Farmers Will Now Increase
Herds.

Edgar Nichols, practical cream
cry man from Seymour, Wis,
spent several days in town last
week overlooking the prospects
for starting the local creamery.
Before his departure he stated
in an interview with a News rep
resentative, that he had made
a proposition to the creamery
men which had been favorably
received and that he would re-
turn April 1st to start the plant
Mr. Nichol during his stay here
looked the ground over thorolv
and is convinced that creamery
in this locality will be a success
full venture. He states that with
the surrounding districts to draw
from there will easily be enough
butter fat to run on a small scale
at the start Basing their judg-
ment on Mr.. Nichols opinion
many farmers have decided to in
crease their herds next spring
In speaking of the equipment
at the plant, Mr.. Nichol says
that it is a model outfit, well
suited to the needs of this com
munity.
1t is with great satisfaction
that the news of the opening Of
the creamery will be received
after such a long period of mac
tivitv as the plant has expert
enced.
