In extension of the Government s

Dairy Division of the Bureau of An
imal Industry, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has opened a

addition to these there are now two
dairy division men working in Idaho
in cooperation with the State Uni

GRAFTON with the Agricultural Col
lege, and one man has been assigned
to Utah to begin work there at once
in cooperation with the Agricuitur-

The Secretary Of Agriculture de-
sires to increase this work in the
Western states as rapidly as funds
will permit, providing proper coop
erative agreement can be made.
These men go right out among the
dairy farmers and give them person
al aid in improving their work, in
building silos, in keeping records of
the individual cows to see which are
profitable and which are not, and in
other ways.
In the Southern states, where dairy
ing has been backward, the field men
of the Department of Agriculture
have helped many dairymen to in
crease their profits 200 or 300 per
cent within one or two years, and
at the same time increased the whole

pected that even better results will
be obtained In the west. Nine South

Judge Backus' ruling said:
