DAIRYING IN IDAHO HAS GREAT
FUTURE

A speaker accompanying the Wis
consin dairy special, which has just
completed a tour of south Idaho
made the encouraging statement that
there is no danger of Over-prOductlOn
of dairy products in Idaho. While
there are but $4,000 COWS in Idaho,
the speaker said that there are two
counties in Wisconsin, each of which
has more than that number of COWS,
and several counties that have more
than 100, 900 cows. The state of Wis
consin, he said, has 1000, 900 dairy
COWS and the demand for dairy pro-
ducts is increasing more rapidly than
the production. He estimates that
his will be so for many years.
The consumption of ice cream alone
has increased 25 per cent in the last
few years, according to the Wiscon-
sin specialist, due largely to a cam
paign of advertising. The consump-
tion of all dairy products is increas-
ing and will continue to increase. A
great movement to encourage greater
consumption Of cheese is now going
forward and will lave a beneficial re-
suit. The consumption of cheese in
the United States has been about Jour
pounds per capita. In Switzerland it
is 80 pounds per capita e year 1t
is believed hat in a very few years
the consumption of cheese Ion will
reach II pounds per capita in the
United States, an increase of 200 per
cent. Idaho can profitably keep as
many COWS as Wisconsin (~2,000,000)
and the state now has but 10000.
The danger of over-production is de-
cades in the future if it ever comes.

Going somewhere has become a
mania. The automobile has promoted
the wanderldst a thousand times.
Along the highways you may see a T
from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Is this passion for going taking away
the charm of home life? The home
charm takes lots of time and lots Of
work. To be a mere drudge at home
is one thing; to be always on the

ANOTHER EUROPEAN PROBLEM
When we get the world court, one
of the first perplexing questions to
come before it may be how to stop
the growth of population in Ger
many. There is danger that, what
ever is lone in a military or an econo-
mic way to stop the march of the
Germans to European supremacy,
they will at last attain the victory
through numbers.
At present the German birth rate
is exceeded only by the lamb record
in Idaho. France has expanded her
territory but her population is not
quite holding it's own. Meanwhile the
Germans, in restricted territory, are
a population, which, unless
other nations row to offset it, will
into possession of Europe
through sheer weight of numbers.
The world court can construe
and enforce international
but what can it do with a peo-
pie that is bound to flow over arti- /.
fetal boundary lines and, though for |
come into possession blood
Iessly of a continent?-Statesman.
