NINETEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART VI 375 



me that as our lands get more valuable and I believe that the time is near 

 ■at hand when good corn land will be $500.00 an acre, that the dairy cow 

 will more than ever come into her own and we are going to be more 

 careful than ever as to how we use our feed. It won't 'be long until prac- 

 tically every man in the state of Iowa will realize this. I am glad to say 

 that this year there have bean more silos built in the state of Iowa 

 than any other year. The time is coming when the silos will be just as 

 numerous on Iowa farms as are corn cribs. 



I wish to say just a word about the State Dairy Council and then 1 

 will close and we are going to sell the butter here tonight and I know 

 you will all want to hear the auctioneer. Just this afternoon he sold 

 a quilt for $1200.00 — now that was either some auctioneer or some quilt. 



Now Mr. Munn didn't say to you I think tliat we have an Iowa Dairy 

 Council here. We have the honor of having the first one organized in the 

 states and we are going to get busy and we are going to ask the help of 

 everyone in this state and we are going to work for the good man that sits 

 under the cow and do everything possible to put Iowa the first state in 

 the Union so that when Messrs. Munn and Aiken come back we won't 

 have to apologize — we will be the first state in the Union. I thank you 

 very much gentlemen.
