Dairy Enthusiasts Learn Much and Praise Wisconsin Nebraskans Get First-Hand Knowledge of Industry; Di versified Crops Found Necessary to Land. By WIL1L1 M. MATTIX. "It was a wonderful trip and worth far more than It cost.” That was the verdict of every mem ber of the Nebraska delegation that vlBlted the dairy eections of Wiscon sin and the national dairy show at Milwaukee. The happiest man on the trip is Otto Leibers, manager of the Nebraska dairy development associa tion, to whose energy Is due credit for the great success. Dean Burnett of the State College of Agriculture, was one of the good old standbys of the trip. One of the enthusiasts of the party was Mrs. C. M. Ketler of Ben kjeman, who came from the farthest west to Join the party. For many years she has managed a farm of 1,ROO acres and has made it pay. "This trip has been a revelation to me,” said Mrs. Ketler. “I am going to give more attention to the dairy business from now on, for I know that conditions are right for it In my section. With our wealth of alfalfa, corn and other silage crops, our climate and pure water for livestock, we have the greatest fairy country In the world. I am sure thnt this trip has been worth millions to Ne braska.” Many Cows Bought. A number of good cows were pur chased by members of the party, and there Is an evident determination on the part of the Nebraskans to give more time and attention to dairying. "We can not expect to reach the Wisconsin standard in three1 or four years,” said W. F. Holcomb of Clay Center. ”But with our unusually good conditions In Nebraska we can develop dairying In half the time It took Wisconsin. Our problem now Is to interest the young folks; to make them ‘dairy minded,’ as one Wiscon sin man called It.” George Jackson of Nelson,’ forme* speaker of the legislature, has warmed up In great shape on this trip. He is now an enthusiastic sup porter of dairy development. As a member of the state board of agricul ture he is In a position to exert a powerful influence In the work of dairy development. H. Z. Baker of Atwood, Kan., was one of the live wires of the party. Baker Is president of the co-operative creamery at Orleans, Neb., the larg est of Its kind In ths world. Baker was so interested that he will remain In Milwaukee until the end of the dairy show, and then take a little trip all by himself through dairy sections not yet visited. "I wish w# might havs had 10 times as many people on this trip ns we had," said Baker. "Our company -will reap rich result* from this edu cational trip.” Ole Hansen, manager of the Or leans concern, has been In his native element up here. Ole got his first lessons in dairying In Wisconsin from his Dane forebear*, and while up here has been talking to old friends of other days, "We are showing what organiza tion and co-operation means to the farmers In our section,” said Ole. "And the men and women on thlR trip have received many pointers of great value. They have seen what intelligent co-operation will do. Mrs. Joseph Brown of Cambridge has been deeply interested In every phase of the trip, and goes baek home with her note book full of facts and figures. No member of the party has gotten more out of this trip than Otto Becker of Emerald. Otto Is perhaps the youngest member of the party, and he has been setting a warm pace for the rest. He hasn't missed a single feature of the trip. Right alongside every speaker at the vari ous farms visited, he has taken copi ous notes and says lie wouldn't have missed the trip for anything. He is one of the young fellows who Is go ing to exert a marked Influence in dairy development in Nebraska. George Gocken of David City is an other member who expresses un bounded enthusiasm In the matter of dairy development. "What I have learned will be of Im mense value to me,” said Gocken, "and I purpose telling all my neigh bors and friends about It. More than that, I am going to show them by ac tual work what I have learned. Wouldn’t have missed this trip for 10 times what It cost.” One of the big things of the trip was the spectacle of intensive farm ing. There is little waste land on Wisconsin farms. Every square foot is made to yield something. In some sections the soil would discourage the average Nebraska farmer. The soil is light and thin, and the mon it is plowed the greater the crop of stones yielded. But this does not dis courage the land owners. They get plenty of forage for their dairy cows, and the butterfat Is what they are after. Much of the land has been cleftred of timber, but that was so long ago that stumps are a rarity. Dairying in Wisconsin is not so much a matter of choice as neces sity. This used to be a wheat state years ago, but It was "wheated to death,” and the land owners had to turn to something else. The big farms have been cut up Into small tracts, averaging less than 100 acres, and big dairy barns and modern homes have taken the place of the crude barns and ungainly houses. The soil has been built up until it yields generously of crops that go to make milk, and Wisconsin is pros perous and contented. The time is coming when Nebraska will be in much the condition that Wisconsin was 40 years ago, unless Nebraska begins now to conserve fer tility by diversification and putting back into the soil the constituents taken out by constant cultivation. That, after ali, has been the great lesson of this trip. Whiia it will give a great Impetus to dairy devel opment, it is going to give an even greater impetus to diversification, to smaller fnrm units and conservation of soil.
