That 1b tho logical conclusion which must to drawn from tho rosults of tho quoatlonalro that was aont broad- a coit ovor tho county last wook. So far only 20 ropllos liavo boou ro colrod from BOO (otters, and copies of tho Argus and 1000 or nioro cir cular!.

It, Brolthaupt and W. II. Doollttle, aocrotary of tho Commercial club may hoar from SC or 40 ranchers. Thla may bo doemod a sufficient numbor with which to mako a start, hut thoro should bo at loust 100 rnnchors Intorostod, for thoro aro many times that numbor who have a largo surplus of hay to disposo of. It I Farmer's Problem This question Is a former's prob- lom. It Is u basis Industry which It onco established will bring other dairymen Into this roglon who will supply a stoady market for tho hay growers who themselves do not go Into tho business. Hut a start must bo made, nnd that Is tho reason for tho doslro of tho Farm Duroau and tho Commercial Club to assist In every way possible. Of courso noth ing can bo done unloss tho ranchers themselves want results accomplish od. In Canyon County Idaho, whore ' tho buslnoss of dairying Is establish ed already, 300 farmers attended a mooting last wook for tho purpose of forming Just tho sort of a com pany that It la plaunqd to start hero. Thoro thoy aro planning on a company that will have a capital of 100,000 and bo ablo to borrow proportionately from the war fin ance corporation. 9 Assuranco has been received by tho commutes whlcn has charge of the project of supplying funds to ranchers who want cows, that the co-operativo creamery will take from 30 to 60 percent of tho stock necessary for tho company, nnd It Is believed that no real difficulty will be met In tho offort to secure tho balance. Tho company can be formed and will bo able to function, but tho time Is short for the war finance corporation has' announced that It will not loan funds after July I, 1923. Slnco the company to bo formed will not bo a profit distributing organization, but is merely to be formed for the service It can render, It Is now, strictly up to the ranchers hore to determine . whether or not thoy want such a. company. If they do not, then the farm bureau and the commercial club will let the matter rest feeling I'that they have done what they could to Interest the ranchers and give jhem all tho assistance In their f power.
