Merrill-Prohibition and ice cream
are the salvation of the dairy farmer,
said Mrs. L. Ruprecht, Lincoln coun-
tvs foremost dairywoman. The dairy
farmer, she says, is far more for
tunate than the grain farmer, the po-
tato farmer or the beef farmer. In
fact no farmer is so well situated in
this state as the one who has made
speciality of dairying. His fortunate
position, she says, is largely due to
prohibition and the consequent de-
mand for milk and cream by ice cream
manufacturers.
