AUDITORS TAKE
HOLMES SUGGESTION

At the meeting of the county
auditors of the state, held al Boise
last week, the new form for andl.
tors annual reports as submitted by
Auditor Holmes of this county.
was heartily approved by the state
auditor and was adopted at the
meeting, with only two changes.
Mr.. Holmes spent considerable
time in working ont the form, which
covers many items which have
heretofore not been taken into con.
slderation by the auditors 10 making
mp their annual reports. The only
objection to the two items ellminat-
ed from the form by the auditors
was tnat il would require too much
work to produce the information
called for and that the Law did not
require the items to be shown.
These sections as drafted by Mr..
Holmes referred 10 school and road
districts an1 provided that the
report should show the amount of
money received and expended in
each district during the year.
The adoption of the form, practi-
cally as drawn by Mr.. Holmes. was
hign compliment to him, espe-
cially from the fact that he is now
only serving his second year in that
Office.

HOlIOMlng IA an extract from tne
report OF the Chief of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry for 1907. Thos,
interested in the dairying possibil-
tiles of this country should read il
carefully, as il contains some valu
able information and it is written
entirely from an impartial attitude
on the question.
A special investigation has been
made of economic and commercial
conditions in the creamery business
and information has been secured
showing that there is practically
q monopoly on this industry in some
sections, while in others the husi-
ness is largely conducted on a co.
operative basis or there is far
competition, the result being thai
under the latter conditions The
farmers are receiving from TO 8
cents q poun0 more for their butter
fat than in territory controlled by
the monopoly. This difference is
due partly 20 the methods of the
so-called scentralizers" aud partly
TO the inferior quality of the butter
produced by those concerns. because
the cream Is collected over = wide
territory and much of il is received
in 9 stale condition.
That very large percentage OF
the butter found in the market IL
below grade; selling for less than
market prices for fine batter, and
that the farmers in a very large
area OF butter-produeing territory
receive much less than a fair prlct
for their product, are both matter,
of record. That the losses from
these sources amount to millions eI
dollars annually to the farmers Of
the country is easily demonstrated,
For convenience in designation,
the creameries are divided into -four
classes Cooperative creameries ar,
owned and operated by the patrons
