With this start to protect the- producer Osterhous started out to build up the dairy industry of the state. y When Osterhous came into the department, the best figures that were on hand showed the value of butterfat sold to creameries and cream stations in the state to be approximately $2,500,000. For the last four years the dairy in- du‘stry has made wonderful strides and for 1919 the total value of all dairy products is estimated at $50,000,000, approximately ~half the value of the wheat crop of the state. Producers are getting much more nearly the value of their product than ever before. Comparatively few new co-operative creameries have been launched, but the big buyers have been held to fairer practices. And Oster- hous has used his authority to stop a practice that was formerly preva- lent in North Dakota and many other states—the launching of new local creameries by professional promoters, who would play upon local pride to start a plant that would have no chance to succeed—and then depart from the locality, with 20 per cent promotion expenses in his pockets, to let the creamery worry along as best it might. How widespread this prac- tice has been is indicated by the fact that of 250 local creameries launched at one time or another in North Da- kota, only about 50 are in operation today. o . ~ By showing farmers that they have a chance to get & square deal in the .dairy business, the department of agriculture and labor has done more to encourage good. farming than all the advice that was handed out in the previous 25 years by bankers, lawyers and politicians who lacked the confi- dence of the farmers. Hagan is not a man to preach one thing to the farmers and practice something else on his own farm. He is thoroughly convinced now that the dairy industry is the coming thing for North Dakota and he is taking steps to put his own 960-acre place at Deering on that basis. He is buying selected seed corn of proved variety, ‘Minnesota 13 . and whitecap yellow dent, from an Emmons county farmer and is paying $4 a bushel for it. He is buying a registered Holstein bull and a few Holstein cows and is going * to change his herd, now consisting of shorthorns, over to the new basis. If truth were told, John Hagan probably weuld like to get back to his farm and spend all his time there, making it the best farm in the state. But his fellow farmers have wished too many jobs upon him down at Bis- ‘marck, so he has to stay there for the present to work them out. TREES FOR PLANTING The one to two-foot seedlings make the best size trees for starting a grove, according to C. B. Waldron, dean of the agricultural department, North Dakota Agricultural college. He also recommends planting the trees four feet apart in rows eight or mine feet apart, eight feet being rather narrow for cultivation with many of the farm tools. The reason for plant- ing the trees so close together is that the trees shade the ground as soon as possible so as-to smother the weeds, which they will usually do in four to five years.—NORTH DAKOTA AGRI- CULTURAL COLLEGE.
