Concerning the Dairy Industry

In his annual report, the United
States Secretary Of Agriculture de-
liyers himself on the dairy industry
after this manner:
Dairy farming is Increasing In al
most every section OF the country,
largely because II Is the most eco
nomical form OF agriculture SO far
as soil fertility is concerned. Dairy
ing is also growing because dairy
products are an important part of
our food supply. Most OF the cheese
In this country has been made In
the territory around the great lakes.
where climatic conditions are favor
able to the handling OF whole milk.
All the valleys in the Rocky Noun
tain section offer splendid opportun-
titles for cheese production"
To all OF which We give hearty as
sent and we might also state further
that some of these valleys are ideal
ly adapted TO the production OF but
N'It VI 'ouI'hHth mum VI any oti'l
dairy product. and the highly es-
toemed secretary of agriculture is
not the only eastern man who has
called attention to that fact. In fact.
the very first thing that impresses
itself upon the mind OF the outsider,
who knows anything about the es-
sentials necessary TO successful con-
duct OF the dairy business. is the
fact that we have, in the entire Ar
kansas Valley. the best climate, the
best feed. and the best all around
conditions for the economical produc-
ton OF all dairy products. We are
able to raise as much silnge per acre
as any other state In the union. Our
alfalfa sells to eastern producers for
f25 or $50 per ton. II II is worth
that much to them. IL ought to be
worth practically that much to us.
The fertility would remain on our
own farm, instead OF going to en-
rich eastern lands. and We would
have considerably more money. But
the best argument We could produce
in favor OF this valley as dairy cen
ter Is the fact. that II has been an
unqualified success everywhere II
has been tried out up and down the
valley.

\ Days Work ON the Farm

Every farmer needs to have an
idea As TO what constitutes a day S
work In each OF his operations, so
that the annual work may be planned
intelligently and carried out on
time. In order to obtain results from
hired help, 1t is necessary to know
what each man and team should ac-
complish daily. The same knowl-
edge will serve to prevent the over
crowding OF horses and men beyond
reasonable amount OF service.
Where hired help understand that a
fair and definite amount OF work
not In excess OF what can be per-
formed day after day. without in
juring health or efficiency. is nor
mally expected, the relation between
them and their employer Is better
and more satisfactory.
Compensation can also be asked
and paid for on the basis Of this rea-

The decrease In the number of sheep

that the price OF these animals would
remain away up for another year or
so and furnish a source OF profit to
those who desire to enter into the
business OF raising them. on the other

in the increase of beef cattle. as the
