Largest Cooperative
Plant In The World
|s.me Fact. you Ought To Know
About The Equity Packing
Plant At Fargo

plant at West Fargo, N. D., and
a strong corps Of newspaper men
from every county in the state be-
longing to the Peoples Press assoc.
iation.
The following are some Of the
misapprehensions reported by the
newspaper men which they had
heard in their respective counties:
The Equity plant has no stock
yard.
It is failing and about to 80 un-
der.
It is buying an inferior grade Of
livestock.
It is mismanaged, unsanitary,
and has been known to dump
dressed meat in the manure.
Hog cholera and other diseases
are raging in the Equity stock
yards.
At the banquet at the close Of the
convention, Louis G, Hoopman.
manager of the Equity Co-opera.
tive packing company addressed
the newspaper men on the condi-
ton Of the plant. He stated that
the Equity plant was on a sound
financial basis; that it had already
begun to make money; that it pos
sessed a reserve fund that placed it
on an independent basis so far as
obtaining whatever capital it might
need for some time to meet all poss.
ible contingencies.
Lack Of Labor Only Difficulty
The only difficulties. the plant
Fhas' encountered said manager
Hoopman, was in getting a suffi.
cient number Of skilled workers.
This was gradually being obviated
and the plant was slowly progress
ing to capacity production. La
Dor conditions have changed 40
much, he said, that there is no
question about the plant having e.
nough skilled butchers within two
or three month.
Regarding the supply Of live.
stock and market for the packing
house products, Mr.. Hoopman de.
clared that these were practically
unlimited.
The Facts

about the farmers cooperative
packing plant which should pre-.
vent any further misconceptions:

plant in the world.
It is owned by seventeen thous-
and farmers in North Dakota and
Minnesota, who will supply it with
a large proportion Of the livestock
that will keep it running.

The floor space Of the building
and yards covers four acres.

is !, 200 hogs and 40 cattle daily.
The storage capacity Of plant liz
1000 hogs, 1000 cattle and 5000,
GOO pounds Of cured meats at one
time.
The plant running at full capac-
| |ity will employ 200 men.

more than $500, 600 a year.

prise in.the state.

ments in the packing industry, is
