All Baby Beef Project
All club members interested in
enrolling in the baby beef project
for 1889 should make arrangements
now to secure their calves for feed
ing purposes. 1t has been definite
ly demonstrated in Stearns county
at the county fair and at the Jun
ior Livestock Show at South st.
Paul that club members who feed
their calves well for almost year
are the ones that really make the
best showing at the county fair and
at the Junior Livestock Show. Prac-
tically all of the club members go
ing to the Junior Show from
Stearns county this year, according
to the county agents office, st.
Cloud, fed their animals from last
fall on to the present time and the
quality Of calves going to the Jun
ior Show from Stearns county will
be better this year than in any prev
ious year.
A number of good calves raised
right in Stearns county are avail
able for the purpose. If this num-
Der is not enough to take care OF
the needs Of club members, arrange
ments have been made to give club
members an opportunity to look ov-
er and purchase calves raised on
the western ranges and shipped in
to Minnesota for feeding purposes.
Club members who wish to enroll
in the project for next year should
lose no time in making arrange
ments to purchase their calves at
this time.
Dairy Advertising Program
The program of the Minnesota
Dairy Industry Committee is max
ing considerable progress in most
communities of Stearns county and
a number of Stearns county dairy
plants are already signed up on the
program, according to the county
agents office, st. Cloud. In Stearns
county however, only about half of
the dairy plants have indicated
their intention of contributing Soc
per 1000 pounds of butter or it's
equivalent on this advertising pro-
gram. In view of the fact that
Stearns county has continually
boosted of its dairy output, it would
seem that the Stearns county coop
eratives and private institutions in
the dairy business would come in on
the program with greater speed
than what they have so far.
In this program the Minnesota
Dairy Industries committee is work.
ing in conjunction with other dairy
states to make this advertising pro-
gram a national venture in order to
increase the use of dairy products
by all consumers in America. Nu-
tritionists and farm leaders contin-
ually maintained that there are no
satisfactory substitutions for dairy
products in the human diet and nat
urally the dairy leaders have a
splendid field to work in in calling
the attention Of consumers to this
worthwhile program. It is hoped
that dairy farmers over StearnS
county will prevail upon their
creamery directors and officers to
sign up on this advertising program
at once in order that the necessary
rs percent sign-up goal can be
achieved without further delay. It
is necessary to have rs percent Of
the plants signed up in order to get
the program underway.
