The Creamery Meeting.

ucJGtdL Lue COURT mousse IOQlV III
| the interest Of the establishment
of a creamery in this city should
be largely attended, aud the pro
ceedings will doubtless be Of
great Importance to the people Of
the country for many miles
around. The Herald has at many
times in the past set forth the
desirablity or just such a move
ment ae that which is contem-
plated by those who have been
most active in bringing this
meeting about, ard it cannot but
be gratifying, to the people of the
entire district tributary that the
movement has attracted the at
tention that it has up to this time.
The establishment Of a creamers
at this po,nt will do more to pro-
mote the interests Of both far
mers and merchants than would
the expenditure OF a similar sum
+ in almost any other enterprise.
It is foregoEe conclusion that
that the farmers Of the. valley
must abandon the raising Of
wheat as their sole or even their
principal means Of making a liv-
ing. Wheat can be grown here
and grown well, but the people
in the newer portions of the state
can raiseas much wheat per acre
or more, on land WHICH costs but
a fraction OF the value Of the lands
in this section. Wheat will con-
tinue to be raised indefinitely,
butin connection with other crops,
and not as the chief industry.
Those who are the best posted
on the situation are satisfied that
the welfare Of the valley counties
particurlarly is more intimately
connected with the dairy indus
try than any other. It is true
that IN past years there have been
.creameries in the state. and that
in some cases they did not prove
successful. There was one il
this city, and it was not a, profit
able enterprise, But the condi-
tions have SO changed since tha;
creamery was iii operation that
there is no comparison between
the creamery of ten years ago
and one of today. There are
ten cows today where there was
but one at that time. and this will
make the collection Of cream a.
very different matter. Then the
use Of the small separator has
,ntirely changed the character
of the business. Instead Of
cream being sent in which has
been put to raise in all sorts of
places and under all sorts of con-
ditions-some of them not very
appetizihg the milk is put
through the separator at once
after milking, and there is no op-1
portunity for the accumulation
Of dust and odor which was COM
mon under the old system.
The large central creamery is
preferable to the small one for
various reasons. The equip
mentof small plant is nearly as
costly as that ola large one, and
the small output must in the one
case pay interest and mainten-;
ance on what in the other is di-,
vided into inflnitesinia1 portions.
The disposal Of offal is an ilnpor-
tant matter, aud this can certain
ly be handled better. in the CITY
than iii the country district.
It is to be hoped thatthe meeting
today will be, productive OF re-.
suits. Grand Forks Herald
