Show LIONS' LUNCHEON v RESOLVES ITSEF INTO DAIRY BOOST DECISION MADE TO TAKE UP ACTIVE PROMOTION OF DAIRYING MANY GOOD TALKS Active work at building up the dairy resources of Milford valley was urged by Dr. C. R. Parrish, speaking before the Milford Lions at their weekly luncheon Wednesday. Some of the high points of Dr. Parrish's talk are as follows: "Yon all are business men and hence financially interested in the development of this valley. I would like to see the Lions club get actively interested in getting the valley stocked stock-ed with dairy cattle. AI90, you should get out and preach the growing of hay crops rather than seed. All the seed belts of the country, with the exception of a small section of Idaho, have gone broke. This is the greatest potential dairying country in the world, right here. You have had the words of E. C. Schroeder, a successful success-ful dairyman, as to the possibilities of this valley. Here is a rich field, undeveloped, right under your noses, but you sit idly by and are not pushing push-ing the development of it. I have gone into the creamery business on a larger scale than I had expected. I am spending thousands of dollars for equipment. Yet, I believe my efforts will be rewarded, but not until the farmers see the possibilities in dairying dairy-ing and co-operate with me. The hospital I established, operated at a loss for a while, but after I received a little co-operation, it began to make a profit. Now every penny made from that hospital goes into the creamery business. "A few farmers here are shipping cream out of the valley and are getting get-ting two cents less than I pay. I could ship my butter out of here to Los Angeles and get 44 cents per pound for it, three cents more than Salt Lake or Ogden pays. "As to the alfalfa grown here, it has no equal in the United States for producing milk. There should be more of it grown here." Other speakers were called up to express themselves on what they thought of the developing of dairying. dairy-ing. Ross Palmer stated that the seed crop here was very uncertain, and a crop should be encouraged in which there was more certainty. Dr. Kohler said that the people here were not enthusiastic; en-thusiastic; they talk it over but take no action. He believed that an initial initi-al success would bring that needed enthusiasm, as well as in the question ques-tion of getting pavement, selling real estate, etc. Striking examples of what the creameries had done for the town of Beaver were brought out by Al Clino and Henry Bowman. Mr. Cline told of the payroll in Beaver since the establishment es-tablishment of creameries, and that the whole community benefited from it, either directly or indirectly. Mr. Bowman estimated the payroll from dairying in the Beaver valley to be about five "hundred dollars a day. (Continued on last page) LTON LUNCHEON RESOLVES ITSELF INTO DAIRY BOOST (Continued from page 1) D. E. Kirk spoke enthusiastically upon the future of this valley provided provid-ed there were more dairy cattle shipped in. He stated that the bank had made possible dairying undertakings undertak-ings whenever they had a chance, and would back individual cases still further. fur-ther. He believed that there would be more development in the pumping district of the valley this year than there had been in the last five years combined. Each member of the Lions constituted consti-tuted himself a committee of one to take more interest in the farm outlook of the valley; to visit the farmers; and to talk dairy whenever possible. |
