DAIRY COW IMPORTANT FACTOR.
Owe Are Only Now Realizing Import
ance of Greatest Assets.

n. ID. Mum, or ot. faul, Mlnhesota'
vice president Of the National Dairy
Show, spoke before the Rotary Club
OF Columbus, giving some very inter-
esting facts concerning the dairy COW.
Some of these are interesting and |
important enough to merit mention by |
the press. Below follow extracts |
from his speech
without the dairy COW, we cannot
raise children.
without the dairy COW, we cannot
exist as nation.
North America is the principal
territory at present where the dairy
industry has not been crippled TO the
point OF humiliation.
"These three points sum up the ma
,tional. yes. the international need OF
Hhe dairy industry. and warrant me
in saying to the men and women OF
the United States wherever they may
be that the National Dairy Show,
which will be held this year at Colum
4 bus, Ohio, October 1919, is their
show.
"Do you know that there are great
areas In Europe where a man cannot
buy a glass of milk for any money
Every drop they have of the precious
a.,fd AZ ooyaa Cor fha chfldrau And
ethere are areas OF devastated Belgium
and elsewhere that the mortality OF
children Is 80 per cent. Think of It!
The dairy industry OF the United
States has been threatened during the
past year by a number OF serious fac
tors, among them the high cost OF
feed and the lack OF farm labor. 1t
Is the purpose OF the National Dairy
Show to encourage these discouraged
,dairymen to labor on.
There are, in round numbers, in
this country, 23,O0O.O 900 dairy cows and
these produce s9,OO0,OOO,OOO pounds OF
milk. Large as this amount may ap-
pear, It is not sufficient for one full
glass per capita for the population OF
this country per day, when other dairy
products are taken out of the total
supply Consider the large amount OF
milk necessary for child feeding and
ask yourself whether on this extreme
ly narrow margin the dairy industry
OF the United States can be said tc
be safe.
4 Last year, over 10 per cent OF all
food eaten in this country came from
the dairy COW. In addition to this,
the dairy COW Is almost the sole sup
port OF soil fertility on the average
farm. Agriculture would almost dis
appear from the United States within
five years II the dairy COW industry
were annihiiated. AT least, agricul-
;ture would be so seriously crippled
that anything like commercial pros
perity anywhere in the land would b,
out OF the question.
"The National Dairy Show Is goinl
ahead. The National Dairy Show /,
one opportunity to bring the men O
the country and the housewives OF hi,
nation together to give them the bene
ht OF the collective wisdom OF tn,
United States In reference TO the dalr,
COW. Just now dairymen everywher,
are Immensely in need OF encourage
ment. That announcement will b,
most readily expressed and appreciat
ed by an outpourlng Of the public 4
this Dairy Show, where they can lear
from the government experts the plac
of prominence and interest whicl
milk and other dairy products mus
occupy in the dietary OF this nation
Is as people, we are to maintain on
physical and mental efficiency

first glimpse OF him. Tis said he is
rather weak in the upper story, and
for this reason Is kept closely con-
fined in his mansion. How true this
is ! cannot say.
Immediately after disembarking
