MIN0T BULL WINS SECOND
PLACE IN NATL DAIRY SHOW

Rex of Minot, Guernsey bull, bred
and raised on the Person stock farm,
just west of this city, has been award
ed second place in three-year-old
Guernsey bulls at the National Stock
Show, now being held in St. Paul.
Major Person knew that he had a
fine animal in Rex of Minot, but when
he shipped the animal to st. Paul
last week to enter him in the show,
had no idea that Rex was going to
take second place among all Of the
Guernsey bulls of the United States
in his class.
Major Person has bred up one of
the very finest herds of Guernsey cat
tie in the United States at his stock
farm and he has other animals in
his herd equally as good if not bet
ter than Rex of Minot.
This animal has just been sold to
a Bellingham, Wash. breeder.
George Eckert, Foxholm, N. D. lad,
who won trip to the National Dairy
Show, given by the Ward County
Breeders Association, for making the
best showing with his Guernsey calf
in the Ward County Boys Calf Club,
was paid a very high tribute by the
president of the National Guernsey
Breeders Association at banquet
held at the Radisson hotel in Mime
apolis.
Representatives from Ward county
and other sections Of the northwest
ern part Of the state, left Minot Mon
day afternoon on No. 2, for the show,
meeting the other delegates at Far
30. They arrived in the cities early
the following morning.

The North Dakota cattle exhibited
at the show have won much favorable
comment. They are much stronger
and larger than the cattle from the
eastern states, this cline being par
ticularly favorable for the develop
ment Of hardy breeds. North Dakota
has firmly established herself as q
dairy state, Farmers have had their
eyes opened by the wonderful display
Of milking and other dairy machinery
and they are coming back to our state
determined to 60 into dairying strong
er than ever.
If the National dairy show stole
all this educational program from the
evening up, for the North Dakota
delegation came to the twin cities yes
terday and took the "up-stage" posi-
tion entirely away from Minneapolis.
Yesterday was supposed to be Mime
apolis day, at the show but the North
Dakota delegation, streaming into the
grounds by the hundreds, each wear
ing big red badge, bearing the North
Dakota label, were so prominent in
the doings that even the Twin City
press conceded that it was much more
a North Dakota day than Minneapolis.
The North Dakotans were accom-
panied by the famous "Nut" quartet
from Mandan and to say that this or
ganization made hit is putting it
mildly. They almost created a riot
with some of their song hits, extolling
the dairy COW, and the crowds taxed
even their generous responses to the
limit.
The only team that North Dakota
has entered in any contest at the Ma
tion Dairy show was the one which
made such sweeping victory in the
Boys and Girls club work contest
This victory is still one of the big
topics here. It was one Of the most
decisive and clean cut victories that
has ever been recorded in a judging
contest according to experts who have
