In closing his Interview Mr.. Scott
said that he roped today's sale would
be heavier. II is ris fond hope that
Blue Earth county farmers purchase
as many OF the cattle as possible
for he thinks that some day this
will be the banner county of the
state IN the breeding of fBlack and
the enthusiastic boosting of the in,
dustry by the blue Earth county
bankers can not help but bring about
results.

Held Their Smoker
Cattle owners and purchasers to-
gether with many of the business
men OF this city were the guests OF
the Blue Earth County Holstein
held at the Saulpaugh hotel last
night. The meeting was largely at
tended and was presided over by
Herbert Sohre of Good Thunder, one
of the leading Hoistein breeders OF
Blue Earth County.
Mayor w. A Beach delivered the
address OF welcome. and told of his
experiences In breeding Holstein cat
tie on his farm In Nicollet county.
He stated that from an investment OF
$3.50 in two or three Holstein ten
years ago. he had realized $1,000.
Had he been a farmer himself, and
the cattle were better looked after.
he had no doubt but what the profit
would have been still greater. In
closing Mayor Beach urged all farm
ers to go into the raising or pure
bred cattle. for there are greater re-
turns from the dairy cow than any
other animal OF product on the farm.
The response to the address of
advertising manager of the Interna-
tional Harvester company of Amer /.
lea. He, called attention to the fact
that in his travels over the state for
the company he represents, that
where ever dairying was being Car
rded on by the farmers, that credits
were better, and money more plenti-
full. He said that the man with a
good dairy herd has an income that
can be realized every morning. For
that reason there is no more profita-
OF dairying. In the western part Of
the state especially in and about Ba-
laton. the farmers are waking up to
the importance of this industry, and
are taking steps to introduce pure
bred cattle in that part of the state.
Mr.. Farr in closing complimented this
county on its calf club work, for he
said that when the kids become in
terested in the right kind of industry,

will also be interested.
B. ID. Scott, secretary the Mime
sofa State Holstein association, said
that he was very much pleased to
note at yesterday afternoons sale
that most of the buyers were beginS
ners in the game of dairying. This
means that these farmers are wax
ening to the value of keeping, moth
ing but pure bred stock, which give
greater returns for the money invest
ed. Mr.. Scott said thatlnow Is the
he predicts that prices will climb
again.

the dairy industry to the high stan
dard that 1t has reached In Blue Earth

81, 900. 000 This should convince any
one Of the importance Of the indus

to get rid of their scrub cows and
purchase pure breds. NARROW &
Randall were congratulated by the
speaker for the enterprise which they
have shown in the raising OF BLACK

]. G. NARROW of this city in a few
words stated that he was pleased to
see such large turn out at the meet

bred cattle in order to increase but
ter production, and thus increase the
cream and butter check. In closing
he said that it Is safe to state that
the business men Of Mankato are
more interested today in the dairy
industry than the average farmer

good place to extend credit.
