APPARENTLY MANY NOT READY

Apparently" thoro aro not many
ranchom In Mainour county who
want to buy dairy cows. 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!. Thoro U still tlmo to hoar from
many rnnchors, who might not have
rocolvod tholr mall until Saturday
or Monday and havo delayod an
swering, io that porhapi In all
County Agent I. 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.
