IMPETUS GIVEN
 DAIRY MOVEMENT GREAT SUPPORT PLEDGED Interested Crowd Hears Practical Dis. cussion-Next Meeting at
 Club Saturday.


 rooms of the Conway Commercial Club, when the movement was given a decided impetus. Over 75 farmers and others interested in the develop ment of the industry were present at the meeting, and the speakers who presented the subject from all angles were not only accorded closest atten- tion, but were questioned on details not brought out. A temporary or ganization was formed and a second meeting set for Saturday, December Is, at 1:30 in the rooms of the club. Suggestions that a longer time elapse before the second meeting were re- jected and it was set for the earliest possible time.
 The temporary organization is head ed by R. L. Folts as chairman and Charles Lienhart as secretary. The zeal of the officers was proved this morning when they were seen at work on enlisting others in the movement which promises so much for the city and county.
 Those attending the rally heard dairying presented from a practical standpoint. P. r. Cleaver, president of the club, presided and detailed the purpose of the meeting. It was stat ed that 120 cows have been listed on the canvass by the clubs dairy ex- tension committee, and this number is estimated as only one-t third of the to- tai which can be listed as soon as farmers of the township have all been seen. As the milk station can be opened with a minimum production of 100 gallons daily, the goal of the move ment is not far in the offing. The report of the extension committee was given by o. $. Russ, it's chairman, other members being County Agent T. M. Williams and Mir. Lienhart.
 MT. Williams told of his experience in dairy counties. "Dairying results in happy and contented people" MT. Williams said. He declared the pres ent depression makes now the oppor- tune and logical time for launching the dairy business as means of re- pairs of incomes torn down by the de- | iline in cotton.
 Production of dairy products was the subject of F. B. Woodley, dairy ex- tension specialist of the University of Arkansas. He advocated herds as a side line on the farm because of the regular cash income which it will af- ford the year round. He declared that no particular breed of milk produc- ing cows is essential to successful dairying, the chief thing being the selection of good breed and it's de- velopment. On the subject of rations, MT. Woodley advised that the cows which give the most milk be given the most feed, an application of the rule that cows as well as humans must work for what they get. Butter fat, he said, is largely determined by the care and attention which cows re- ceive. At the end of his address, he called for questions. Many were ask ed and answered.
 J. w. Hand of Carlisle, president of that city's cooperative dairy asso- ation, spoke briefly, but was asked many questions which he answered from his experience of 16 years in the business. At Carlisle, the farm CTS own and operate their own sta- tion and contract for the sale of dairy products at the best prices obtain able. He said that on the market now, four per cent milk brings $4 per 100 pounds, which equals 30 cents net to the gallon. Use of the cooperative association as a marketing agency IS limited to members, he said.
 The benefits to be derived from a cooperative marketing association were emphasized in the address of J. M. Wright of Little Rock, federal marketing agent for Arkansas. MT. Wright told of results achieved by dairy farmers at St. Paul and Min neapolis. All stations, equipment and big ice plant are owned by CO., operative associations there and a business productive of great revenue built up. The same is true of dairy farms near New Orleans, MT. Wright said He expressed his great interest in the success of the movement in this county, and asured the organiza- tion that he would return at any time he could be of assistance. MT. Wright will attend the second meeting and will submit a model constitution and by laws for cooperative asso- citation.
 Three short addresses concluded the meeting Dr. A. w. Rice, federal ir- spector for the county, spoke of the ,,aoosc;+v of tick free cattle if the industry is to be developed. w. S, Cazort spoke for the business men of the city, who approved the industry as productive of revenue. Frank Farris, vice president of the Farm CTS State Bank, assured the meeting that every possible aid would be grant ed by the banks of the city, which re- gard the dairy industry as one which has a great future in this county. .x11
