Creamery Organization Urged to
Meet Here on December IL.

(By Chas. F. Baldwin,
We wish to urge all h farmers and
| their wives in Henderson n Tran
! sylvanla counties to come to the meet
ing on Saturday, Dec. 18th, at the
town hall in Hendersonville to hear
the question of a farmers cooperative
creamery discussed. If this project
can be carried through it will mean
great things to the whole section. 1t
is every mans gain, not the gain Of
the dairy farmer alone. Of course
how great a C it will be de-
/ ponds on the people of this section.
But what has been done in other sec
tions can surely be done here. For
here all conditions r prime Tor
dairylngy and surely We will not grant
that we as a people a not do what
otders have done. 1t would not be
wise nor honest to say that we want
every farmer to be a dairy man, some
people are not fitted to handle the
Inilk COW but can make a success at
scmc other branch of farming and
what a man is fitted for that he
should take mold of. But we want
the interest and encouragement OF
every farmer and every resident OF
the towns to push along this co-Opera-
tive creamery because it will mean
the development of a great industry
and that means money in town and
country; and second, it mea the be-
ginning of a great movement that In
the end must work for the mental,
moral n financial benefit of our Sec
tion-co-operation.
Iii every section where cooperation
has succeeded life on the farms has
been taken from the rut and home
life has brOadened. Pleasure has been
added to the work life; granting sue
cess follows. $50
To every man or woman who likes
COWS and understands their care we
would say that you are needed in this
work. But some say I'VE believe in
it but Will wait n see how it comes
out" No movement can succeed #
that point of view holds. If you be-
lieve in it then have the courage of
your beliefs and put your self or re-
cord with those few who are willing
to risk their Judgment and take the
chances necessary to start what can
net start itself. When success comes
you will be glad to say 81 did my
share"
Some say Il can not afford it."
Now that question each one must de-
eide for himself, but do not let fear
Of risking a few dollars keep your
name off the list OF founders. There
may be a few who can not afford TO
take hold but very few if any. Any
man who has health and willingness
to work can get two or three COWS,

rest. A cow that will not return $500
a month in cream is not fit for any
thing but to beef With the best COWS
} you can afford and an ambition to own
better make the start, The SKINNED
milk is there for pigs or chickens, a
good profit in either, then the calf and
the remain to help on the keen
o; the COW. With cows returning as lit
tie as $500 each a month they would
pay for a share of stock in five
months. Starting in the spring with
the first pastures those two cows
would pay for the stock in not over
five months from the cream, and the
warm milk fed to a litter of pigs pays
during those same months would pro-
dUce some nice pigs for the late sum-
EeT market. In the fall build a silo
end put three or four acres of corn
Il it, hen increase the COWS and find
your income coming to you each
nlOnth n cash too. No more trad
ing a little butter for what you can
get, you cream, milk, pigs and chick
ems are a year around business and
Don the credit method is given up
for a bank account and cash dealings.
Your dealer will be glad of smaller
real profits to large profits and many
bad or slow debts.
An end to hesitation! Do not fear
the risk of a few dollars. If the plan
is good then take hold and put you
little share of time and thought to it.
All push together all consider it an
Individual work and it must succeed.
Enthusiasm, then more enthusiasm,
and continued earnest work and the
job is done. 1t is no time to put off
a good work. More cooperative
creameries seem to start with the
new year than any other time. It
gives a chance to build plans in the
slack season.
Come in and encourage the work,
ana then you will decide to join in. it.
Remember, Dec. 18th, at II a. m.
