Show State Directors Meet With Local Dairymen's Association By FRANK MILES Another good, enthusiastic meeting was held last evening by the dairymen of the county in the courthouse under the direction of Director William Peterson of the Extension Division and Assistant Director W. W. Owens of the Agriculture College. Because this is not an orthodox dairying country, some of the men anticipated some antagonism on the part of these men. But this was not the case. They told us of some of our problems and warned us that unless we became dairy minded and adopted at all times modern dairying methods, we could not hope to succeed in our proposed creamery plant. They advised going ahead slowly with the project, and offered all the assistance possible for its success. After all, the success of the movement will depend on the farmer himself. There are no natural obstacles that would hinder its success. The Bank, the Chamber of Commerce, or any other institution, no matter how enthusiastic, cannot milk those cows. It is urged that every farmer in the county join the As-continued As-continued on page eight) Dairyman's Association (Continued from first page) sociation. With a good, live cooperative bunch of men working together, buying and maintaining the best breeding stock for the purpose of increasing the quality of our herds, buying if possible, modern machinery cooperatively, and doing do-ing all sorts of things together for the benefit of all, would be the only proper procedure. These are modern trends and methods, and must be adopted if success is to be expected. If modern mod-ern methods are adopted, personal prosperity can be increased, county economic conditions and its institutions can be further stabilized, and not least of all there will be interest and fun in working together and putting some things over. |
