.CREANRYMEN
HOLD BIC MEET

"A largely attended and successful
meeting of the members of the A. &
M. Cooperative Creamery was held
at the College, Tuesday morning, Jan.
70, 1920, about sixty members hear
ing an inspiring talk on dairying
from Prof. j. S. Moore, of the A. &
NJ. College Dairy Dept, and a highly
satisfactory report for the years sue
cess from DR.. ]. w. Crumpton, man.
ager of the creamery.
The past years board of directors,
W. II. Sudduth, Paul Castles, d. D.
Rartness, j. M. White, and Prof. J.
5. Moore were unanimously re-elect-
cd, and the years report submitted
during the business session.
Hon. G. Ode Daniel of Starkville,
one of the most prominent lawyers of
the state, and who is deeply interest
ed in all that pertains to the developl
lnent and upbuilding of the county,
gave a most interesting and helpful
talk on the work of the Creamery, as
lie appreciated it, pointing out the ad-
vantages offered dairymen in this
county in having the Cooperative
Creamery, which has maintained an
average price to members of from
six to eight cents pound more than
any other creamery in the state for
butterfat.
Mr.. Daniel showed how the Cream
cry, as successful proposition, was
an encouragement to farmers in this
vicinity to start in the dairy business,
which is one of the most profitable
lines of farm endeavor.
= Prof. Moore, who is credited by the
members Of the Creamery, and those
familiar with the origin and develop
ment of the proposition, as being one
of the hardest workers for, and stan
chest supporters of the Cooperative
Creamery, made a pointed and help
full talk on the importance of increas-
ing the butterfat production during
the winter months, by winter feeding,
and proper care of The stock.
The coming years program, decid-
ed on at the meeting, which was the
most largely attended in four years,
is aimed to stimulate production, by
increasing the membership of the or
ganization and by increasing the pro-
duction of butterfat per member.
The News is keenly interested in
the creamery and its work. 1t seems
to US that the one fact that it's mem
bers derive a price from six to eight
cents greater than is paid by any
other creamery in the state fro but
terfat should be inducement enough
for every dairyman in this county to
send his cream to the A. & M. Cream
cry. A. & M. butter brings better
price than any other Mississippi but
ter, and to maintain this record the
Creamery must, and should have the
support of every dairyman in this
section.
The A. & M. Cooperative Cream
cry stands as monument to cooper
ative endeavor. 1t is a successfully
operated plant to which every citizen
this county may point with pride.
But as one of the members told the
News representative today, "we've
not quite as proud of it as we should
be-"
The dairyman who ships out of the
county to privately owned cream
cry is serving his community poorly,
to put it gently, and with the local
Creamery in which he becomes par
ticipant, and an owner, paying more
than any other Creamery, he is cut
ting himself off from considerable
profit as we'll.
The A. & M. Cooperative Cream
cry is going out after more members.
1t intends to encourage dairymen,
large and small, and to help them get
the most for their product. You
dairymen, nearby who are not men,
bers, should start shipping to A. &
M. now. Get in line. Help your
section of the state and yourself.
