bushels OF surplus grain. Look at the
train loads of stock, the a loads OF
butter (and next year the cheeSe),
and the more than 100000 bushels Of
grain marketed at Mott in 1912. These
are what, make Mott what it is. It is
a market for far more than its allotted
distance to next smaller markets. Why?
Its two railroads make competition
that never leaves a shortage Of cars,
that gives the cheapest freight rates
and a competent market where it pays
to sell.
The Creamery.
With it's location and such connec-
lions with the outside world, Mott,
known everywhere as the spot has
not been slow to add to herself every
advantage and enterprise that the
country could support. The Mott
creamery is one of its decided sue
T~cesses. Organized in 1910 as a farm
ers' cooperative creamery, built and
equipped with the best machinery and
appliances that the trade knows and
paid for by the farmers money, it has
always had the complete cooperation
Of the whole community and has sue
ceeded from the first. 1t has run at
full capacity summer and winter since
opened in April, 1911. and that has
been increased with the demand. The
past year has, with the steady in
creas been the banner year. Over
$18.500 has been paid out in the past
year to the farmers for cream and
many pounds of butter have been made
and shipped for eastern points. The
number of cows is increasing every
year and the territory which finds it
advantageous to patronize this mon
maker for the farmer is increasing
steadily. The town feels it's growth
directly in increased cream checks and
the possibilities of the country along
that line are Just appearing.
Mott Equity Exchange.
The other main source of income in
the agricultural country is the grain.
AT Mott we have taken all that has
been given in four line elevators and
the prices that they can give, which
are good, competing on both roads as
they are, but we have more. The
Farmers Equity union has Incorporated
as the Mott Equity exchange and has
erected at Mott a new 10000 bushe1
elevator, which bought and sold a
~ as much grain in the past season as
