The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1921-09-15

educational, scientific agencies in the
state are doing for dairy development.
The State of Minnesota will show
what the Dairy and Food Commits
sioners' Department is doing to ad-
vance the interest Of dairying. The
sanitary departments of state govern
ment will show what methods Of q
regulatory and helpful nature have
been put into effect to build up sue
cessful dairy industry. The State
College of Agriculture will demon
strate the work it is doing for i'm
proved dairy agriculture.
The National Dairy Council will ex-
among the school children of the
housewives on the use of milk and it's
work in the schools nationally in nu-
relative food value, of milk and its
bear to the health of the nation.
WORK OF COW TESTING ASSO-
CATIONS. Study of the exhibit of
the cow testing associations, whose
purpose is to determine the exact pro-
ducing and breeding value of each
COW in every dairyman's herd will be
an education Of great profit. Thru
COW testing work the poor cows can
be correctly eliminated and better
ones obtained.
The far reaching influence Of the
bull and calf clubs organized and
maintained by the county agricultural
agents and the states relations SER
vice. will be visualized.
The valuable training future dairy
and stock men get in the junior judg-
ing contests will be demonstrated by
boys and girls who have judged cattle
at county and state fairs and have
been selected to enter Judging con-
tests at the National Dairy show.
DAIRY COW WARDS OFF HARD
TIMES. The dairy COW as busi-
ness stabilizer will be another object
lesson of the Show. Facts and fig
ures will prove there are no hard
times where the profitable COW rules
agricultural effort. How the dairy
cow came to the rescue of the farmer
in times of stress and also warded
off difficulties from many banks will
be shown. Profitable cows and good
financial conditions 20 hand in hand.
The only entertainment feature in
the show other. than those Of ilnme-
date dairy value, will be the Horse
Show, which will be held in the Arera
building every evening of the show.
When we realize that the returns
from dairy products in the State of
Minnesota for the year ending June
80, 1920, was S162, 2,674,OOO, without
including the value of fertilizer or
young stock, we get some idea of
what we owe the dairy COW in sue
cuessful development of our agricul-
ture.
This Show will have wonderfully
potential value for the Northwest ag-
riculturally, industrially and economi-
calfy.
During the past year $4,000, 900
was paid for dairy products in North
Dakota and the total value of our
dairy industry was $50,000,00O.
This show will not be as near again
for many years and possibly we may
never have an opportunity to attend
\ it SO conveniently again. There are
parties being formed in every county
Of the state, reduced rates are being
made on the railroads, and everyone
who can possibly do so should arrange
to take advantage of the opportunity
by attending this great show.
The state has been divided into ten
districts for the purpose of organiza-
! tion. The northwestern part of the
state is designated as the Third dis
trict and comprises the counties of
Ward, Renville, Burke, Divide, Will
liams, Mckenzie and Mountrail. Ma.
f, jor E. S. Person has been appointed
! as leader for this district and has call
ed a meeting to.start the organization
work to be held at Stanley on Friday,
the 10th inst. Each county agent in
the seven counties mentioned above
will attend this meeting and dinner
which will be held at noon and will
bring with him at least one automo-
bile full of people interested in the
coming show. The idea being to
have . representative at the meet
ing, in addition to the county agent,
Of farmers, dairymen, bankers, news
paper men, creamery men, ice cream
men and as many others as can pos
sibly attend.
A special train will probably be
made up at Williston and. run east
on the Great Northern. Another one
will be made up at Beach and run east
on the N. p. It is expected that at
least one thousand will attend the
show from North Dakota and byt 60
ing together plan has been worked
out 50 that the party may be able
to get the most out Of the trip.
The various organizations cooperat-
| ing in this movement thru the ten
District Leaders are, thirty-five coun-
ty agents, the North Dakota State
Bankers association, commercial
clubs Of the state, Rotary clubs, XII
wants clubs, Town Criers clubs, the
State Dairymen's Association, cream
cry men, newspapers Of the state
county Farm Bureaus under the State
Farm Federation and many other
similar organizations.
The entertainment features at the
other end Of the line are being takeY
care Of in q splendid way. Mr.. E

formerly q railroad man, has charge
