment Bank CTS association, was quoted as having said, immediately after the convention adjourned, that the meeting was the most successful in the history of the associa- tion for two reasons: First, because the members of the association had oppor tunity to gain personal knowledge of the industrial. commercial and mining actyi- ties which are so great in Colorado, and, second. because they have had opportuni- ties for personal and neighborly associa- tion in an informal way with the bank CTS and the business men of Denver.
 These experiences, MT. Leach stated, would be related to their friends in the east upon their return.
 Louis B. Franklin, who was elected president of the association succeeding MT. Leach, was so amazed by what he saw and heard that he could hardly find words in which to express his sense of the wonders or COlOrado. MT. Leach wa $ able more fully to express his view. say ing that the investment bankers from the east would go back with new and full appreciation of the manner in which western men contemplate their opportun- ities and activities in a great way; why the spirit of optimism characterizes the western men and why the reasons are not to be gainsaid for confidence that much of the prosperity now near at hand which this country is to experience will be due to the great impulses and work which characterize the men of the west
 Some of those who have been carefully observing conditions of the present time throughout the country are rejoiced to report that the indications are many that the spirit of antagonsm and the sec ttonah irritations, the lurking jealousies which heretofore have prevailed are pass ing away. The east is beginning to have a much better understanding of the spirit and purposes of the west. especially the great west, which is beyond the Missouri and that is also true of the section of the country in respect to the east. This view is held by the investment bankers who attended the Denver meeting.
 It seems to be the opinion of some of the leaders of the financial district that the nation wide participation in the uneA- ampled loan which we are to make to Great Britain and to France will tend to stimulate the spirit of cooperation and to put an end to the sectional irrltatiors which all the leaders believe have done so much to prevent the progress and na- tional development which we ought to have obtained in the last 25 years.

Lordon. September 10.-The only exports in bulk which are going through unim- peded to Germany nowadays are sent from the warehouses of the British and Foreign Bible society. and consist of Testaments Psalm books and portions of the Gospels. Over a million books of this character have been thus shipped since the beginning of the war. The so- ciety Is supplying scriptural reading to all the nations at war.
 This. of course. is quite apart from the normal work of the society. The past year has been the busiest in It's long his- tcry. During August the export included over $50 cases. weighing 70 tons.
