Wednesday forenoon's session was
opened by selection by the Metre
Grove band. The band also played
during the afternoon session and
their splendid music was responsible
for a great deal of the success of
Wednesdays program.
The annual address of the presi-
dent was made by G. N. Battles of
Metre Grove. He gave account of the
work accomplished the past year and
outlined the aim and purpose Of the
association. Alfred Anderson of
Litchfield gave very intelligent and
instructive talk on mechanical re-
frigeration. H. T. Sondergaard told
l"What Makes the World go Round"
and he went around the world some
to do so.
The afternoon session opened with
an illustrated lecture by County
Agent, P. w. Huntemer at the Lyric
theatre. Slides illustrating the grow
ing of soy beans were shown and the
value of this crop as feed for the
dairy her was explained. Slides of
high producing Guernseys were also
shown. The feature of the lecture
was the reel Of moving pictures taken
at the Holstein sale held at the
Schroeder farm at Moorhead last
year. Among the animals shown
were the $65,000 sire and $4,000
cow sold at this sale.
The session was continued at the
! city hall where James Sorenson, state
dairy and food commissioner gave a
fine address on the creamery and
dairy interest of the state. Mr.. Sor-
enson is a firm believer in co-opera-
tive creameries and attributed the
success of Minnesota as a leading
dairy state to it's cooperative cream
cries. He urged a closer co-opera-
ton between the dairymen and but
ftermakers, and stated that where
both work for the best results, sue
cess is sure to be the reward. The
securing of better dairy cattle, bet
ter dairys barns, better feeding and
delivering of cream in the best con-
dition will all add greatly to the sue
cess of the creamery.
Wednesday afternoons session was
the largest attended of the conven-
ton. A very good turnout of farm
ers from the Melrose, Metre Grove,
0reenwald, Spring Hill, New Munich
and Freeport communities were pres
ent and, the hall was filed, and the
association members were highly
gratified at this splendid showing of
interest in their convention by the
dairymen of this vicinity. About
fifty buttermakers attended the con-
vention.
The election Of officers resulted in
the unanimous reelection of the pre-
