' To say that Mr. Hansen is well E leased with tha improvement he, found I conditions ever those of a year or so ago is but patting it mildly, and he says that Mr. Clawsoa waa similarly leased aad more than aver Impressed ita tha wonderful possibilities of the state as a dairy product producing center. . si as Big roaatbuiua. ' "Dairying can bs made on of ths greatest industries of the state," ssid Mr. Hansen, "if we ean but get the farmers to realise what they can do along sock lines with a little eare aad iudgment ia tha matter ef feeding and reeding. I am glad to say that ths people np ia tha Cache county are beginning to realise tha possibilities pos-sibilities of dairying, and aa a result they seem to be mora prospermia tbaa ever before. Several persons np there told os during oar recent trip that they are en re of $250 or $300 every month jnst from their dairy products. 7 his being the ease, they ara more content and can afford to worry lass regarding crop conditions and harvest time prospects. "Thla increase la the versa of cow Product Is due largely to the fact that armers. are learning that it pays to feed ths animals grata aad balanced rations, that iat- chopped corn and wheat or bras, along with tha other food. Tha results speak for themsalvea, and though Utah farmers have been backward ia taking up this brsneh of farm life, they aow seem to realise tht benefits which accrue from suck ears snd tha output of dairy product la being be-ing materially increased.

"One concern la Carh valley has shipped ia fifteen carloads of shopped feed for its eows, s that will give aa idea of tha way they are taking to the proposition, bow that it haa been started. " A sot her feature aot te be over-looked over-looked ia this eonneetioa is that of eare ia tha breeding of animals. This phase of the agricultural industry of tne stst is also being gives more attention at-tention than it was formerly aad the quality of stock generally ia improved thereby. For Instance, an Caehe ral-1-t firm sold eight head ef full blooded olt.in cows for '000 last week. - A f -serai iraprovemeat ia aoted also la t a quality of tha Jersey stock. "It was Interesting and aaeoaraging to notice also ths gsaaral improvement in ta appearance of the dairy barns , and surroundings. More atteatioa is . b-ing paid to tai feature tbaa ever before, and it is a good indication of the renewed interest being taken ia the dairying features of.farm life throughout through-out tha stste. This ia nadoahtedlv one ef the most Important featureaof farm life and if we caa teach the farmers to take advantaga of it, it will be to their own benefit nnd to tha benefit of the state at large. "It ia a erying sham that Utah doe not stand at the head of dairy producing produc-ing states, and I believe it eaa be made to do so if the termer will study p a little aad work aeieatiflcally and carefully. A eomparieoa af remits be-tweea be-tweea earelssa work and careful work ia the matter of feeding and breeding will aooa show th advaatagee of the latter." . |
