Cheese factories are now operating
at Blackfoot, Moreland and Firth and
are very successful. Shelley, Aber

Several days were spent in organ

pects to use these organized routes
for future dairy work, such as cow
testing, T. B. testing, and futhering
the dairy improvement project.
The county agent had charge of a
dairy show given in connection with
the Southeastern Idaho Roundup and
Junior Fair. About 60 head of pure
bred cattle were shown including
Holsteins, Jerseys and Guernseys.
Experimental work is being done
with Ladinn clover as a pasture crop
for dairy cattle. The county agent
has induced many farmers to grow
mangles and corn for succulent feed.
