Show MODE FARM PLAN OF LOCAL BUSINESS MEN AS DAIRY PROJECT Arrangements for the purchase and operation of a model dairy unit to be built at the Milford Meadows will probably be made during the next week according to John Coffeen who is leaving today for Los Angeles where he will confer with R. D. Clarke owner own-er of the Milford meadows project. This first farm is to be in the nature na-ture of an experimental station to show what can be done through modern mod-ern and scientific methods of dairying and to stimulate the dairy industry in the valley. As it is planned it will be a Quarter of a million industry, fif teen thousand of the investment will be in buildings, improvements and land, the remainder in livestock. Increase Business If the project is developed as planned, plan-ned, it will provide fifteen men with permanent jobs when the plant is in operation and will bring $5000 a month into Milford through the sale of butterfat, pork and dairy heifers. An increase in the production of the local creamery will result from the production of butterfat on the farm, according to Mr. Coffeen and this will result in an increase of equipment and force at the creamery. Lumber Purchased Mr. Coffeen has already made arrangements ar-rangements for lumber for the farm buildings as he has purchased the Old Majestic Smelter trestle which will be cut into demention lumber and used in construction work on the farm. Bill Martin has been given the contract for wrecking the trestle and cutting the lumber. If the plans for the farm work out smoothely, the plant will be ready for operation by April 1. |
