Mr.. Farmer. il is an assured fact

Mr.. Farmer. il is an assured fact

stock to consume what hay and

those worn-out patches on your

the other fellow comes out before
you take the initial step1 Perhaps
remarking in a casual way to a few
of your nearest neighbors that you
think the whole thing is a humbug
from beginning to end and that you
are going to wait and see.
If you pursue the former course,
the creamery will undoubtedly De a
success and if so a boon to this To-
cality. On the other hand If we
pursue the other course the creamery
may die borning." and il strikes
me that the kicker will be the main
factor in causing its death. We en-
tered into this project in good faith.
Let US keep it by hanging together
and making It a success.
Perhaps the solicitor, through
oversight or lack of time, has failed
to ask you fer your first or second
payment. If so kindly help the
cause along bv handing in the
amount to the treasurer and taking
a receipt for same.
While l feel that I am safe in saw
ing that the directors have had much
TO contend with. I believe that
they will DC proud 70 present the
creamery to the public, when com
pleted; and that they will be able to
show value received for every dol
lar expended. I will also add that
the board has not contemplated le-
gal proceedings as might have been
inferred by some from your editori-

stock will be paid in due season and
are in hopes that the creamery will

Explains the CftamGy Situation.
Editor The Gazette,

Editor The Gazette,
Dear Sir:-It has benn rumored
hat there is some dissatisfa ction ex.
pressed by few of the stockholders
OF the Williamsburg Cooperative
Creamery Co. at the slow progress
made so far in the contraction of the
plant. Perhaps a few words of
explanation viii not come amiss. at
this time.
This has been an exceptionally
bad year for the farmer, so far. Fl.
nancially. The potato crop banked
on by so many in many instances
was failure. Excessive rains have
increased the cost of labor in the
cultivation of the crops and as we
all know, labor demands cash.
Therefore it should be apparent to
US that some of the stockholders
who went into this organization in
whole-hearted way. have been hand
|icapped to such an extent that it has
been impossible for them to meet
their payments when they fell due,
as agreed upon. This failure on
their part to pay promptly has been
a serious drawback, as in many in
stances the cash was essential before
We were justified in doing business.
And vet after all have we missed
anything by not having the cream
cry in operation by about July 1st
as some had anticipated Would
the amount of milk received at that
time justified US In starting the
lescamery In opentons think not.

This has been a busy week with the

the result shown by the count today
