thing else that might knock
out the crop, there is still the
bunch of faithful COWS doing
business every day, and nice
check from the creamery every
month for the cream. Then
there is the skinned milk to
be fed to chickens, pigs and the
calves, which is clear gain.
We may be wrong, but it is
our firm belief that this country
has got to quit raising so much
wheat and pay more attention
to diversified farming, and
nothing would be better than a
creamery. This paper would
be pleased to have suggestions
on this subject.
