MANY ATTEND The
DAIRY Meeting
Listen to Talks of 0ut-of-Tow Men
Who Have Had Experience in
Cows, Sows and Hens

The meeting of ranchers of the
Mountain Home district interested in
dairy program, which was called
for Tuesday afternoon at the court
house, was largely attended, and
much interest displayed.
R. e. Sheppard of Jerome was un-
able to be present, much to the re-
gret of all, but fine talks were made
by H. A. Mathiesen, who presided
over the meeting, D. L. Fourt, state
field dariyman of Teton county, c.
G. Gignoux, agricultural supervisor
of the Union Pacific, with headquar-
ters at Salt Lake, and Reid Murray,
secretary of the Wisconsin Livestock
Breeders association.
Mr.. Mathiesen was the first speak
er of the afternoon. He stated that
it was with a great deal of pleasure
that they would be able to hear the
talks of the men who knew condi-
tions in the dairy industry. He
quoted some facts in dairying as ap-
pertaining to Idaho, then introduced
Mr.. Fourt, who told of the rapid in
crease in dairy products in Teton
county and spoke favorably of the
establishment of cheese factories. He
advocated the building up
of the dairy herds around Mountain
Home by the use of good bulls, and
stated that it would pay out big. He
cited the magnificent record Of the
Teton county ranchers, who had
brought that county out of the kinks,
and were now reaping the harvest
Of steady income from dairy incre-
ment.
He was followed by c. c. Gignoux,
who started out by saying that many
people thought that the railroad
people thought that the railroad COM
pany was taking an undue amount
If toll from the producers for freight.
This, he said, was not the case, as
he railroad was charging the small
est amount possible for moving prod
1ets. He urged the ranehers, how
ever, TO try and raise something
which would require small packages
