The Dairy Interests Bright

For some years there has been tendency
to reduce prices of dairy products below a
paying point. and dairymen have felt a de-
gree of anxiety about sustained market for
their products. This year, however, prices
have been maintained more firmly and dairy
men are in better hopes. In Analysing the
causes of the improvement we are inclined to
the opinion that the change for the better
has not been brought about by falling
off of production. but that on the contrary
there has been greater production this year
than in years past. The markets, however,
for these products have been extending and
increasing with the extension of lines of
travel, and the settlement of new countries
and the increased population in our own
towns and cities. No branch of agriculture
in California has better prospect before it
to-day than that of the dairy. The dairy
business, however lacks system in this State.
We want more concentration of interests
among professional dairymen. We want
ali the dairy sections. In this way expenses
will be reduced, and products increased in
quantity and improved in quality. These
Improvements are the only means by which
we shall be enabled to compete with like in
terests east of the Rocky Mountains, and by
which we will bs able to tain the markets
which we have opened up and which natur
ally belong to US. Let dairy men come to-
gether and consider these matters before it be
kOo late

A Good Alfalfa Year,

The present is one of the best years for the
river farmers that has occurred for years.
The water has not been SO high in the rivers
SIS to kill out the alfalfa in the meadows but
has been maintained at a point that gives
constant moisture to the roots. The conse-
quence is that a most bountiful frst-crop of
hay has been made from these meadows. The
hay is of the best quality. and has been gen.
orally secured without injury from rains or
dews and bleaching sun. The promise is
also good for an equally heavy second crop,
and the farmers expect to cut at least four
heavy crops Of alfalfa hay this season from
.heir meadows. Barley on the river border
farms is also heavy and promises good crop,
while the season for vegetables and summer
crops generally promises to be of the best.
