Show THE IDE TO DO during the past week buyers have been going about in this community purchasing cows for shipment to other localities not a few purchases have been made and the cows were loaded upon the cars and shipped out ot of the county it may be that the particular animals shipped out were more ot of a liability than a resource to the country that could be determined by giving them a test but on general principles it is en wrong to export our cows when dairy industry Is at such a low ebb as at present box elder county needs to import hundreds 0 of dairy cows and it also needs to get rid ot of hundreds of 0 unprofitable animals which are now being cared for under the presumption that they are dairy cattle it is just as unwise to maintain an unprofitable cow as it is to do away with a cow altogether but it is a serious thing tor for the county to con dinue to neglect the dairy T industry doii tr ii from a health standpoint we are denying ourselves a sufficient quantity ot of one ot of the best foods which nature e has provided and are thus shortening our usefulness it if not our lives from an economic standpoint this county is losing hundreds of 0 thousands of dollars annually in dairy products which it does not produce and is paying out thousands of oc dollars tor for these same products which must be shipped in to supply the wants of the people so the loss works two ways we seriously need more creameries crea meries cheese factories and especially dairy cows for it we do not have the necessary manufacturing equipment within our own county to take care of the milk it can be shipped elsewhere and be properly treated cows are the first essential and this county ought to have thousands of them |
