CORPORATION TO BUY
DAIRY COWS
Six Counties Compose Company
War Finance Board to
Provide Funds.

REPRESENTATIVES from six counties
in southwestern Idaho and Malheul
county, Ore, met in Payette Friday
afternoon and agreed upon the essen
tial details to govern the organiza-
ton Of = livestock loan company. The
Idaho counties composing the COM
pany axe Gam, Canyon, Payette, Wash
ingt0n, Ada and Owyhee. v. T. Craig
Of Emmett was secretary.
The organization Of the company,
to be known as the Farmers Live
stock Company, is for the purpose of
loaning money to farmers for the
purchase of livestock, especially dairy
cattle. Steps leading up to the or
ganization have been in charge of the
Farm Bureau, because the need of
such corporation was sometime ago
visioned by officials of the Bureau in
order to make it possible for farm
ers to secure cattle and thus turn
their hay and grain into Profitable
channels. The company is to have
paid-up capital stock of $25, 600 Each
county is to have member on the
board of directors, except Canyon,
which will have three. Anthony Pet
ers0h has been named as the director
from Gem county.
At the meeting it was stated that
the War Finance corporation would
loan money on most liberal terms
through the company organized, the
minimum being 81 to 81 and the maxi
mum $40 to 81, depending on the Sc
urity offered. The notes will be given
for period of one year only, with
the privilege of two renewals for a
year each. Bankers and business men
have pledged their financial and NOR
al support.
On the strength of the organization
of this company, plans are already
well under way to purchase large
numbers of pure bred dairy stock in
the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Michigan, and a representative
of the agricultural extension division
will be sent there as advance agent
for two or three months to look into
the records of cattle offered by
breeders. AS similar companies are
being organized in other parts of
Idaho, it is proposed that the COM
panies make purchases as unit, thus
preventing bidding against each other.
It was stated at the meeting that
Gem county will need at least 200
COWS. Canyon expects to buy 1900.
Purchasers of cattle through this or
panization will be expected to take
10 per cent of their loans in stock.
