Dear Mrs. Wilson,
We have just reached Vancouver,
leaving Armstrong this morning at
1880. We drove to Salmon Arm
some % miles and caught the 9:25
train. We had a lovely run of
twelve hours, covering some 800 miles.
There had been washout during the
night and all east bound trains were
delayed, but we got through all right
The scenery is very fine, but lacks
the wonder of the Rockies east of
Sieamous. There are many things
of interest. Among them is the fact
of the Canadian National road on the
opposite side of the river, the many
short tunnels on both roads, Hell's
gate bridge which spans the river, the
fact of the filling up of the Fraser
river, by the construction of the Can
adian National road so that the
Salmon can no longer reach its head
waters for spawning, thus reducing
the value of the Fraser river as a
salmon fishing field.

States. Butter Out
put Breaks Record
PRODUCTION ABOUT IL PER
CENT GREATER THAN IN 1922.
MANUFACTURING COSTS
REASONABLE.

Minnesota, the banner butter-pro-
ducing state of North America sur
passing all tohers in both the quality
and quantity of her creamery output,
broke her own record last year, ac-
cording to the figures of 1928 produc
ton compiled in the office of Dairy
and Food Commissioner Chris Heen
at ST. Paul.
Every butter factory in the state
is required by law to submit to him
a sworn statement of its output, re-
ceipts, amounts paid to patrons, and
running expenses for the year. These
have just been compiled to show the
results of last years business. 1t
far surpasses that of the previous
banner year, 1919, when a production
Of 143, 176,2O4 pounds sold for an
average cf Sc cents pound for a
total of $50, ,793,27S.
The 1928 production was 220,249,
493 pounds, or an increase of 26,342,-
493 pounds over that of the previous
year, when the creameries made 1885,
906,9 pounds Of butter.
The total amount of money receiv-
ed for this enormous output was $780,
066,537, or an increase of more than
$22,000,000 over the previous year,
when the creameries sold their pro-
ducts for $72, 1923, ,773.
Most of this amount came into the
state from the markets of the At
lantic seaboard, where the butter
from this state is in great demand
because of its exceptionally quality.
One of the most gratifying fea-
lures of these reports is the amount
received by the cream producers on
the farm; the men who actually milk
the dairy cows. They were paid a
total of $86,088,O47, which is more
than 81 per cent Of the total receipts
of factories for their butter. This
is highest return made to the farm
ers themselves for any farm product
produced in America.
The total cost of manufacturing the
states butter output was only ST.
71O, ,1O9, or little more than 8 per
cent of the amount received for It.
The cooperative manufacture of this
food product, in the creameries that
are owned by farmers themselves, re
suited in this exceptionally low manu-
I featuring cost, besides great econ
omies in marketing.
The state has about 820 creameries.
Of these, $40 are of the cooperative
type, all controlled by the farmers
and board of directors, and distribut-
ing back to the patrons every dollar
taken in, less the actual costs of max
ing the product.
These cooperative factories manu-
facture more than 67 per cent of the
total production, and make such a
high grade product that the eastern
buyers are strong competitors for
their output.
Some of them maintain i, buying
agencies in the Twin Cities and other
dairy centers, to purchase this high
grade product in carlots and ship it
to the eastern markets.
In the face of the increasing pro-
duction of the creameries, and the
fears expressed by some that the dairy
business might be overdone by the
efforts being made to increase it, the
patrons of the Minnesota creameries

Attorney Frank E. Putnam had
business requiring his presence at
Redwood Falls, last Wednesday and
asked this pencil wielder to accom-

could change socks and put on a new
paper collar we were ready for the
106 mile jaunt. And we are glad
we did, for the more you travel in
the south half of Minnesota and in
other states, the more convinced you

were lots of cows of the milking

farm, and we passed two fine cream

Mr.. Putnam turned the wheel over to
the Postman. We just want to tell
our readers that there is some of the
best country in Minnesota to the west
of Sleepy Eye for many miles. But

Dairy Exposition
Is important
DAIRY EXPOSITION
AT STATE FAIR VITALLY
IMPORTANT.

The Northwest Dairy Exposition
is one Of the greatest dairy education
al institutions conducted in the Unit
ed States ranking nearest to the Ma
tional Dairy Show in dairy exhibits
and educational features pertaining
strictly to the dairy industries and
will be shown at the Minnesota State
Fair this year. There has been a
great tendency towards dairying in
the past few years. This great tend
ency to dairying has been an over
stocking of cows on farm. 1t takes
a dairyman in the true sense OF the
word to make money In the dairy
business. Dairymen do not spring
up over night. 1t takes years OF
study of dairy production, dairy
breeds, feeds and feeding to make
successful venture in dairying.
There is no place where farmer
can get a wider scope of knowledge
and secure greater observation In the
factors entering into the successful!
dairy business than he can at the
Northwest Dairy Show in connection
with the State Fair this year.
The expense of attending the show
is very small and the possibilities OF
securing greater information and
help in the dairy business are unlim-
tied providing people go there to find
such information. 1t is really great
opportunity knocking at the door OF
every farmer who milks cows, every
dairyman who is in the business as a
major part of his operation or any
one who is interested in dairying to
attend this dairy show.
Dairying is not the only special
feature in connection with the State
Fair. The Minnesota State Fair is
noted for one of the best Fat Stock
Shows in the middle west. 1t has
beef cattle breeders of the very best
exhibiting large herds and many ol
them.
In addition to this there is one Of
the biggest Swine shows. All breeds

breeding shown at the State Fair.
In addition to this there are othe,
big features such as the club work

contributed to in large way from

booth and a complete line of boy.

tions and judging teams. Then there

Closed Season Urged

The Redwood Falls Commercial
Club at its meeting on August 18 un-
animously passed resolution and
forwarded to the governor of Min
nesota urging closed season for at
least five years on the Ringneck or
Chinese Pheasant. These pheasants
have been released in Minnesota the
last few years and in order for them
to get good start closed season
seems advisable. They are an admir-
able game bird. Gov. Preus requested
q state wide opinion before ordering
closed season and the various or
ganizations throughout Minnesota ara

Cleveland Leader, at Columbus, and
shortly after was made the special

paper. During his early years in the
National Capital Mr.. Carpenter wrote

of Washington correspondence. Mr..
Carpenter had to rare degree the
gift of understanding what the aver

stand. In all his travels he wrote of

His bent for travel was developed
in his early youth. In fact, his first
trip aboard was taken as the result
of the solemn warning of his physi-
clans that his health was so poor
that he had but short time to live
He reasoned that if he was to die
soon he might as we'll see something
of this world before he passed on
to the next, and, accordingly, made
trip to Egypt. In defiance of the
doctors: edict. he continued to travel
and write for practically half a CEN
turX after that. although he never
enjoyed vigorous health and expert
enced illness in every corner of the
globe.
At the beginning of his career

discourage him from entering JOUR
nalism. To get rid of him, one of
the Ohio editors told him that the
only job he could give him was col
lecting bills for advertising and sub
scriptions. The young man promptly
accepted and brought in so many
news items in addition to his cash
collections that he soon won place
on the reportorial staff.
