Who wouldn't be farmer?
 Announcement of the latest scicn- tifc plan for co-ordinating the pro- duction and marketing of farm and dairy products was made by the Has sayampa Farms Company yesterday through General Manager Siglcr with the completion of the organiza- tions of the Farmers Cooperative Association of the Chino Valley Thomas F. Wilcox is president of the organization.
 With the object of supplying Pres colt, Jerome and eventually other nearby communities with the clean est, purest and richest milk in the world, the association is planning through the company. to erect A S5,000 Dc Laval plant, open a store in this city and establish q motor truck gathering and distributing sys- tenn that will be second to none in the world in efficiency. The plant, which has already been contracted for will be of the finest, most up-to-dato model Walls and stalls of enamel ware, floor of clean, hard concrete, i' will contain the De Laval system of clarifying. refrigcrating, separating and stcrilizing. So that every drop of mill, that passes through it will live up to the guarantee that is going to be placed on it.
 All COWS in the association-and they number every COW of thorough bred grade owned on the tract-will be put through new system of care. Beside being kept at the highest point Of cow-hcalth possible, the animals will be bathcd each morning ana night just before being mixed.
 By raising their own alfalfa at a cost of somewhere about 8 ton, the association will be able to cut the cost Of milk to the consumer by at least 20 per cent, according to Siglcr. N the present time, dairymen hcrcabout, are paying around $25 a ton for Salt River valley hay and this fact to. gcthcr with unsystcniatizcd methods of gathering and marketing, is lead ing factor in the present high cost of milk.

 From the scientific barns, the milk will be sent through the scientific plant and then packed in scientific cans for transmission by a scientific motor truck to Prescott. Here. the milk will be distributed in bottles to regular customers, and sold over the counter at the butter store. Guaranteed eggs, butter and butter milk will also be dispensed at the lown town depot, which will De fitted ID in blue and white like the Fayway stores in Phoenix and the familiar title dairy lunches in the coast cities.
