Holstein breeder PROGRAM HELD ATBLUEBIR ol Cache Coun- ty met Wednesday at the courthouse with John T. Quayle, president In charge. H. A. Mathieson, western representative of the Holstein Friesian association, talked on the dairy situation. He pointed out that prior to 1930 the Los An. pries market was absorbing about 20,000 head of dairy cattle a year. Last year they used 8.000 head. Out of that number Utah supplied 3.379 head, more than any other western state except Oregon, showing that we have as good a market as there Is for all of the surplus dairy cattle that we can produce. He pointed out the Importance of continuing the production of high class cattle, the kind that Loe Angeles is after. To do this the best way la through good bulls. He urged the Importance of spring shows and said that there will be a great many of them held throughout the western states but a great many of the state and district fairs are being discontinued GEOEGE H.

Assistance of Governor Ross was asked by the group to secure them an opportunity to participate" in , drafting the legislation by which a state election will be held to name delegates to the constitutional convention acting on the repeal pro. posal. Rev. C. E. Burgess of the Boise First Christian Church said he hoped whatever action was taken' time will be allowed for & campaign. Governor R06S said he planned to transmit to the senate and the house as soon as it arrived the resplution adopted by Congress. R. M. McCracken, former congressman from Idaho, estimated the special election calling the convention would cost about $100,000 to which the governor replied that he opposed any additional expense on the counties but felt the peo-p- el have a right to vote on tliia question. The papers say there Is a move on foot fostered by opponents of the Eighteenth Amendment to ask delegates to attend the state constitutional conventions without having their way paid, Rev. Mr. Burgess said. That would give op. portunity to forms of corruption by permitting wet interests to pay these expenses. I hope, replied Governor Ross, that we won't elect anybody to the conventions who can be corrupted by such a small sum. An organization known as the United forces of Idaho was formed with a plan, as explained by Rev. Hugh L. Fouke, pastor of the First Methodist church of Boise to unify all forces against repeal and conduct a statewide movement for education and agitation on the repeal ques. tion. riculture under the late President Calvin Coolidge. Mr. Jardine was a student and later a pro. fessor at the Utah State Agricultural college.
