D. State Dairymen Meet Resolutions Against House Bill 151—Prizes Awarded and Officers for Ensuing Year Elected By Staff Correspondent MANDAN, N. D, Feb. 10.—The North Dakota Dairymen's associa- tion went on record at its closing session at Mandan, February 8, in favor of compulsory pasteurization of milk and cream used in making butter and commercial ice cream, for more money for the dairy department of the Agricultural college and against House Bill 151, a measure in the interest of livestock owners, to raise compensation paid to owners of tubercular cattle killed by state authority. The follow- ing day it took steps to carry out its legislative program, embracing these points and some others, with house and senate committees and presenting several bills for enactment at this session. ‘ The objection dairymen have to House Bill 151 is that most of the cat- tle in the state which are now infected with tuberculosis are the beef cattle and breeders, and that the dairymen have for years been sacrificing their cattle at the old low rates of compen- sation, until they are nearly all “clean,” while the beef and breeding cattle owners now coming in for a ‘‘cleaning,” would get compensation double to four times what the dairymen ever got, and the general public would have to pay for it, including the dairymen. who have borne their own burden. Oppo- sition to “raising the ante,” as dairy- men called it, was vo)v_ed-in resolutions presented by Dr. Mackey of Mandan. ‘SMALL APPROPRIATIONS ASKED OF LEGISLATURE The resolutions called for some small appropriations, including $2500 to equip with machinery the dairy build= ing at the A. C.; $500 a year to go to- wards defraying the expenses of the state dairy association, similarly to that now granted to the livestock owners; and for legislation making it compul- sory on all commercial manufacturers of butter and ice cream to pasteurize their milk and cream so used, unless it comes from herds that have certificates . showing they are free from_ tubercu- losis. Praise was given the livestock sani- tary board for the ‘way in which it is enforcing the animal health laws, and dairymen were congratulated upon the progress that dairying has made in North Dakota during the past year. EXPRESS RATES ARE CONDEMNED As a means of further encouraging the establishment and operation of local creameries, the association con- demned the express rates that are now demned the express rates that are now in forc> and asked the reestablishment of- the rates that were in force until June, 1916. The present rates, they said, discriminate in favor of the centralizers and against local creameries, a condition that it was declared is detrimental to the state. Farmers were urged not to patronize centralizers if they could avoid it, but to sell their butter fat to the creameries in their own communities. One of the features of the convention was the presentation of 33 essays by farm boys and girls from 14 to 20 years of age on the subject “The Dairy Cow.” .The fact was brought out that most of these .responses came from boys and girls reading the announce- ment in the Nonpartisan Leader, and it was confidently declared that had the announcement of a prize for the best essay been announced a little earlier, SIXTEEN by meeting there would have been 100 or more essays. Peter Olafson, age 19 years, of Edin- burg wrote the best essay and won the prize Jersey heifer offered by Sam F. Crabbe of Fargo. Second place was won by Chester V. Byington of Sutton, age 18 years, and third by Miss Fern Shields of Wales, age 16. This was the first time this method of awakening interest in dairying has been tried and members said it had proved a great success. SUMMER PICNIC PLAN IS MADE For the purpose of further stimulat- ing interest, it was decided to hold an early summer picnic under the auspices of the state association at some suit- able place accessible by good automo- bile roads, and several places put in invitations, among them New Salem, Mandan, Devils Lake, Spiritwood and scme others. The place and date will be decided later by the officers. The retiring state officials, Former Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor Fred Flint, and his two assistants, Peter Miller and E. A. Greenwood, were commended for their administration; and the new administration of the Nonpartisan League was promised the support and co-operation of the asso- ciation in all its dairy enterprises. -The resolutions called for the expenditure of the proposed $500 bonus under the auspices of the state dairy commission- er, to whom the association should make a regular report, and J. J. Oster- haus, the new dairy commissioner, was chosen secretary of the association. Mr. Flint was presented with the em- blem of the association, a cowbell, at the conclusion of the last session, and responded in a short address thanking the dairymen for past co-operation. He will leave North Dakota soon to take up duties with the department of agriculture at Washington. OFFICERS CHOSEN FOR ENSUING YEAR Officers chosen for the ensuing year are as follows: president, Peter Miller of Bismarck; vice president, U. J. Downer of New Salem; secretary, - Dairy Commissioner, J. J. Osterhaus of Bismarck; treasurer, William F, Stege of Medina; directors, Mr. Crabbe, J. D. Bacon of Grand Forks and H. C. Schulte of Mandan. " The Mandan high school orchestra, which supplied music, and other organ= izations were thanked in the resolu- tions. Owing to the blockaded train service on many branch roads the at- tendance was not up to the usual standard, about 80 members only being present. The program covered dis- cussion of various dairy topics and ex- tended over two days. : Williston’s in- vitation to meet there for the next an- nual session was tentatively accepted. POULTRY RAISERS ELECT At a meeting of the North Dakota Poultry association held recently at Valley City, Sam F. Crabbe of Fargo was elected president. Other officers elected were J. C. Beith of Wheatland, first vice president; O, A. Barton of - Valley City, second vice president; M. N. Hatcher of Fargo, secretary, and A. W. Beals of Fargo, treasurer. M. C. James, A. P. Beals, C. J. Buck and J. C. Beith were added to the board of directors. They have not decided as ‘yet just where they will hold their next convention. A, e W o
