NEW MOVEMENT
FOR DAIRYMEN
IN WISCONSIN

York, attorney for the combined Ring
ling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey
shows, is spending a few days in
Baraboo as the circus is working its
way from southern California through
Arizona and other states in that
section. At the present time Mr..
Kelly is deeply engaged in organizing
the dairy business of the state that
the farmers may realize more for
their milk products. The gist of Mr.
Kelly's idea is that there must be a
state organization, similar to the one
in California to handle the fruit pro.
ducts of that state This will require
an organization and this is the process
Of formation.
Waste In Handling
Much OF the dairy products sold at
the present time do not bear the label
OF the producer but the name of the
jobber. Mr. Kelly says this is all
wrong and he proposes to eliminate
the abuse Butter sent from the Elk
celsior or other creamery, cheese
from Peter Bleuer's or other factory
should have the stamp of the maker,
not the wholesaler in some city, is
the contention of the New York for
merly Baraboo) attorney
Wisconsin produces about 20 per
cent of the cheese and one-sixth of
the creamery butter, yet the business
is net on the right basis, Mr.. Kelly

1t is the greatest movement ever

business brains and the biggest class
of workers in the state" Mr.. Kelly.
one Of the principal speakers Of the
meeting, said
Challenge 20 Business Sense
1T is necessary for us to sell Wis

the home of pure cheese and pure but
ter. 1t is a challenge TO our couraga.
20 our business seuse.
"pairying as an industry is not max
ing money 1t is losing money. The
buying power of the dairyman is para
lyzed now. Business must get back of
the farmers of Wisconsin and teach
them how.
Notwithstanding the fact that ag
riculture has the greatest assets in
the world that it has the aid of the
government which has been more
kind to The farmer than to any other
class, and notwithstanding that
agriculture is the greatest industry in
the world the farmer is grasping in
the dark. The most feeble business
management is in charge.

gasoline as the farmers handle milk.
gasoline today would be worth S. a
gallon. instead of being cheaper"
NJ. Kelly saw in the movement an
excellent means of combating radical.
