People and Events in the Dairy Science World

Pioneers in the Dairy Industry

EDWARD K. SLATER, chairman of the editorial board of the Olsen Publishing Company and editor of Olsen Publications for 32 years, was born in a log cabin on a farm near Northwood, Iowa, on June 28, 1877. He attended country school and went to high school for two years at Fairmount, Minn. During those early years he worked as a farm hand, taught country school, and got his start in the publishing business as a printer's "devil" and later as a full time reporter on the Fairmount Daily Sentinel.

In April 1898, as a member of the Second Regiment of the Minnesota National Guard, he was sworn into service as a second lieutenant in the 12th regiment of the Minn. Volunteer Infantry.

After he was mustered out of service at the close of the war, he took the job of helper in his brother's creamery.
