Much Beneficial Publicity Given
Dickinson COunty's Dairy Activity

One of the many agricultural
journals which gave the meeting OF
the Kansas State Dairy association
at Abilene much favorable mention
was the Farmer and Stockman one
of the leading farm papers of the
west, published weekly at Des
Moines, Iowa. ]. Thompson, editor,
was here. The following story, por-
ton of a very good article, and IL
Illustrated by the cuts used, was
printed. Much advantageous public
ity was given Dickinson county and
Abilene:
when the Kansas State Dairy as
ISOLATION held its regular annual
meeting last winter at Manhattan
it was decided to hold two meetings
in different sections of the state
one in the spring and one in the
fall. Owing to the fact that Dickin-
son county dairymen have been I'M
usually active in recent years, and |
because of their marked success in |
building up first class producing |
herds, it was decided to hold the
first meeting at Abilene on May 20.
The second meeting will be held at
some other suitable point in the
state during the first part of Octo
Der. The Abilene meeting was mark
ed with success from start to fin
ish.
1.-THE meeting was presided over
by P. w. Ems of Newton, president
of the Kansas State Dairy associa-
ton. The first speaker on the pro-
gram was Vim. Newlin of Hutchin-
son.
''The next speaker on the program
was Geo. Lenhert, proprietor of the
Milky Farm and a splendid herd of
Holstein cows-half registered and
half grades. The subject was 1.-The
Dickinson County Cow Testing AS
