THE IMMIGRANT PROBLEM IN
THE COLLEGES
Social work among immigrants is
assuming speck! importance as a
college subject, according to the Bu
reau of Education of the Department
of the Interior. Fourteen institu
tions are now offering special courses
which treat 'the subject of immigra
tion, though few of these have as
yet given mucOt attention to the
practical problem of what to do with
the immigrant as a man and a citizen.
Sixty-nine institutions treat the sub
ject incidentally in connection with
courses in economics, history, and sociology.

summer of 1915. A representative of
the Dairy Division spent a number
of months among factories in Idaho
and Montana studying the troubles
experienced in making cheese of a
satisfactory quality, and in seeking
means of overcoming these difficul
ties. '
. In Idaho, very successful factories
are now in operation near Boise 'and
BUhl. At Boise a large co-operative
company owns two cheese factories
and one creamery. The cheese fac
tories have proved so popular witfj
the farmers that the company intends '
to build other factories or. the same
kind. The factory at Biihl at one
time last summer paid for bnter fat
11 cents a pound more than was paid
in any other rrfarket in the some lo
cality, and at no time was this dif
ference less than 6 cents.
Owing to an inadequate milk sup
ply and poor management, there have
been failures .of cheese factories a
both Idaho and Montana. The cli
mate and all other natural conditions,
however, are good for a cheese indus
try throughout Montana and in the
higher parts of Idaho. On tlhe inten
sively farmed irrigation projects the
dairy cow furnishes a good medium
through which to market bulky crops
of alfalfa and corn.
The prices whidhi a' cheese factory
is ohle to pay for butter fat, ia com
petition with other markets, can
readily be estimated if the price of
cheese (Is known.. MUk makes' 2.7
pounds of cheese for each pound of
butter fat. The cost of manufacture
is about 2 cents a pound in factories
of ordinary size. Cheese at 13 cents
a pound would allow the payment of
29.7 cents a pound of butter fat;t at
14 cents for cheese, 32.4 cents for fat;
at 15 cents for cheese, 35.1 for fat
and at 16 for cheese, 37.8 would be
paid for butter fat. During tho past
summer great quantities . or cneese
were sold in the KocKy Mountain
States at a price higher than 16 cents
a pound, while probably none brouglht
less than 13 cents
In certain localities, some farmers
not famililar with choeso factories are
inclined at first to oppose the indus
try because it uses skimnned milk
formerly available for calves and
hogs. This opposition is not well
founded, as nearly every farmer in
the great cheese-factory district of
Sheboygan County, Wis. is lable to
raise excellent dairv caws. The ir
rigated regions of the West, more
over, produce great quantities of al
falfa, which furnishes a cheap sub
stitute for the prtem of skimmed
milk for pigs. Experiments by the
New Mexico experiment station have
demonstrated thlat where alfalfa
pasture is available and corn is worth
80 cents a bushel, a hundredweight of
skimmed mflk is worth only 14 cents
as compared to nearly 30 cents where
there is no alfalfa. It is probable
that, with pigs on alfalfa pasture,
whey would erive almost as great a
gain as would skimmed milk.
In the flush of the seiason a cheese
factory can be operated economically
on 3,500 pounds of milk, or the pro
duct of about 200 cows. This milk
should be produced within 4 miles of
the factory, as a longer haul is not
economical and increases the danger
of bad milk and poor cheese. A
cheese factory to handle 5,000 pounds
of milk can be ibuilt for about $1,500
including equipment.
As so little of the country is natur
ally suited to the manufacture of
cheese, and as the possibilities of in
creasing it)s consumption tare so
great, the Department believes that,
as a rule, consideration should be
given to establishing factories where"
ever conditions are favorable to tho
development of this industry.
