.CREAMER|ES ORGANIZE
IN THE COUNTY.

A very successful meeting was
held in the *. P. hall, last Wednes-
day for the purpose of organizing
Audubon County into the Iowa
Dairy Council OF which the direc-
tors and managers of five creamer-
les were representatives. After
short talk by Mr.. Brownlee, Asst.
State Dairy Commissioner upon the
efficiency Of the buttermaker and
the responsibility that rests upon
him to make the creamery sue
cess, and the necessity of the direc-
tors to stand behind him at all
times. L. P. Townsend of Des
MONIES, Secretary of the Iowa
Dairy Council then spoke on behalf
of the Iowa Dairy Council and pre-
sented to them the necessity of or
ganization that the dairy industry
of this county may be promoted
and protected, and he assured the
audience that it was high time for
the farmers to organize, that they
may get legislation which will de-
fend their interests at Des ssMoines
and Washington; that will promote
and increase the consumption of
dairy products and protect the
dairy industry.
The five creameries represented
at this meeting all signed to become
members of the Iowa Dairy Coun-
Gil for a period of three years.
Creameries that signed were as fol-
lows: Audubon Township Cream
cry, Extra Creamery Company,
Crystal Springs Creamery Of Kim
ballton, Sharon Creamery and the
West Hamlin Creamery.
While there are two creameries
in Audubon County that were not
represented at this meeting, due to
the condition Of the roads and the
busy season, we anticipate that
they will become members of the
Iowa Dairy Council as soon as ar
rangements can be made to meet
with the directors Of these creamer-
les, which are Audubon Creamery
Company and Oak6eld Township
Creamery.
Whenever forward movement
has been agitated in Audubon Co.,
the people. have always responded
and we feel sure that we will con-
tinue to go over the top for the
Iowa Dairy Council.

Their DAYS of Comfort.

We have come to the belief that the
happiest ones in the world are those
who, having experienced wealth and
the intolerable bother of keeping to a
certain standard of fashion and high
living, lose their money and are then
able thoroughly to enjoy the ease and
comfort OF poverty and privation.

CAR OF PURE
, BRED HOLSTEINS AR
RIVED THIS WEEK
Is an Exceptional Lot Con-
sidering Scarcity of
Dairy Cattle

A car load of pure bred Hols-
tein cows purchased in the west at
an average Of $4,000 and distri-
buted among the farmers of the
county at cost by the Farmers
Trust Company Of Newark, the
New Castle County National Bank
of Odessa and the New Castle
County Farm Bureau cooperating
arrived this week.
Considering the scarcity of dairy
cattle and the prevailing high
prices the load included an excep-
tional lot Of mature COWS. The COWS
will average 400 pounds in
weight, are sired by 80 pound bulls
and are bred to record bulls to
freshen this fall.
This will probably be the last
load of COWS purchased by the
banks and farm bureau for several
months as it has become practically
impossible to buy them. Practically
every dairy center in the country
has literally been infested with buy
ers during the last year until the
surplus of stock is exhausted.
Although it will be possible to
purchase a limited number of pure
bred COWS occasionally yet for most
Ipart the dairy business has come to
the stage that farmers will have to
give more attention to pure bred
sires in breeding up their grade
herds and developing pure bred
herds from what few pure bred
COWS they may have.

Club Members Receive
Achievement Pins
Boys Till Gardens in Spite Of Difficulties
Will be Taken on Picnic Tomorrow
to Augustine Beach

While some seasoned Agriculture
lists and some amateur gardeners
have been grumbling about the
weather and the disastrous effects
OF recent rains ,one group Of work
ers grltted their teeth, bent their
back ks to the task before them and
produced bumper crops.
Fourteen boys constituting the
Newark Garden Club tended faith
fully their plots of ground just
back of Wolf Hall and fronting on
Academy Street. Their efforts have
been crowned with unusual success.
Not only have they supplied vege-
tables for their families but have
sold Of their products and realized
i'll some instances as high as $15.
A part Of their produce they are
preparing to exhibit at the State
Fair to be held in Wilmington.
September | to 6.
At meeting held on Tuesday
they were awarded bronze achieve
ment pins. Their work has been OBJ
served with great interest by the
toWnslofk and their achievement
noted by friends who felt that such
industry should be rewarded. Ac-
cordingly Mr. S. j. Wright invited
the boys to be his guests at a picnic
to be given them at Augustine
Beach tomorrow Thursday. Con-
veyance will be provided by Mr..
Wright for every club member who
has the privilege of asking a
brother if he has one. Miss Agnes
Medill, County Club Leader, and
Mrs. 7. T. Martin will accompany
the boys.
Those composing the club are
Lyman Reed, William Rupp, Irwin
Cornog, Wesley Wollaston, John
Morrison, Marion Hopkins, John
McCue, Martin Doordan, Lewis
Greene, Sydney Hoffman, Abraham
!, Hoffman, Edward Kelley, Herman
RenShaw, Carol Bowling, Irwin
Chalmers.
Lack OF funds early in the
spring threatened for a time to
make it impossible to conduct a
garden club this year. The boys.
) however, all of whom have been
members for several years, put up
? such a strong plea that they could
: not be denied. They held bake
last spring and raised money to
5 buy seed and fertilizer and individ-
: ual members financed the scheme
i'll various ways. The ground was
loaned by the college, the State
Club leaders lent aid and encour-
: agement unremittingly and the
result is decidedly satisfactory.'
? Such energy, determination and
= enthusiasm bespeak a thoroughly
: enjoyable picnic tomorrow and
augur well for the future of agri-
/ culture in this locality,
