give careful attention to the product, to receive
the best returns. The dairy herd must consist of
milking stock that will produce a return bringing
profit upon the cost of feeding and. care. It
means the farmer must give all these details at
tention. This is the method followed wherever
dairying has been successful, and there are few
districts where it has not succeeded when the
.dairyman is interested in his business. .
1t seems there has been a lack of the right
kind of effort here or the cooperative dairy would
at this time be a going concern. So many farm
ers are owners of high class pure bred milking
stock in the .GalIatin valley it should not be a
hard task to interest them in the cooperative
dairy. 1t is as Chester G. Davis, state commits
sioner of agriculture, has stated, there must be
dairy minded farmers in this valley of sufficient
number to furnish sufficient milk to a centralized
creamery.
There is but one thing to do. A man familiar
with the cooperative dairy, its method of doing
business and the returns to the farmer, should be
employed to interview all farmers with milk COWS
1t will be a good investment to smploy such &
man to devote his time to securing the requisite
number of farmers in the valley who will furnish
the milk to aco-operative dairy. That is the only
way the matter can be brought to a successful
completion

THE GENOA CONFERENCE.

The Genoa conference will command attention
in the realm of world politics for a while, and the
world in general will hope that it may result in
understandings among the bankrupt nations of
Europe that will aid in the regeneration of that
continent. Lloyd George and the English dele
cation are reported to have embarked for Genoa
with smiling faces. The Russian Soviet delega-
ton reached the ancient Italian city under mill
tary guard and in secrecy. The French govern
ment told its representatives that German repara-
lions are to be excluded as a subject of action from
the conference. The Italian communists began
at once to fraternize with the Russian bolshevists.
America remained out of the conference, as we
understand it, for the same reason that men of
wealth hold aloof from mendicants. A rich man
can hope for nothing from a beggar, so why as
~sociate with him? However, there was another
reason for Yankee non-participation in this con-
ference. BY remaining absent, the United States
does not raise any false hopes-The Helena Rec

COOPERATIVE

Dairy farming in the Gallatin valley is just in
its infancy, with everything before it as a sue
cessful industry. There should be no hesitancy
among the farmers of the valley to take up dairy
farming for nature has provided all the necessary
equipment-except the COWS. Many OF the dis
tricts in eastern states now rated as hughly sue
cessful in the dairy industry started without the
natural advantages enjoyed in the Gallatin val
ley.
A cooperative creamery company has been
formed in this county and for a year the pro-
motors have been trying to interest enough farm
erS in the movement to begin operations. Under
the plan it requires the farmer to sign a contract
to deliver his milk to the creamery which is the
proper thing. Farmers are also asked to take
stock in the cooperative corporation which they
should do. In this manner the affairs of the
creamery will be in the hands of those who are
producing the raw material. 1t will, in that case
be a cooperative institution in every sense of the
word.
From the report made at the meeting held
last Saturday in the chamber of commerce rooms,
it appears that there has not been the interest
taken among the farmers, not enough co-opera-
ton has been evidenced by the farmers, to bring
about the operation of the creamery which today
exists only on paper. 1t is remarkable, under the
circumstances, that the farmers have not entered
into this movement more readily. Beyond a ques-
tion it 3 is the best investment for them to make.
Their profits will be greater from the dairy in
dustry than from any other farm work, in pro-
portion to the investment required.
Dairy farming, it must be admitted, is twelve
month business. 1t is much different than grain
growing, for the dairy farmer must give daily
attention to the COWS he is milking and must also
