That Is, wonty-sevent- this city supplies nearly all of its output. About 6,000 pounds of the highest grade of rich cream butter that Los Angeles receives comes from asOgden. The Weber Ceneral Dairy sociation is the shipper. A big victory for the association is that the butter shipped from Ogden scores above 92 per cent, and therefore commands the highest price on the markets in Los Angeles. The success of this new cooperative fanners industry has been brought about through cooperation and team work of the farmers in giving attention to marketing problems. The first has been year of the dairy associationshow records the and that completed, it has paid out to the farmers and dairymen of Morgan, Weber, Box Elder and Davis counties, $265,000 for butter fat This sum has gone into the channels of trade of Ogden. The measure of credit for the success of the dairy association, com- of 500 dairy producers of the Siosed counties, has been due to the efforts upon the part of the farm bureau in organizing the association to bring about better marketing conditions for the dairymen; and chiefly to bring about the development of dairying of the right sort in the community. The first step toward this was tha success that attended the efforts of the farm bureau in its campaign to get the farmers to secure well-bre- d cattle for their dairy stock; to do away with the scrub herds by sending them to the packing plant. The well-bre- d animal, as was shown in the educational campaign of the farm bureau a few years ago, is worth four times as much money as the scrub, because of the increased quantity and quality of the butterfat. As a result of the firm bureaus campaign to introduce d dairy cattle into the community, it is said that more than 500 stock that farmers have well-bre- d compares with the stock in any dairy cor-ne- rs s ej-y- driv-llarg- e s g Purchase of lleywood Properly at Washington and Twenty-fift- h for Office Building Reported Pending Ten-Stor- y That thc I'nion Pacific Railroad system has again renewed it inveti- gut ion of the matter of thc purchase of the I Icy wood corner at Twenty-fift- h street ami Washington avenue, iiion which it will build an eight-stor- y office building, i the report that has gained wide circulation in the city during the post week.
