Effort Will be Made to Have Law
Passed Preventing Discrimination
by Larger Creameries.

WATERFOWL, s. D., March H.--(Spe-
cial 1.-The second annual convention of the
South Dakota Dairymens and Butter
makers association was in session In this
city yesterday The election of officers
one of the first things on the program, re-
suited in f. H. Baldwin of Belle Fourche
being elected president; c. H. Winn of
Castlewood, vice president, and A. p
Ryger OF BroolSings, secretary-treasurer
The two first officers were reelected.
In a general discussion of how the small
creamery man can compete with the central
plants, it was decided to make an effort
at the next session of the state legislature
to have a law enacted to prohibit large
dealers paying more for cream in one To-
cality than in another. 1t was stated that
the large dealers were inclined to pay high
prices where a cooperative creamery was
in operation where In localities where these
plants had been shut down, prices much
lower were paid.
A special committee composed of p. A.
Zollman of Alexandria, c. H. Wlnn OF
Castlewood and A. Yeamans of Clark was
appointed to take UP the matter of having
steps taken toward the enactment OF a law
that will protect the small dealers.
Tuesday evening the delegates were the
guests of the local Business Mems union
at a smoker ana lunch.
The North American Storage company
has started excavation for a new $4,000
creamery, which is expected to be IN opera
ton early this summer. The company has
operated a branch here for a number of
years, but has outgrown the present build
ings.
