Dairy Cow Will
Add Riches to Till

The farmers Of Iowa and Illlnois
buy much of the Colorado alfalfa and
willingly pay from sls to go per ton
for 1t TO feed TO their cows because II
Is one OF the 6est butter producing
feeds known.
Over four millous OF dollars worth
of dsiry prod9sss were shipped into
Colorado last ysAr and much Of these
products come fid8 she states where
Colorado grown alfalfa is selling for
from sIs to $40 per ton while the Ar.
kansas Valley farmers only receive
from q to " per ton.
II this product is worth $40 per ton
In Iowa to feed TO dairy cows there
is 90 reason why 1t is not worth as
much right here In the valley except
that we have not the cows.
With splendid home market for
every pound OF good butter we can
produce and with our facilities for
producing the best feed 10 the world,
~ there 10 any good reason why the
farmers OF the Arkansas Valley should
not go Into the dairy business we can
not find IL.
The state OF Iowa has more than
five hundred creameries In operation
and during the entire year 1918 the
butter made was sold at an average
price OF a3. 92 (or nearly 3l) cents per
pound at y. factory. Not more than
90 per cent W this butter was butter
fat, the remainder being moisture and
salt, therefore the thrifty Iowa far
mers actually received nearly SIC per
pound net for their butter fat for the
entire year.
This explains why they can afford
to pay $40 per ton for our alfalfa, but
there IL no reason inithe world why we
should not manufacture this butter
right here In the valley and turn our
alfalfa hay into butter which will
surely make it worth as much per tun
at home as in any place 10 the United
States.
All we need is the cows and the
butter factories both of which should
be owned BY the farmers themselves
80 that every dollar the cream and
butter fat ia actually worth may re-
main in the pockets Of the men who
produce them.
