R: F. Flint, the Dairy Commission
er, from Bismarck, is secretary of the
week, comforting with President Nor

The Independent wants as many
people as possible to attend this con-
vention and the farmers are especially
invited, We are all interested in
dairying, for this is the salvation of
our North Dakota farmers. The
businessmen of Minot are urged to
attend these meetings and listen to
addresses from some of the very
best experts in the United States.
President Morrell calls especial at
tention to the program which will be
held at the high school auditorium
on Tuesday evening, March Z, and
cordially invites the Minot folks to
attend it. Five dairy reels are to
be shown and they are educational.
The Town Criers will take part in
the program. There will be no adj
mission charge.
Cash prizes aggregating $4,000
are offered by the state dairymen's
association for creamery butter and
$4,000 for dairy butter. The cream
cry butter should be shipped in 20
pound tubs and the dairy butter in
five pound jars. Any farmer is in
vited to participate in the latter con-
test. All entries should be address,
ed to "North Dakota Buttermakers'
Association, Minot, N. d., and should
arrive not later than March 6. Those
bringing in their exhibits may leave
them with President Morrell. After
the contest, the butter will be sold and
after the expenses are deducted, the
owners will be paid for same. Prof.
Dice of the Agricultural College will
be the judge. : .-...
During the past seven years, the
state of North Dakota as an institu-
ton, has done little for the dairy
interests but with r. F. Flint as dairy
commissioner, we may expect import
ant developments henceforth. Mr..
Flint, in conversation with repre-
sentative of the Independent recently,
stated that the trouble with dairying
in North Dakota is that 60 per cent
of our dairy products are marketed in
the three summer months. More at
tention must be paid to milking cows
during the winter, when for five
months the land is frozen and the
farmers otherwise have little to do.
Winter feed must be grown and stor-
ed away. Cows must be freshened
inps must be provided. Corn and
millet must be fed.
Mr.. Flint is to take prominent
part in the dairymen's convention.
One of the strong figures in the
convention will be Joel G. Winkjer,
former Dairy Commissioner of Min
nesota. who is to talk on "Co-operat-
tive Breeding Associations" Mr..
Winkier now heads the work of the
U. S. Dairy Division at Washington,
D. C. His plan is the community idea
for the rotation of good bulls owned
: by joint company. You can't tell
what bull will do in the way OF a
record, until his daughters have come
into the record.
The program will be most valuable
to any farmer and bringing the con-
vention to Minot offers the farmers
of this vicinity the finest kind Of an
opportunity to get into touch with the
latest IN dairying. The following
is the program as arranged:
