missioner, has resigned his position
to accept the management of the
Br;dgeman-Russe creamery in Sioux
Falls, S. d. Mr.. Flint will take up
his work there with the beginning Of
thesncw year.
Mr.. Flint, who formerly was Com
missioncr of Agriculture and Labor
and dairy commissioner for a num-
bcr Of years, was employed by the
BridgemannRussell company with
headquarters in Fargo when he ac-
cepted the post Of dairy commission
er with the recall administration a
year ago. 1t was announced at the
time by Commissioner Kitchen that
Mr.. Flint had accepted the state
post at Il sacrifice in salary because
of his intense interest in promoting
the dairy industry in North Dakota.
The new position carries a large
increase in salary, it is understood,
and Mr.. Flint is said also to have
been prompted somewhat by the fact
that appropriations for the dairy de-
partmcnt were not sufficient to car
ry on the work on the scale he de-
sired.
The Sioux Falls plant is on the
largest of the Bridgeman-Russell
plants, more than a million pounds
of better being manufactured there
