There was considerable discussion
over the size nd type Of the building to-
be constructed and this was finally left
to building committee composed Of the
present board members to investigate

building committee will report at a. spe-
cial meeting called of all patrons. Of
the creamery at Cumbersome hall on
Tuesda.,: October II. go,
The 1l!5n Dale creamery was organ
lied II years ago and has been one Of
the su~ cessful cooperative creameries
Of the state. They paid 8. per cent
dividend the first two years and nearly
Is per cent dividends for the last nine
years, said j. j. Jacobson, who has
served as OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES since the
organization was started eleven years

Mr.. Andrew French, formerly dairy
and food commissioner and at the pres
ent time with the Cooperative Dreamer
les Insurance Association, emphasized
the great need of a community interest
in the successful operation Of any CO.
operative enterprise. IA man should
look farther than the convenience the
creamery affords him for the market
| II Il, L. ~
from the standpoint Of building up his
community and leaving something for
future generations to work with, - said
Mr.. French: .,o ..,.-e..,..- .'-'4 "
The dairy farmer i; not feeling the
pinch Of the credit situation as much
| as the grain farmer The banks are in
much better condition in dairy districts.
The federal reserve banks are more
willing to advance credit to their mem
Der banks in dairy communities than
those localities depending entirely upon
| the sale Of grain for their income.
County Agent Campbell supplied fig
ures to show that the Elm Dale cream
cry could be built within two or three
years with the increased amount they
would receive for butter fat over the
practice of selling at the average cream
stations. Quoting figures from A. J. Nc
Guirc dairy specialist. which showed
that the average cooperative creamery
in the state Of Minnesota pays Sin
cents above the average cream station
Mr. Campbell said it would be possible
for this creamery with it's annual run
Of 100000 pounds Of butter to save be
| tween five and six thousand dollars an
nually.
The Elm Dale creamery is increasing
it's production and in the nine months
of the year 1921 showed an increase OF
! 1000 pounds over the first nine months
Of 1920. An increase Of 10000 pounds
of butter this year was predicted by
Mr.. Jacobson, the secretary, had the
fire not destroyed the plant. However
provision is being made to give the
best service to the patrons and cream
will be received Tuesday, Thursday ane
Saturday forenoons at Elm Dale anc
will be hauled by truck to Upsals
where it will be manufactured in thu
Upsala creamery.
