The plan follows:
Tho pan - which the Anderson

aontials. provides:

rious associations the business will be
managed with the maximum of effic.
'ency and economy. to the end that the
guarantors shall incur the least prac-
ticable risk and the dairymen earn
the largest profits.
The First Step.
The first step. that of instituting a
dairying industry in n given town.
consits in forming an organization of
Its businesS men to constituteja guar
antor's association for the purpose OF
giving good and sufficient security to
the banks for whatever advances of
| funds may be necessary to finance the
undertaking. The farmers who wish
to engage in dairying make application
TO the guarantors' association, which
through itsN members being personally
acquainted with the character and re-
sposibility Of the applicant may
Choose good men and thus keep the
element OF risk at minimum. The
gGarantors' association may properly
have one Of the local bankers and the
commercial secretary as its officers,
to provide that it's activities may be
given the greatest practicable safety
and service. After the guarantors'
association has chosen such applicants
as can be depended on to care we'll
for their cattle and conduct their op-
erations along the lines known to give
the best results. they sign as security
upon the farmers notes, bearing, say
per cent interest upon which the
banks advance the money The farm
ers furnish the guarantors with addit-
ional security, If circumstances re-
quire 1t. The notes may provide that
the dairy checks be paid through the
banks and that SO per cow per month
be charged of, or other arrangements
fair and suitable for all narties nt in
terest be carried out, until the notes
are paid and the responsibility of th.
guarantors Is extinguished. The guar:
antors should have a committee char
ged with keeping in touch with the
business end OF the undertaking from
inception to conclusion, and the farm
er should be required as a condition
of their receiving and keeping the.
cattle to fulfill certain requirements
as to feeding and keeping records of
the performance of the individual cat
tie as a. milk and butter fat producer
No farmers application should he
considered who will not also agree to
put up ailo. the same to be financed
with the purchase of the cattle, since
sileage feeding Is so large factor In
successful dairying. The requirement.
must also be made that the dairymen
should use pure bred bulls for breeN-
ing purposes of any recognized dairy
breeds.
Purchase of.Animals
After the guarantors' associations
are formed and arrangements for fl
naneing made on suitable guarantees
from the farmers as 90 growing suffice
lent feed and observing the REQUIRE
ments of un-tc-date dairrIng, .hc latter

Anderson Chamber of Commerce with

the U. 8. Department of Ayriculturs
