be grown in North Dakota as we'll, if
not better, than in some of these
states where it has been made so pro-
fitable. If had the time would en-
joy telling you about some Of the
things that have been accomplished in
Wisconsin in dairying. Most Of you
know, no doubt, Of these things al
ready. The rate of permanent de-
velopment of the live stock industry
is going to be determined very large
ly by the rate of development of live
stock men. Many of our farmers do
not want to milk cows, feed pigs, raise
chickens, etc. Some say it takes too
much time, it ties them down too
closely. Others make all sorts of ex-
cuses, that they cannot get help, can
not raise the feed, haven't the money,
or the buildings, or the pasture, ETC.,
but all Of these things can be sue
cessfully overcome by the man who
really wants to be a live stock farm
er.
If this paper has the effect of caus-
ing you to even think of the advan-
tages which live stock farming will
bring to this country, I shall consid-
er my time well spent in preparing it.
