Althiough) the volume of business as compared) with other creameries, has been) very small, yet we have been able to pay remarkably high prices for butter fat. The anmual report of the dairy department for Mimne- sota for the year 1912 shows that the Itasca Co-operative creamery ranked second in the price paid for butter fat among all the creameries cf the state, one creamery, that at Chisago, paying on an average onje- half cent more. The average price paid for butter fat during that year in the entire state was 30.2 cents, while our price was 35 centis. j average price last year was ome- | half cent less than, that of 1912, but {last year we were $66 in the hole while this meeting finds us with a Business Doae During 1913 Shows Gratifying Increase Over That of the Previous Year.

With the business naturally coming to the county seat from other towns im the same county it would seem as if they would be particularly anx- ious to see facilities for reaching here made as convenient as possi- ble. Indications are now, how- ever, that our business men will take the matter up intelligently. and enthusiastically, and with the aid to-be derived from the civic bodies of other towns throughi which the line would pass, will be able to present am array of facts to parbies having the extension of their roads in view that should) prove to them the. desirability of. j making this point the western ter- iminus of dan interurban line.

To aid the secretary toget these seeds dis'mibuted where they will do the most good and also im the gathiering of exhibits suitable for displaying at the state fair, a committee was appointed consisting of H. Templer of Deer River township, William Hendricks of Balsam townghip, and Neil Mc- Kinley of Blackberry township. These men are all capable, repre- sentative farmers who have made a suceess of their vocation anid they will prove a decided help in get- ting the best results. As. ex-officio. members of this committee whose opportunities will enable them to put in work of par- ticular value, were added Supt. A. J. MeGuire amd Agricultural In- structor W. J. Corwin. Upon the suggestion of Secretary Sisler it was decided to secure the services of an expert in the selec- tiom and placing of the coumity’s ex- hibit upon its arrival at the fair grounds. Much depends upon the displaying of thle products te the best advantage, it having been no— ticed that counties paying parti- cular attention to this detail have invariably fared better at the hand; of the judges. Another point up- on which more attention will be expended is the selection of the proper amount of potatoes required by the regulations of the fair mam- ated} agement. Many points have beer lost through! neglect to observe thie rules in this respect and this over- sight will hereafter be remedied. A committee consisting of the of- ficers of the association wasinamed to wait upon the board of county commissioners with a request for an appropriation of $500 for the ex. hibit at the state fair. The coun- ty board will also be asked for a special appropriation large enough to permit of the erection of new buildings for live stock and poul- try exhibits at the fair grounds, These are badly needed and in- asmuch as the commissioners have always displayed a willingness to_ do anything within reason to fur- ther the work of the association( | it it was thought that the securing!) i of the sum necessary for the pur- pose would not prove difficult. Several suggestions for changes in the premium list were made. in the spring.
