IDAHO BOOTH GETS
FAVORABLE NOTICE
Visitors at Dairy Show
Praise Exhibits from
Gem State


National Dairy show at Milwaukee
that Idaho and South Dakota ere
the only states west of the Missis-
sippi river represented with exhibits
and that the Idaho booth is being
freely acclaimed the finest one on
the grounds. They have good po-
sition and with the Idaho bunch
we'll organized and each one taking
his or her assignment each shift,
they are impressing Idaho and its
resources and opportunities upon
the visitors. Miss Peck's work is to
give information about Idaho, and
to take the names and addresses of
persons who show sufficient interest
to be worth following up with let
tiers and literature and invitations
to come and see. In this way she Is
assembling a working list for the
colonizing work that is to be carried
on during the fall and winter.
Mr.. and Mrs Kunze of Bull,
prominent in larry work there, are
in the Idaho party, and they are
very helpful members. Ralph Ed
munds of Idaho Falls has been In
California the past six years, and is
a convincing talker for Idaho be-
cause he has made study of our
resources as compared with the
coast states and paints bright pic
ture for Idaho.
California has large delegation
at the show but no exhibit. Utah
is well represented by individuals,
many, of them acquainted in Idaho.
and all good Idaho boosters. What
Idahoans say can be verified among
the Utahns, and proved by products
at the Idaho booth as rule. There
is a carload of people from each
state, Idaho and Utah, and they
travelled together from Granger to
Milwaukee, and became good pals.
The Utahns are not sent by the
state and have no literature, but
ere simply at the dairy show be-
cause of their interest in dairying
and because they have the dough to
go where they want to.
Each Idaho delegate wears a ,
badge on which is printed, Idaho,
the coming dairy state. Ask me- At |
the top of the badge the delegate
wears his personal card showing the
name and address, and with this in
PRODUCTION everybody feels acquaint-
ed and ready to talk.
Ralph Edmunds is giving illus
trated lectures on the upper Snake
river valley, showing on the screen,
the bounteous farm crops and meth
DDS of handling. 1t is like riding
among the farms in summer without
the heat and fatigue of the journey.
Ralph is fluent speaker and pre-
sents the subject so we'll that the
whole delegation is proud of him.
There are four films of southern
Idaho and one from the Idaho
Grimm Growers on the way.
The Idaho delegates are SO proud
of their booth they had it photo
grgphed and are wishing that some
scheme could be devised to have 1t
published SO all the Idaho people
could see it.
Perhaps the strongest feature OF
the Idaho exhibit, which is attract
ing such favorable notice at the
show is the exhibit of the Idaho
Grimm Seed Growers association
which was assembled by H. L. Ken
nedy, sales manager of the associa-
ton, for their exhibit at the Wiscon-
sin state fair some weeks ago and
which was loaned to the Blackfoot
chamber of commerce IS part of
the Blackfoot contribution to the
Idaho exhibit at the dairy show. The
exhibit consists of specimens OF
plants, seeds and pictures and Will
be taken to the International Hay
and Grain show at Chicago later in
the season. This exhibit is doing
much to direct attention to Black
foot and Bingham county as the !,
foremost seed producing district in
the United States.
