STAR VALLEY WILL BE
BIG HOISTEIN CENTER

The following article. which APP
peared in last weeks Alton Indepen-
dent, was written by NJ. o. Maughr,
formerly county agent for Lincoln
county. What Mr. Maughn says Of
Star Valley would be equally true of
Bear Lake. II the farmers here would
but turn their attention to the dairy
business and the breeding of pure
Holsteins. The article follows:
Star Valley can become the great
Holstein center of the Rocky Noun
tain region If she desires.
She has everything in her favor
including ideal feed and climatic
conditions for the Holstein COW. and
class of people who are wiling to
take on new methods and work to-
ward a definite goal.
Star Valley has made an excellent
start, she has taken the first two
big steps toward putting herself on
the Holstein map. She has decided
upon and adopted one definite dairy
breed, and second she has insisted on
pure bred sires. and record pure
breds at that.
II Star Valley can continue at the
present rate of dairy development.
she will be perfect metropolis for
the Blacks and Whites. and in five
years time Star Valley will be as
we'll known among the western
breeders as Waukesha county, Wis
consin is known among the dairy
men of the Corn Belt region.
Adherence to but one breed; the
use of none but record pure-bred
sires; the testing of the cows. either
officially or through Cow Testing
associations; the promotion OF Bull
associations, so as to keep all sires
until their daughters come in milk,
and also to decrease running expens-
es; the constant culling of the non
profitable cows and selling of the
same not to dairymen but to the
butcher; the constant testing for
tuberculosis; the consistent treat
ment and eventual elimination OF
abortion; the maintenance of a
strong Holstein association; and
the sale of no females, except board
ers, until 1928 or 1924, at which
time a strong and consistent adver-
Using campaign will be launched in
connection with other organizations
which will be willing to help, will
put Star Valley at the top. Then the
ever ready purchasing public will
flock to Star Valley to buy what
they have been wanting to buy for
scores of years. Star Valley will
then come into her own. and will be
the richest valley in the Rockies.
And If she will then see that only
good and clean cattle are sold to the
buyers who come in, she will live as
a Holstein center indefinitely and
reap that wealth which is awaiting
the section which will do this con-
sistent work.
