Mcclure, General Manager of
Cooperative Creameries
Outlines Situation
COOPERATION PLACED
STATE FIRST, HE SAYS
Implores Farmers TO- Continue
to Make Minnesota Butter
Finest in the World.
By A. ]. Mcclure

For rs years Minnesota has been
recognized as the greatest butter state
in the Union. Minnesota won this dis
tinction chiefly thr the quality of but
ter produced. Minnesota has made
high quality butter because of its
900 cooperative creameries.
Other states built. cooperative
creameries at the same time Mime
sofa was building its creameries, but
in the other states the cooperative
creameries have been largely killed
off. In Minnesota they have survived
but they are by no means safe.
Twenty five years ago the coopera-
tive creameries manufactured prac-
tically all the butter that was made in
Minnesota At the present timet there
are 1000 cream stations scattered
throughout the state and owned by
the centralizers.
The centralized system is what kill
ed off the cooperative creameries in
other states and they are now making
every effort possible to get control of
the butter industry in Minnesota. To
this end one of. the largest central
izers in the United States has announ-
ced it's plan to establish sweet cream
creameries in Minnesota. It is doing
this in order to be able to compete
, with the cooperative creameries on
the New York and Philadelphia mar
kets where the consumers demand
high quality butter. The centra1izers
have practically all the other butter
markets Of the United States, and
they are now making. drive: to get
these two important markets.
The establishment Of sweet cream
creameries in Minnesota by the CEN
tralizers is putting into effect the
most dangerous weapon the farmers
creameries have yet had to go-against.;
The cooperative creameries in Min +.
nesota have kept in the lead because
they have made better buttr. than.
tn centralizers; but now, with the CEN
tralizers taking the field for high
quality butter, the cooperative cream
cries will have to put forth except
ional effort the hold the ground that
they have made during the past rs
years. g.
The Minnesota Cooperative Cream
cries Association, Inc, has seen this
competition coming, and fortunately
for the creameries it is prepared to:
met it; 355 cooperative creameries
have become members of the state
association, and through this COM
bined power they are going to be able
to wage successful battle.
The association has organized the
