ELY SHOWS PRACTICAL
RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED

President Ralph g. Ely. president
of the state fair commission and also
president uf the New Mexico Dairy
mans association, has issued an an
nounccmcnt 10 members of the asso-
citation, Of the appointment Of W. NJ.
lnFersoll. ~ Dcming. as secretary OF
the association.
Mr. lngersoll. a practical dniryman
OF long experience. proposes TO get in
touch with the dairymen Of the state
at once and % begin "a work OF organ
igation which viii result In vast ben
eft not only To daiTymcn bat TO farm
crs. stock growers n the state as a
whole. Outlining the advantages like

sanizntlon proposed MI. Ely says;
There are a great many things that
can be done through community actiy-
ity which are burdensome II % inn
possible individually. For Instance. Re
Gently four practical dnirymen In H.
liaols bought a Hnlstcin bun calf 100
days old for $50. zoe. not Tor adyer-
Using purposes nor because they are
rotten with money from which they
must be separated, but because Il
comes from the strain OF highest pro-
ducers 81 that remarkable creed and
ID viii pay through les calves. There
are few Of our people who can AFFORD
to pay even SlO0 FOR n calf II we
can associate groups OF producers In
various nciEhborhoods together In the
purchase Of a better grade OF bulls
each group can use its male FOR two
years and then pass him on 10 the
next group. -Four associated groups
can in hat way get the use of four
high class animals covering a period
OF eight years at less than the cost Of
"A very ordinary animal. Al the end
Of eight years We will have as fine a
line Of milk stock bred up as any one
| can show anywhere. We can not nf-
ford % go into the market and buy
big producing ows but we can afford
10 breed those we have 90 a high
standard. Even lf We went out to buy.
we could not pick the OPS from tbs
herds OF the older districts for they
are not for sale.
The problems OF markets In thess
lines are forcing attention as In 9TH
ers and this association hopes Ia help
the producer without hurting the mid
dleman and at the same time TO ben
EFT the consumer by giving HIN a

duct. Every dollar paid out for i'm

| every dollar that is paid out for d
New Mexico product stays al home
and works overtime for the up
building Of the farms aad the per
manent wealth OF the state.

their crops barely sustain them. Th'
farm IS the best producer from th'
dalryman's viewpoint. and II our or
