!. Wants. Sweetest Cream.
Buttermaker Renner is; naturally
hoping that the farmer patrons Of the
Farmers Creamery of Springfield will
make a special effort to bring in the
best and sweetest cream possible, which
will be used in the contest churnings.
That will be doing Just about what
they do at all times, whether there is a
state contest on or not, as the patrons
of the Farmers Creamery at Spring.
field are noted for the good quality of
their cream. Everybody in the
Springfield territory will be sson their
toes, however, to help their butter
maker win the state title this year.
Creamery Makes Gains.
The Farmers Creamery Of SPRING
field has made great gains during the
past year, according to a report given
out last week by E. ]. Starkey,s secre-
tary of the cooperative association Of
farmers operating the creamery. In
June, q year ago, the Springfield
creamery was receiving cream from
207 patrons. This had Increased to
328 in June this year, a net gain Of 121
patrons in a years time.
As Per Gent Increases.
In June this year, 38,494 pounds of
butter were manufa actured as compared
to 26,629 pounds in June last year, a
gain Of l,865 pounds, which reduced
to percentages is an increase Of nearly
IS per cent. The fact that will in
terest farmers more than anything else
about Secretary Starkeys report is
that the cooperative creamery owned
by the farmers themselves pays 10
cents more a pound for sweet cream
and 5; cents pound more for sour
cream than any Of the cream shipping
stations In Springfield. This, it is
pointed. out, shows the value Of Co
operation.
$4,000 in One Month.
The total amount paid out in June
this year to the farmer patrons Of the
creamery amounted to approximately
$4,000 more than, if sold to- shipping
stations. Had all the patrons de
livered sweet cream, the amount would
have reached. $3,849.40s more. than
they could have gotten. elsewhere
showing that there is still room fol
Improvement. This item Of cash
money in the pocket should prove an
Iinducement in getting cream of such
sweetness that, Buttermaker Rennel
can win the first prize at the state fail
lfor Springfield butler.
