flied farming and that, ;dailying is
the best resort. The raising of
grain alone makes ii: necessary for
the farmer to do business on a
credit basis. Irregular monthly
income from a dairy would make
it possible for him to pay cash and
thus save a, large per cent on
everything purchased for the
ne~cessaries of life anldimprove-
ments on the farm. He referredto
the creameries in the New Salem
district and the prosperous con
dition of the farmers in that local
ity who receive each month cream
cry checks amounting from S5oto
5000, and stated that these FARMERS
are producing more grain Than
they did before the creameries
started. During the past year
these same farmers received over
100000 in creamery checks.
