A trip over the Boise valley will
show that one great advance has been
made in recent years We do not
know what collected statistics would
show but one will see some four or
FIVE times as many head of cattle as
would have been seen on the same
trip FIVE years ago. With the growth
and development of the dairy indus
try there must come increased and
permanent prosperity and the evil
dence is at hand that the industry is
growing by leaps and bounds. More
and more are our people turning from
the fruit industry to the dairy indus
try. with every assurance that the
change will be beneficial.
