In addition to the play itself, sew

Gathering Of
Buttern1akerS to Be Held
in the City Friday Night

not in the organization, and the real
purpose of Friday evenings meeting
is to get the creameries of this Sec
ton interested IN the proposition. If
they take hold like the rest of the
state, the cooperative association will
control practically all the sweet cream
butter manufactured by the co-opera-
tive creameries in Minnesota. There
are also a large number of Wiscon-
sin creameries signed up to ship with
the Minnesota pool.
This pooling plan is the same as tn.
California fruit growers and poultry
men, the cotton and tobacco growers
OF the South are working on. The
plan was fully explained by Mr.. Sa-
piro in his address in Sank Centre in
the interest of the potato organiza-
ton a few weeks ago.
The plan of the Minnesota. organ
lzatlon is to concentrate the butter at
St. Paul. It will be shipped east in
full car load lots. The Herald un-
derstands that the railroads have as
sured the Minnesota organization
that they will give them every coop
Grafton, especially as regards the
handling of the butter, and satisfac-
tory freight rates which will be in eff
feet Dec. 1. Butter will be shipped
all over the United States instead OF
dumping it all on the New York mar
ket as at present.
The district organization is headed
by w. r. Linville as president, and
George R. Strauss of Sank Centre is
secretary. Mr.. Strauss and Field
Agent Mortensen of the Minnesota
Cooperative Craemeries Association
are working out the details for Fri.
day evenings meeting.
