The heavy crop of alfalfa obtain
ing throughout the northwest. espe-
cially in Idaho. has given rise to much
discussion regarding a market for the
surplus crop.
The large amount of new land a.
round this. the greatest irrigated area
in the world. and this calls for a big
alfalfa crop for the next two years
at least. and this hay must have a
profitable market if the country is to
meet with the material advance in
welfare that is confidently looked for.
For this reason, Secretary French
of the Commercial Club issmed call
for the farmers to meet at. the rooms
Of the Commercial club on Saturday.
last. and discuss ways and mcans OF
securing marked increase in the
number of dairy stock in this .',m-
munity.
Some forty farmers answered the
call and with representatives Of the
local banks discussed the situation
thoroughly. The banks, always are
ready to help in the development of
the country, have offered to finance
the proposition. The plan meeting
with most approval is that the farm
ers each let it be known just what
dairy stock they want and pool their
interests. sending a competent man
east to purchase the stock. The
banks will then deal with each farmer
individually. lending the cash neces-
sary, and attending to the financial
end of the deal.
About 70 head were signed for at
the meeting Saturday. and is estimated
that at elast 800 head will be brought
in the country. Professor French will
in all probability be the man chosen
to make the selection from the herds
