What Is said to be the most compact and perfectly organized association in Idaho was perfected at Pocatello this week In the Idaho Cattle & Horse Growers' association, with Clay Vance of Dickie, president; Charles W. Tlie baud of Bliss, vice president, ^id L. K. Dillingham of Mackay, secretary-treas urer. This Is the information brought to Boise by Senator Ravenel Macbeth, who attended the conference.

A representa tive of the dairy division spent a num ber of months among factories in Idaho and Montana studying the troubles ex perienced in making cheese of a satis factory quality, and in seeking means of overcoming these difficulties. 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 with'the farmers ' that the company intends to build other factories of the same kind. The factory at Buhl at one time last summer paid for butter fat 11 cents a pound more than was paid in any other market in the same locality, and at no time was this difference less than 6 cents. Owing to an inadequate milk suppl and poor management, there have bee failures of cheese factories In both Idaho and Montana. The'climate and all other natural conditions, however, arc good for a cheese Industry through out Montana and in the higher parts of Idaho. On the intensively farmed irrigation projects the dairy cow fur nishes a good medium, through which to market bulky crogs of alfalfa and corn. ' ! Prices Are Shown. The prices which a cheese factory is able to pay for butter fat, in eOmpeti tion with other markets, can readily be estimated if the price of cheese is known. Milk cheese for each pou^l of butter fat. The cost of manufacture Is about 21 cents a pound in factories of ordinary makes 2.7 pounds of] HAS FAITH IH THE Representative of F. W. Woolworth Company In spects Store Here. C. C. Foster of San Francisco, ac companied by Herbert Spencer Crow-1 ther, came to Boise last night and has made a final inspection of the F. W. Woolworth company's building Just"'at completed and which was thrown open to the public today. Mr. Foster has charge of the building operations for the big firm which runs 5, 10 and 15 cent Btords the country over and in speaking of the store here he states it is one of the best small stores which He paid a tribute also to the con The com the company owns, to the work of Wa.vland & Ecnnell, the architects and tractor, A. S. Whitew.iy. pan.v has expended *10,000 in the re-j modeling of the building it now oc-j ctiples and it is one of the most tractive stores In the city. Mr. Foster, who travels extensively over the country, states that all cities in the northw est are taking on new life and pushing ahead and he declares condition^ ^look good to him in Boise and the company which he represents sees a big future here or it would not have made the investment of going into Noting that Ada county had under consideration the voting of bonds to! cqmplete a good roads system, Mr. Foster declared it should carry. Good roads, he said, are the best assets to] any country and with automobile travel on the Increase yearly, a country with good roads will bring the homeseekers into a territory w hile they avoid sec-j Ilona in which tlie roads are bad. Many people^ he states, are now took ing over the country for Investments in machines, realizing that they can see much more of the country and to better advantage than front a 'train trip with the inconvenience of many stops. California, he stated, last year expended *18,000,000 on good roads and now has a magnificent system, the main thoroughfares being laid out as straight as any railroad line. Asked concerning San Francisco since the fair, he stated the people of San Francisco hardly knew- the fair stopped, that people were still pouring into the city and that the building ac tivity there is greater at present than any normal year in its history. He states that on June 1 an automobile bus line la to be operated from San Francise* to Los Angeles, making the trip in two days, stopping one night at Fresno. The automobile, he declared, has been a great asset to California, and Jje predicts a good travel over the bus line. such fine new quarters.

Cheese at 13 cents a pound would allow the payment of.28.7 cents a pound of butter fat; at 14 cents for cheese, 32.4 cents for fat: at IB cents for cheese, 36.1 for fat; and at 16 cents for cheese, S7-.8 would be paid for but Aer fat. During the past summer great 'Quantities of cheese were sold in the 'Kooky mountain states at « price higher th^n 16 cents a pound, while probably none brought less than 13 cents. __ v In certain localities, some farmers not familiar with cheese factories are ln ellned at first to oppose the Industry because It uses skimmed 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. Wisconsin, Is able to raise excellent dairy cows. The irrigated regions of the west, moreover, produce great quantities of alfalfa, which furnishes a cheap substitute for the protein of skimmed milk for pigs. Experiments by the New Mexico experiment station have demonstrated that where alfalfa pasture i available and corn is worth 80 cOnts à bushel, a hundredweight of Skimmed milk Is worth only 14 cents, ns compared to nearly 30 cents where there Is no alfalfa. It is probable that, with pigs on alfalfa pastufe, whey would give almost as great gains as would skimmed milk. In the flush of the season a cheese factory can be operated economically on 3500 pounds of milk, or the product of about 200 cows. be produced within four miles of the factory, as a longer haul is not eco nomical and Increases the danger of bad milk and poor cheese. A cheese factory to handle 5000 pounds of piilk can This milk should be built for about *1500, including equipment. As so little of the country Is natur manufacture of a iiy suited cheese, and as the possibilities of In creasing its consumption are so great, the department believes that, as a rule, tabiishlng factories wherever tiens are favorable to the development of this industry. to the consideration should be given to es condi Course of Study for Term at the Idaho Technical Institute.
