the bulls that were to be sold. After
magnificent basket dinner the pro-
gram opened by W. H. Standish de-
monstrating the score card by act
ually applying the scale of points to
COW owned by Mr.. Spring, the COW

skillful manner.

Association gave a very interesting
talk in which he stated that the
DairynTen had become careless and
gave very little attention on the
marketing of their produce He ad-
vocated separating the cream and
feeding the milk. He also condemned
the public for using O.eomargarine
and other butter substitutes. He ac-
tually proved by the best authority
that the lower animals cnanot live IN
the fats OF Oleomargarine, but will
thrive and grow on butter fat. He
also demonstrated that the Tubercu-
losis among people had been actually
cured, where patients had been put
on a milk diet. Also that the large
percentage of infantile paralysis
among children occurs among chill
dren that do not receive their daily
milk.
Mr.. Howell, Henry County Agent
gave a very interesting and instruc-
tive address. He stated that this is
the very time for the Dairymen to
stay in and get in the Dairy business.
He demonstrated that the man that
is continually changing from one line
of farming to another could not sue
ceed but the Dairyman who stayed
in (bred) (fed) and (sold) would
be the winner. He advised farmers
to all join the organization to future
advance their own interest and also
to spend some money advertising
their product. He also advocated or
ganizing a Boys and Girls "Calf
Club" as a means of interesting our
boys and keeping them on the farm.
He stated that he had just returned
from Chicago by auto where he had
attended The National Dairy Show
and on his trip through Indiana he
saw farm after farm abandoned. He
stated the soil looked black and fur
tile ard on inquiring he found it was
valuable high priced land, but not
being farmed for lack of help. The
boys had gone to South Bend and
Chicago for higher wages.
The next speaker was Mr. Jav
burr who gave very interesting
talk on the Milk Producers Sale Com
pany. Mr.. Burr had just returned
from Chicago attending a meeting
OF Representatives from all parts Of
the United States and he stated that
the object of the Milk Producers
Sale Company was not to form, q
monopoly to form prices and unjust
~ appress the people to consume
our product, but the object was inst
the reverse. Namely to furnish milk
ana butter at small profit, about
actual cost of production. Also the
ASSOCIATION is formed to increase
use OF Dairy product and to dis
courage the use of Oleomargarine
and other inferior articles.
