MOVE TO DOUBLE
DAIRY PRODUCTION
Northern Minnesota Farmers Will Be
Given Chance to Trade OF Their
Scrubs for Pure Bred Bulls

Steps which are destined to double
MinnesOta's annual dairy production
making it $40, OOO, 900 instead Of $17O,-
100000, the record of last year, have
been taken by the Minnesota Holstein
Breeders Association.
Pure-bred bulls are to be traded for
scrubs to farmers of Northern Mime
sofa for the purpose of increasing pro-
duction in that part of the state. The
announcement of this remarkable move
to show the farmers how they can
double their earnings was MADE Dy w !.
s. Moscrip, member OF the Northwest
Dairy Development Committee OF IOO,
which succeeded in bringing the Ma
tional Dairy Show to Minnesota Tor
the first time to be held at the Min
nesota Fair grounds Oct. 9Th to 10th.
'"The Minnesota Holstein Breeders
Association has decided to trade pure
bred bulls for scrubs" said Mr.. Mos
Grip. "for the purpose of increasing
dairy production in the northern part
of the state. The county agents are
making survey Of their counties and
informing the farmers of this OppOr-
unity to trade their scrubs for pure
bred sires. The association will accept
a scrub as the first payment for the
pure-bred. '.@,s s.-s
."The scrubs will be assembled at the
nearest shipping point and taken to the
stockyards, where they will be sold, and
the price they bring will be applied as
the initial payment onthe biue.bioodea
stock. The breeders association VIII
carry the rest Of the purchase price Tor
two years without interest.
"The pure-bred bulls that are to De
exchanged for the scrubs will De as
sembled at the National Dairy Show at
the Minnesota Fair Grounds OCTOBER
8th to 18th, where they will be allotted
to the farmers who trade in their
scrubs. -~s.-.
""The cows of Minnesota, averaging
LAG mounds of butter fat, produced
S17O,OOO. 900 for the State last year. In
one county, which holds the record TOR
the United States, the average was l4O
nounds. The minimum yield should be
200 pounds, so it can be readily seen
that the dairy production in this state
conld be doubled by the use OF pure
bred sires.
"rhe National Dairy Show teaches
the use of 400 to 500 pounds OF butter
fat producing cows, so if the message
Of this big agricultural, educational ex-
nosition. bringing together the pest
there is in all branches of the dairy
industry, is properly received, CARRYING
agriculture should in two years time
add another $17O,O000O0 to the buying
power of the state.
'"The county agents Will make !nel l
recommendations to the breeders as,
socaition as to the farmers they nn ll
who appreciate the value of this pure
bred sire campaign, and there Will De a
n,,re-bred at the National Dairy snow
for every scrub turned in.
"Neyer before have the farmers OF
the Northwest had such an opportunity
to improve their condition as Will De
afforded them at this big educational
exposition. The choicest dairy stock IN
the United States will be assembled
there as object lessons in animal per,
lection. The most modern equipment
used in the farm dairy, the creamery,
tho cheese factory and the distribution
nlan will be shown. People from ali
over the United States and many Tor.
eign countries will be present. rms
great show has been brought right TO
our very doors and the farmers OF the
northwest who does not take advantage
of this unprecedented opportunity 10
learn how to improve his stock anu
equipment and thereby increase MS
earnings. will lose chance that never
may be presented to him again.
