NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW OCTO-
BER S-15.
Will be Held at Minnesota State Fair
Grounds. Special Trains To Be
Run From North Dakota
The editor of the Record was re-
quested to attend meeting held on
Monday at Bismarck at which plans
were laid for interesting farmers of
this community in attending the ma
tional dairy show that is to 'be held
at the Minnesota state fair grounds
from October 9Th to 18th. At the
Bismarck meeting, from this county,
were H. O., Sauer, county agent, l..
H. Harwood, of Temvik, and the Rec
ord man. Max Morgan, of the agri-
cultural college, is in charge of the
campaign to drum up crowd, and
he confidently expects one thousand
North Dakotans to attend the show.
His organization is now busy in arous
ing the enthusiasm among the men
who should attend. Other years the
national dairy show has been held at
eastern points which precluded many
from this state attending. This year,
the show is almost at our front door.
Recent hard times as a result of
crop failures, etc., seem to have i'm
pressed upon our farmers the neces-
sity of getting into dairying if they
are to exist. A large number of En-
mons county men are already busy
building up high grade dairy herds,
and many are deriving considerable
profit. already from such a source.
The national dairy show will be ex-
tremely helpful to the man who is
just getting into the dairy game, or
who realizes he must do so soon. Ev-
erything in the latest dairy efforts
will be made plain to those who at
tend. Ideas that may save many
false steps to the prospective dairy
man, or the man who has just begun,
can be secured at the dairy show.
Many Emmons county farmers are
doing some dairying in haphazard
manner, but not all yet realize the
great advantage of an intelligent
building up of high grade dairy cows.
A trip to this dairy show will no
doubt repay them in dollars and cents
many, many times over.
Every effort is being made to ar
range things so that North Dako-
tans can attend the dairy show at a
minimum of expense. A special train
will be made up at Fargo of tourist
sleepers which will leave for Mime
apolis on Tuesday morning, October
11th. The fare is not yet definitely
fixed, but will be approximately $23.-
so from Fargo and return, plus sleep
er charge and about 40 cents for en-
tertainment features. The sleepers
will be parked near the show grounds
and all passengers will bunk in them
during the stay there at approxi-
mately $1.50 rer night. Church or
CARNATIONS will provide cheap, whole
some meals on the grounds. and it is
believed that man can easily make
the round trip, returning Friday, Oc-
tober 14th, for not to exceed fifty dol
lars. The railroads are allowing one
and one-half fares for the round trip.
1t is believed that at least one thous-
and will go from this state, and prob
ably more. It is hoped that at least
twenty-five farmers from the various
parts Of the county will make the
trip. If they do, the dairy industry
will be given great impetus during
the coming year bv the reports they
will make on their return. and the
ideas they can pass on to their neigh
bors.
H. o. Sa:uer will have charge of
the preliminary arrangements for
Emmons county, and interested per-
sons are requested to communicate
with him for more detailed informa-
tion. Such an excellent chance to at
tend this national dairy show at such
a minimum Of expense should cause
aslarge number to make the trip. The
dairy. industry is growing in North
Dakota, and is one Of the surest
means of prosperity open to North
Dakota farmers. Small grains aren't
turning the trick, and never have.
