, and assuring them that this is whs
grows in Idaho; they saw it them
selves growing in such profusio
and fine quality everywhere thos
Idaho folks don't realize what the
have. If other far western state
had exhibits at the Dairy Shov
there might be grounds for jealous
when these Wisconsin men and tn
Union Pacific and Short Line mel
rush around and lead their friend
to the Idaho booth and rave owe
the exhibits, but our isolation ant
the beauty and completeness OF oul
exhibit made it stick out like Tho
proverbial sore thumb that got at
tention going and coming. Wher
homeseekers listen to those mer
! and are assured that what they see
in the booth is what they see on
every hand as they journey through
Southern Idaho, and that these
delegates at the Dairy Show wear
ing the Idaho badges are the &C
credited representatives of the
chambers of commerce of those To-
calities and that the plan is to es-
tablish personal contact to give
homeseekers the chance to go right
through to Idaho and be shown
around by the men of those organ
izations in the communities where
people are anxious to have every
homeseeker succeed in whatever he
undertakes, it opens up the most
attractive colonization project ever
offered since the days when James
J. Hill opened up empires along the
line of the Northern Pacific.
The purpose of the Idaho organ
izations in going into the best old
dairy state in the Union to make
this effort, is to get few young
men and young women to come
west, to bring the best of dairy
stock with them, to bring Wiscon-
sin methods with them to operate,
in a sense, as demonstration farms
among our western people who are
not so good at dairying but who
can show the newcomers how to ir-
rigate and adapt themselves to the
of our soil and climate.
The hope is that all communities
where such persons invest and set
tie, will make it a matter of public
necessity to have those persons
succeed. In that event they will
advertise our resources among
their friends and will keep up the
good work of colonization. But If
they fail, if they send back dis
couraging reports or II they return
to Wisconsin Disguised, then all of
our efforts have been lost.
An incident of one busy day at the
Dairy Show was the arrival of the
governor of Nebraska with a dele !
CATION of a hundred people wanting |
20 see a COW or two and to eat at |
some of the delicatessens where
hey serve only dairy products such !

atoes and cheese, macaronf and
cheese, custard pie, ice cream, fruit
With whipped cream, rice custard
pudding and the like. At the
anne time there arrived the govern
II of Mississippi with his delega-
ion wanting to know what real
ows looked like and wanting to
ee the white rats raised on plenty
+ milk so they could compare them
nth rats of the same age fed on
read and water and other stats of
lie but no milk, and note the
hooking difference in size and ap-
earance They don't raise so much
rass and COWS down south, and
lese Mississipians wanted to know
hat they are missing. When |
1own the white rats that had been
ept on part milk diet, just mid
lin good rats they said that Mis-
ssippi ought to buy another COW

The governor of Texas and his

ilkers from Meridian, Idaho, too
loice to be approached, and hun
eds of beautiful cows Of lesser

uched with dust or loose hairs or
posed to air in which one could
,tect the smell of stable, and
ey said it was right good to drink,
It so good as some whiskey, but
illion times better than some
her whiskey AS they went down
e line and were handed at each
10Th a little hunk of the best
reese on earth, they said 1t seem
right wholesome and they were
eased to pieces to have people
