Inc annual meeting OF the
Stearns County Holstein-Fresian
Association was held at the Palmer
House in this city Monday follow
ing at 100 o'clock luncheon.
President JOS. Leutmer, of Metre
Grove, presided.
Herbert Geiger, Minneapolis, Sec
rotary of the State association, was
the first speaker introduced. He
talked at some length on the value
Of Association work, having partic-
ular reference to the sales service
developed by the Association. He
suggected that the Stearns county
organization cooperate with the
recently organized Todd county as
ISOLATION and have one man act as
sales agent for both organizations.
DR.. J. A. Dubois said he first be-
came interested in the development
of the Holstein breed for a period
covering 40 years. His family connec-
tions began developing the breed
in Wisconsin over half century
ago. The Doctor said he was still
convinced the Holstein was the
Queen of all cows. He urged uni
fed feeling between the farmer and
the bsuiness men of the small
city as their interests were so close
ly interlocked that the success of
one meant the success of the other,
p. j. Uelson, who first started
developing a Holstein herd near
Clarissa Is years ago, retiring a
few years since, returning to his
first love several months ago, was
the next speaker. He said when he
paid $500 for a COW and 81 1000 for a
pure bred sire back in the early
days his neighbors questioned his
sanity. He pointed with pride that
from this beginning there are to-
day many fine herds of Holsteins
in Todd county.
He discussed the sales service
feature and urged his fellow breed
ers never to mislead a purchaser
He said that an animal which was
not good enough to keep in ones
own herd was not good enough tc
sell to anyone except the South st
Paul packers.

county. At Mondays meeting he
