The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1923-03-01

duStry, either cheese making or Dut
ter making or selling cream puts
community on its feet, and explaine'
in much detail just how it does it, II
general way it markets tn
products of the farm right on tn
farm, and only the condensed pro
duct Is shipped, the waste being re
tanned to make a farm a bette
farm. 1t solves the question o
freight rates by making it of littl,
consequence. He said the farmer
of Wisconsin are selling timothy ant
clover hay at $40 to SIS a ton an(
buying alfalfa at s25 to $2S for theil
dairy cows, and are making money
Such items as that ought to make
the Idaho farmer pause in his figh
for lower freight rates on his alfalfa
and make him want to market thai
hay at home feeding milk COWS. He
said there is a strip of country il
Wisconsin where they farm and sell
their crops very much as they do in
Idaho, where the dairy idea has not
yet taken hold, and a person riding
thru the state can tell the dairy COM
munities from the crop-and-seU COM
munities by the looks of their place
The dairy people have good build
ings, large barns, modern houses,
and the others have the scanty build
ings and the barren homes.
The meeting ordered that con-
tracts should be printed the next day
and be delivered to the farm bureau
| for passing out thru its organization
to the people who have cows. The
bureau had taken a census of COWS
nd o.
crate two or three cheese factories
within ten miles of Blackfoot, and
men in the meeting from several
communities expressed the desire to
get people together in meetings in
their neighborhOods with contracts
on the table for them to sign if they
chose.
