of good water should be available. A location adjoining a railroad Is of advantage to a creamery doing a large volume of business, but for d smaller plant, in a community such as the Duncan district, if of less value. It may even be found a dis advantage.
 CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDING The inside walls should be smooth, preferably cemented with smooth, hard cement plaster. The floors should be of cement to insure clean Illness and durability. There should be reasonable number of properly screened windows installed, so as to enable the operation of the plant without artificial light. The ventilat- ing system should be adequate to af- ford removal of free steam, to expel foul air, and to help in the regula- tion of temperature.
 THE BUTTERMAKER AND MAN AGER-Too much consideration can lot be given to the efficiency and usefulness of the buttermaker or manager. He should be honest and broad minded. He should have a discerning mind. He should be an organizer. He should be a money maker He should have a fair tech hical training in the manufacture of the products his factory will handle. He is the soul of the creamery. He should recognize the fact that he serves as a mirror in which the pa irons see the policy and attitude of the creamery. He should see that fair and honest weights and tests are given the producers, and be fair and right in all his dealings with the farmers so as to gain and maiitain their respect and confidence. He should know the problems of the producers as well as of the creamery He should be able to give proper advice as to better cows, better feed ing and the care of the products. He should be familiar with the condi- tions which cause cream tests to vary, so as to satisfy his patrons. Above all he should appreciate that the most effective way of securing his patrons cooperation for better cream, lies in his ability and example in grading and caring for the cream properly after it arrives at the cream cry, and in having returned to the producers clean, dry and sweet-smel- ling cans. It is also very important that buttermaker be employed that is expert and careful in his line thus assuring a high class uniform butter to place on the market.
 The climatic conditions of the Upper Gila are ideal for dairyine and there are no reason why a first class product cannot be produced The Arizona market. at the present time, is flooded with butter from states. There is no need of this condition and the dairy farmers and creamery companies should wake up to this fact and overcome it by the producers deliv- ering a first class cream, and by the creameries adopting a grading sys tenn, thus assuring the manufacture of butter of high quality.
 Dairy farming sections are always communities Daily necessitates diversified farm ing or rotation of crops, and leads away from one crop planting, which is the most disastrous type. Dairy assures a certain profit and furnishes a cash income at regular intervals throughout the year. It is a cash business. Dairy maintains and builds greater soil richness and fer tility. It also provides skim milk which is the best feed for raising all classes of young animals
 Very Sincerely yours,
 CLARENCE DANA,
 State Dairy Commissioner.
