A Definite Prescription.

What is needed in the United States
is, first, creamelies supported by farm
ers working together comparatively to
produce ali absolutely uniform high
grade product; second brand that is
authoritatively fixed only on butter Of
the highest quality after official tests
and grading; and third, a central as
ISOLATION or federation of creameries
that will perform the functions of the
Irish Wholesale society and of the
Irish Agricultural Organization society.
This central federation should control
the branding of butter, possibly under
state supervision; it should respect
and audit and advise with each sep
arate creamery; it should aid in mar
kering the butter intelligently and
economically.

ne Omdgn creamery.
When we learned that the Omagh
Cooperative Creamery system of mar
keting was cutting down the margin
of price between farmer and consumer
was both raising the price to the
farmer and lowering the price to the
consumer, we concluded that it was a
concern worth considering. Even the
accusation that made it possible for
the farmers wife and daughter to get
out on their bicycles occasionally did
not unduly prejudice us against it. The
Omagh creamery is capitalized by con-
tributions from 600 members who in
vested from five dollars, up to $3.50
each. But the voting is not by shares.
1t is on the one man one vote plan.
The five-dollar man votes just as often
and as forcibly as the $250-dollar man.
The members voting thus elect a
board of directors. These in turn have
the best man they can get as manager.
But he must be more than a butter
maker. He must be good business
man and an expert in marketing. No |
matter how much money Is made, it
must all go back to the members in
proportion to the butter fat delivered |
