The modern plan for the oreaniza.

the farmers interested to sign an
agreement, specifying the number Of
shares OF stock which they agree to
take at a specified price and the nun,
oer OF cows from which they will
furnish cream. The agreement 10
not bringing unless specified amount
oi STOCK Is subscribed and the cream
Is assured from at least 400 cows.
The shareholders are not required
TO put up the money for their stock
but they sign notes payable to tho
cooperative creamery association for
lhelr shares. These notes are with.
out interest and are not made nnti,
ne required amount of stock is sinh.

'ctofs as collateral security at a local
