Fair
Sept. 11th, 1920

Many dairymen here have in
late years been much interested
in finding out which of the two
breeds of cattlc--Guernscy and
Holstein ARE best adapted TO
this vicinity.
Back in 1907 during the early
days Of this colony a meeting was
held by the few farmers here to
unite on the raising of one breed
Of cattle and thus have more uni
formIty in stock raising. The
same question was also discussed
as regards hogs and potatoes.
The decision on potatoes was
Carmen No. 3 and it must have
been a good one as nearly every
one stuck to it. However the
name Of the underground fruit
has since changed to Green
Mountain so a mistake was pro-
badly made in the name.
As for hogs Duroc Jerseys
were the ones decided upon.
After conference with A. J..
Mcclure, at that time director Of
the Eastern Minnesota Expert
mental Station, Guernseys was
the breed Of cattle settled upon.
Guernscys have however not
held the predominating place in
this community as Holsteins have
gradually been worked in when
now there are about an equal
number Of each. After the farm
ers get more land under cultiva-
tion and get more time to at
tend to cattle instead Of fumb-
ling stones they will naturally 90
more into the breeding of high
grade stock and will then per-
haps prefer Guernseys on ac-
count Of the richer milk from
this breed.
Committees at the fair are en-
deavoring TO secure the best from
each breed in the community to
be shown at the fair. Be there
and Judge for yourself.

tions of the state where very
little honey is produced. and or
