ADVANTAGES OF THE DAIRY
INDUSTRY IN IDAHO y 9 cREcc

That Idaho has great possibilities
from dairy standpoint is generally
conceded By experts, due to its mild
climate, its pasture and feed advan-
tages No clearer conception OF this
state from dairy standpoint has ever
been given than that of o. C. Gregg, a
former resident of the great dairy state
of Minnesota, given in paper read
before the Idaho state Dairy assoca-
ton. Minnesota is known as one Of
the greatest of dairy states, but in Ida
ho it has a superior. according to Mr..
Gregg. His paper is as follows:
What do l think of Idaho as dairy
state, looking at it with my Minnesota
experience?
Now, in the first place, | want ii dis
tinctly understood that l do not come
To Idaho with the idea eff slamming
Minnesota. Minnesota has been an ex-
ceedlngly good state to me. and | know
the many things | have done in that
state have brought me pretty near the
70-year line, and | am a pretty old fell
low at that. / am enjoying old age,
and so i do not allow anybody to call
me old. ! am 20 years young. So let
it be understood that Minnesota has
made a great record in my days. You
know that Minnesota has eXceled par
ticularly in the dairy line. Minnesota
has been winner at all the interna-
tional dairy shows and has always
been in for her share of first premiums.
so ! am not here to apologize for Min
nesota by any means but | can. with

Livestock Industry

4 complete history Of the agricu,-
tural Developments Of any common
wealth or community would not he
complete without review of the live
stock interests
The western states including Idaho
have long been noted for the impor-
lance Of this branch of agriculture
However, until recent years, these in
terests have been confined almost ex-
elusiVely 70 range stock
But a rapid change is taking place
in the method of handling stock, as
well as in tho character of the stock
which Is found west of the Rocky
mountains.
The small-bodicd range sheep, yield
ing small quantity of inferior wool
the branded horse, of uncertain breed
ing, and the range steer, has practi-
eally passed into history. going out
with the Indian, never to return again.
Idaho can justly boast of her great
wealth in timber and mineral re-
sources, which can hardly be dupi-
Gated in any like area on the face of
the earth: but above all these in i'm
portance, are her agricultural posi-
hilities, and ehiefest among these are
her livestock interests.
Grazing Lands in North.
In the north are large areas of tim
Der land, which, when the timber is
cleared away, will furnish grazing

essary. As a rule, the rainfall Is suf-
fieient in this section of the state to
keep vegetation fresh the season
through. Dairying and stock raising is
already assuming considerable i'm
portance III the northern part of the
state. In Nez Perez, Idaho and Latah
counties the Importance of the live
stock industry is yielding a large in
come To stock raisers The Gamas
prairie and Nez Perez country alone

each season. The vast prairie and
meadow lands Of Kootenai and Bonner
counties are capable Of supporting
large numbers of cattle and horses

very great proportions in this section
Of the state, due largely to the fact
that the best sheep lands are not yet

acid They tell us that the soil In
Idaho is rich in phosphoric acid, almost
superfluously rich. You cannot say
that of the soil of Minnesota, Iowa, or
Illinois. What does phosphoric acid
do? 1t makes the corn in the head.
Where we lack this important element

not get the full head. Here in Idaho
You have this in the soil and that is
why YOU raise so much to the acre.

homes in the country where before
only tho jaekrabblt ard coyote could
subsist.
Sheep on the Farm
In addition to the range sheep. we
have room for a million sheep on the
farms. where conditions are most
favorable FOR their growth and devel-
opment.
The opportunity for producing good
pasturage for sheep on the irrigated
farm is most attractive. Blue grass,
white clover, orchard grass, clover and
alfalfa, and many other forage plants,
are grown successfully in most sec
lions, and with the abundant water
supply, will produce pasturage for
sheep which can hardly be equaled in
any section of the country. Good
shade can be furnished in a short time
by growing locust, maple, cottonwood
and poplar trees. This is great adj
vantage to the industry, for the mid
day heat Is somewhat discomforting
to sheep. The nights are always cool
which is favorable 10 animal growth
as well as To the comfort OF human
beings.
Early Lambs.
No state offers better conditions for
early lamb production. A dry climate.
never severe, and good feed for ewes
are among the first considerations, and
these we have. Market facilities are
good, and growing better each year

point by point
Now. first of all, let us compare the
climatic conditions. Recently l re-
eslSed letter from my brother in my
old home, where | have lived for Is
Years. in which he said that recently 4
train went through our county seat and
never knew it until they had gone 10
miles beyond. The wind was blowing
40 miles an hour and probably that day
the engineer could not see the tender
of his engine fer the snowstorm, and
the conductor could not look through
his windows, so 1t was not surprising
that they went 10 miles beyond the
station before they knew it. Now this
Is an extreme, of course, but even with
these conditions Minnesota succeeds in
dalrying. We are aware of these con-
ditions in that state and we have to
fight against them. Our stables must
be built with this always in considera
ton, consequently they are built tight
and warm, and while they may not be
conducive to the health of our COWS
we have got to continually zig-zag in
our work. But we succeed in spite of
these difficulties and | am citing this
instance in the interest of those meet
ing in new state for the development
of the dairy industry Compare this
condition of affairs with what YOU have
here in Idaho. and you can readily see
what wonderful advantages you have

and | hope that my experience may be
to your mutual benefit, that | may show
you what my purpose lie.

Before l came to Idaho | spent some

bushels of wheat to the acre, and oats
running up TO hundred. When

good foundation for real dairy stock.
What we need in this state is not so
much the dairy COW, but more good
dairymen. and yet, there is not a large
per cent of people that make good
dairynen. i Is necessary that the man
be in sympathy with the COW il he is
going to succeed in the dairy business.
and what we need is more interest in
the proper care OF the dairy COW The
farmer owning cows should realize the
difference between cattle raising and
the promotion of the dairy industry
He should first realize that there is no
branch of farming that can be made to
pay such enormous profits as dairyng
and the man who will make specially
Of II can make more money than in any
other line OF farming So bear in mind
what have said about Idaho. and don't
forget what have said about the dairy
industry.
