Miss Alice Anderson, sister of the

SMALL cREAMERlEs
SHOULD COMBINE
Says N. p. Mortenson at NlceIIet
p County Dairy Meeting.

Says N. p. Mortenson At NlceIIet
County Dairy Meeting.
Hand separators and the automo-
bile are revolutionizing the creamery
business in Minnesota, according to
M. p. Mortenson, head buttermaker
In the state creamery. and who is
former Cokatoite, having been butter
maker at the Stockholm creamery in
recent years.
Addressing the midwinter meeting
Of the Nicollet County Creamery and
Dairy Association, Mr.. Mortenson as
serted there is small excuse for the
creamery whose output falls below
the 100000 pounds of butter year,
and he urged that small creameries
be consolidated.
He held that scores of Minnesota
creameries were erected when the
plants were dependent upon whole
milk, and patrons had to haul large
quantities of raw material daily. With
the hand separator in very general
use and the advent of the automobile,
the creamery can serve an increased
number of patrons, and, in many cas-
es, the territory of the smaller cream
| eries is too restricted.
"Under present conditions" he said,
| "cream can be hauled from seven to
nine miles, which means that our
small creameries- should get together
should consolidate. II creamery's
run does not amount to at least 100;
900 pounds year, it has no excuse
for its existence. Below that the OPP
Grating expense is so high that you
can not pay enough for raw material"
This statement drew the fire of Re-
preventative o. A. Swenson of New
Sweden, chairman Of the dairy pro-
ducts committee of the house at the
last session of the state legislature.
"You urge consolidation OF small
creameries," said Mr.. Swenson. do
you think it advisable for the state
dairy department, which has advocat-
ed the building of so many cream.
cries, now to advise their consolida-
tion?"
"That depends on the location and
on local conditions" replied Mr.. Nor
tenson. "Down at Albert Lea we
have been successful in getting two
creameries to consolidate. Three 9TH
ers have absorbed their patrons.
Small creameries, three or four miles
apart. would be far better off to con-
solidate."
"Only a few years ago." remarked
Mr.. Swenson, 1.-The dairy department
sent speakers into all parts Of Min
nesota who contended that, when 1t
was possible to secure IS to 70 pa.
irons, a community could well afford
to open a creamery. In my opinion.
no employe of that department should
advocate the consolidation of the in
stitutions they were instrumental in
establishing. It is question now, not
of too many creameries, but OF too
many patrons who do not take care
of their COWS. You should talk to the
latter"
1T would be boost for dairying,' "
was the retort of Mr.. Mortenson, IT
the small creameries would pay more
for butterfat If the worst comes to
tire worst, they should consolidate.
There is no excuse for a creamery on
every quarter section: creamery
must have a certain volume Of bust
ness to justify its existence.-Cokato

ROSERERY'S WORDS OF
WARNING.

What wiser words could the Amer
lean people listen to at this critical
period than those whoch Lord Rose.
berry spoke incidentally, in a speech
recently delivered, about the likeli-
hood and danger Of our entering into
a policy Of preparation? It is nothing
short of Stiffness to accuse man like
Lord Rosebery of having any other
purpose in view than the welfare Of
the whole world. He is q profound
thinker, an able historian, great man,
one whose career shows nothing that
is mean or narrow. He is Liberal,
in the best sense of the word, a broad.
minded statesman with the democratic
vision. To attempt to minimize the
earnestness and seriousness Of his
words, as some newspapers have done,
by implying that he spoke as a mar
row-minded Englishman wishing all
countries save England to reject mil
itarism, shows that the writer's have
no knowledge of the man.
To the honor of the newspapers,
however, be it said that they have
given wide publicity to the speech,
| whether or not they agreed with it's
sentiments. It is well that thousands
of Americans had thus the opportun.
ity of reading this utterance of great
and friendly statesman in support OF
| what many Of US believe to be the
truest patriotism.
But the main thing is that our peo
pie, regardless Of the author, should
ponder the words for what the words
are worth. Let us read them again
They can not be printed or read too
often.
Il know nothing more disheartening
than the announcement recently made
that the United States-the one great
country left in the world free from
the hideous, bloody burden of war
is about to embark upon the building
of a huge armada destined to be equal
or second to our own. It means that
the burden will continue upon the 9th.
er nations, and be increased exactly
in proportion to the fleet of the United
States. l confess that it is a dis.
heartening prospect that the United
States, so remote from the European
conflict. should voluntarily in these
days take up the burden, which, after
this war, will be found to have brok.
en-, or almost broken, our backs"
Lord Rosebery is not the only
statesman of foreign lands who has
looked to this country as the hopeful
field for the development of new and
truly democratic policies, one of which
would be freedom from the stagger
ing burden of permanent militarism
Since the foundation Of this Union OF
States, the statesmen Of all countries
who have believed in popular govern
ment and human rights, have looked
to us to come out and dare to be diff
ferent from other nations, and thus
to lead in new and better ways. Are
we to turn back and simply follow in
the old steps of militarism and mar
rowness, along which have fallen sc
many nations and civilizations? Are
we to decline the opportunity of set
ting the new example which the ma
lions need? If we do, we shall pre-
sent the most gigantic example which
