EXPERTS WILL AID FARMERS
Department of Agriculture Establishes
a Bureau in Salt Lake City.

Washington, d. C.-The Rocky noun
tain region and states along the Pacific
coast should stop procuring dairy pro-
ducts from the east, and in addition
to producing its own supply it should
begin to help supply the east. The
rich western lands, now that irrigation
is being supplied, produce cheap alfalfa
and other feeds, and this will make
dairying very profitable. Moreover,
dairrying is necessary in order to make
alfalfa raising as profitable as it should
be. The all-important thing is that
as dairying is started in new regions
it should be started right, and the
department of agriculture is helping
to start it right. All the work will be
done in cooperation with state insti-
buttons, and as soon as they are in a
position to carry on the work without
it, the departments aid will be with
drawn.
Center at Salt Lake City.
With the establishment of the new
central bureau at Salt Lake City the
dairy industry of the west is expected
to become a most important factor in
the next few years. There are now
two dairy division men working in
Idaho in cooperation with the state
university, two in North Dakota in CO.
operation with the state dairy commits
sioner, one in Colorado in cooperation
with the agricultural college, and one
man has been assigned to Utah to be-
gin work there at once in cooperation
with the agricultural college. All OF
these men will be directed from the
Salt Lake City office.
The secretary of agriculture desires
to increase this work in the western
states as rapidly as funds will permit
provided proper cooperative agreement
can be made. These men go right out
among the dairy farmers and give
them personal aid in improving theil
work, in building silos, in keeping
records of the individual COWS to see
which are profitable and which are
not and in other ways.
Have Helped the South.
In the southern states where dairy
ing has been backward, the field mel
of the department of agriculture have
helped many dairymen to increase
their profits 200 or 800 per cent within
one or two years, and at the same tim'
have increased the wholesomeness o
their products. 1t is expected tina
Ieven better results will be obtained il
the west Nine southern states whicl
were doing no educational work il
dairying at all when the dairy div
sion began work there several year
ago are now paying a part or all o
the cost of that work, and it is produC
ing splendid results.

John Szmanski, alias JOS. Dorkswo-
ski. was arrested in Indiana Harbor by
Sergeant Barker and Officer Jimmie
O'Connell for attempting to pass a

Co"
When the check was presented to

Germ known as Pipe company" SO
he telephoned the Indiana Harbor po-
lice to come over and take a slant at
the suspect Subotich is husky and
Sergeant Barker asked him to hold the
suspect until his arrival. This was
done
When arrested the prisoner gave his
address as 1892 Baltimore avenue, s.
Chicago. While in the Subotich place

inal intention was suspected, 1t is said
he tried to destroy another bogus check
he had in his possession, but was pre-
vented from doing so by the saloon
keeper. who took 1t from him before he
could carry out his intention.

peace and good will toward all man
kind reigned and when gifts between

aware that there were few things the
| mayor was in need of. The getting

as something that might prove useful
and therefore the most acceptable, and

they had accomplished during the year
| Many other things were said which

but after few moments reflection
arose npbly to the occasion and in
splendid fashion answered his police
chiefs remarks He acknowledged his
total surprise. He said that nothing
