compiled from the data bearing on

was said was that there is an abund-
ance of sentiment favoring every pos
sible effort to estab blish a creamery,
and also great confidence that the
local situation warranted the effort
and could be made to result in sue
cess. Such an institution, it was
shown, would be of economic and |
financial advantage to the people of

ng to enlist the people behind it,
