DAIRY EXPERT SEES
 GREAT FUTURE FUR
 SALT RIVER VALLEY

W. J. Wolford. the Pacific coast manager for the Sharples Cream sepa- rators, has been spending several days in the valley looking over the dairy situation.
 In an interview with Mir. Wolford, il developed that he has visited prac- tically all the principal dairy sections of the United States. and Is thorough ly posted, regarding dairying and the dairy interests. He speaks very highly of the progress that has been made in the valley along the dairy lines, but thinks that q great many improve ments are needed.
 Climatic and other conditions cer tainly are very favorable here for the development of the dairy business, ac- cording to Mir. Wolford. and he pre- diets that dairying will continue to be the principal business in the valley. The dairy products are being used more extensively each year and there seems to be always q shortage in the larger centers of population. with which the enormous production has utterly failed to keep pace. This has resulted in high prices and there is no question but what today the dairy farmers of the entire country are the most prosperous of any class.
 The thing that Mir. Wolford thought the iairymen Of this valley were par ticularlv lacking in, is dairy equip ment In order to be able to produce clean sanitary milk. the dairymen should be equipped with an abundant supply of hot water. and the proper machinery for thoroughly sterilizing his dairy utensils. Cement floors in milking barns are almost a necessity from the sanitary standpoint. Mir 1 Wolford remarked that a great many | of the dairymen are equipped along this line and no doubt the rest will be- come so as they feel that they are able to meet the expense.
 | MT. Wolford dosen't believe in stringent laws. as usually they work | a hardship on a great many dairy | men who can not afford the extra | expense of properly equipping He | thinks that as a rule dairymen are a very progressive class of people and take pride in fixing up their dairys | in sanitary way as fast as finances will permit.
 In speaking of dairy equipment, NIT. ' Wolford did not fail to mention the fact that Ezra W. Thayer keeps on 1 hand a very complete line of dairy utensils together with a corps of com petent employees who are always will ling and anxious to assist in solving the many problems of the dairymen.
 Incidentally MT. Wolford mentioned the fact that MT. Thayer is his agent for the famous line of Sharples cream separators and milking machines and constantly carries a large stock on
 hand. Mir. Wolford explained fully
 the principles of their new suction feed cream separator. It seems that
 it skinms clean without the necessity
 of turning the separator up to full
 speed. in other words careless opera
 tion of the machine does not resul,
 in butter-fat loss which seems to be
 the case of all other type of separat-
 ors. He stated that this machine will
 skim as close when turned thirty five
 revolutions per minute as when turn
 ed sixty revolutions. and, at all time.
 an even density of cream The bes
 authorities ciai mthat this feature
 will result in d saving very often equa
 to the price of the separator in 2
 single year. over any of the othe,
 make of machines.
