they should have confidence in and
stand Loyalty back of their creameries
and shipping associations. He insisted
that the farmers were too suspicious
one with another, and that the very
best results would not be obtained un-
til they understood each other better
and had more confidence in each other.
DR.. j. A. Dubois made an interest
ing talk in which he complimented the
buttermakers and dairymen upon their
splendid work of development. He
said the cow was the very best friend
of the human family and that she
should be encouraged and developed.
He said that he believed in practical
education but did not take a great
deal of stock in some of the educa-
tional fads which have been promul-
gated in later years.
S. Gustafson, an expert for the Min
nesota Dairy and Food Department,
delivered very interesting talk on
Quality" The point was brought out
that the farmers were losing large
sums of money each year because of
poor quality. The farmer producing
high grade and sanitary cream has his
quality lowered because his neighbor
delivers poor, unsanitary and sour
cream to the creamery. The cream
should be graded carefully and the
man bringing in poor product penal
lied by receiving lower price.
