446 TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART VI 



Dairy Cattle Congress^ at Waterloo, we found such a marked 

 improvement in the quality that we predicted Iowa had a A^ery 

 good chance to win the Banner at the National Show and later 

 results proved that our prediction was correct. 



I am satisfied that most of the credit for improvement in 

 quality must be given to our creamery operators. We are each 

 year putting more and more of our creameries in charge of 

 wide-awake, trained and up-to-date men, more of this sort of 

 men are becoming interested in creamery work, for the reason, 

 that our creamery managers, directors, etc., have begun to real- 

 ize that they must pay salaries that will attract first class men 

 to this work. 



To become a first class operator, it is necessary for a man 

 to serve several years' apprenticeship and receive some Dairy 

 School training. Helpers, or second men, as we sometimes 

 call them, generally receive small salaries. Dairy School train- 

 ing costs considerable money and good wide-awake men will 

 not spend the time or money necessary to make them first class 

 operators, unless they receive a salary commensurate with the 

 training required to fit them for this class of work.
