Dairy Modernization Program Progresses in Valley
Len Buekel
Dairy Near
Z. {. Completed

The completion of the Len Bucket
dairy west of Ell Centro is another
step in the rebuilding of an III
dustry in Imperial Valley, Walter
Macdonald, county milk inspector
said today
But the rebuilding of the indus
try in Imperial county promises to
outshine all previous records, ac-
c0rding to the inspector.
The Bucket dairy is the most
modern of a series of modern
dairies which have been built in
the valley recently.
Cleanliness is the keyword at the
dairy, Facilities to wash the COWS
before they are MIXED have been
made available
The new q COW barn has a ce-
ment floor and an efficient drain
system which allows the floor to
be kept clean at all times.
The refrigeration room. the milk
house and other sections of the
new structure house and other
sections of the new structure rep
resent the latest building Specifi-
cations.
New dairies in Imperial county
are creating more interest on the
coast as to the possibilities of the
valley as future home for those
dairymen.
Cheap feed ideal weather, abun-
dance of land are only a few of
the advantages that the valley
offers. And more dairymen are
realizing these facts each month,
Macdonald said.

Dairy Plants 10
Plan Advertising
Seventy-five Percent of
States Output Must be
Signed to Start Program.

A meeting will be held in Pine
county August S, to discuss with the
dairy products plants creameries
cheese plants, ETC., the plan proposed
to advertise dairy products in Min
nesota.
To assist the dairy industry of the
state in organizing itself, the last
Legislature appropriated 100000 to
be spent by the dairy division at
University Farm with the approval
of the Minnesota Dairy Industry
Committee, whose membership in
cludes representatives from the IL
major dairy products organizations in
the state. The plan is to increase the
consumption of dairy products by adj
vertising to the public the value of
dairy products as food and thereby
maintain and increase the total in
come of dairy farmers.
In signing the contract, each cream
cry plant agrees to contribute for
advertising in proportion to the vol
ume of product it handles. Agree
ments cannot become effective until
at least rs percent of the states aver
age annual butterfat output is signed
up and the committee has assurance
of enough support from other states
to warrant going ahead.

Doctor Sets Up
Office In Askov
Bakery Building
DIR. E. Irvine ParsOn Sc
lects AskOv i'm Which to
Begin Medical Practice.

DR.. E. Irvine Parson, who was here
several days ago to make arrange
ments to start a general medical
practice, returned to Askov Wednes-
day and expects to have his equip
ment ready to start practice Monday,
July rs. While he, with his wife, will
reside in rooms at the Conrad Chris
Jensen home in the west part of the
village, DR.. Parson will have his
office in the Askov Bakery building
which has been remodeled to make
an excellent office with outside en-
trance.
DR.. Parson is a young man, but
has had intensive training in medi-
cine and comes well recommended
for the large field of practice which
Askov affords. He took his pre-
medic training at Hamline University
in st. Paul and his medical course
at the University of Minnesota. He
has just completed his interneship
at st. Luke's hospital in Duluth.
Before his college training, during
which time he also received a bache-
lor of science degree, DR.. Parson
graduated from the Roosevelt high
school in Minneapolis, where he had
resided since 1922 as the son of Rev.
A. E. Parson, superintendent of the
state Congregational Congress.
The new doctor has a fine person.
ality, apparently possessing good pro-
fessional and business judgment, and
those who have come in contact with
him are optimistic in regards to his
success here. He has purchased the
latest equipment for the conduct of
general medical practice and this
will all be installed in his office be-
fore next week. He will carry his
own drugs which will be required
for general prescriptions.

by the torrent of water made up the

By HJALMAR PETERSEN.

In the death of my old friend
Ludwig Mosbak, 1 am moved to put
a few thoughts in writing.
We mourn the loss of relatives and
friends but realize that sooner or
later we all must take that route
If Mr. Mosb9k were here today, he
would tell us to go on and strive
forward toward better and more
wholesome life So whatever we can
learn from looking into his many
years of activity, from recalling happy
memories of his life, his friendly
spirit, and his kindness will help all
of us in our lives.
A Community Leader.
Ludwig Mosbak was SO years OF
age when he came to the Askov COM
munity 80 years ago. Few indi-
viduals can point back to so many
years of active work after they have
passed the half century mark. He
was always on the alert and there
was no giving up.
About 25 years ago he introduced
rutabagas to the Askov community
and it was through his leadership that
our community developed a state
reputation, and in measure, a ma
tional reputation as rutabaga center
The roots 60 out not only to north
west states but far down into southern
states.
While we may all appreciate the
beauty of ferns growing wild along
the banks of Kettle river and other
places in our community, it remained
for Mr.. Mosbak to appreciate also
their commercial value. He gave
work to people in the community in
the gathering and shipping of the
ferns which were advertised through
leaflets, catalogs, newspaper articles
and he built up market far and
near for Pine county ferns.
ResOlute, Business Like.
Alongside of his own nursery and
farming interests, MIR. Mosb9k took
an active interest in cooperative en-
terprises of the community. He stated
time and again that cooperative bust
ness places must be on a par with
competitors. They should have nc
favors, should serve as well as others
and should stand on their own feet
He was resolute and business-like.
He asked no more from others than
