may be signed, if such steps are found
necessary and advisable.
Every prospect" Mr.. Huddleston
says, points to even greater success
for the 1923 pool than the project en-
joyed in 1922. Last year more than.
100000 pounds were pooled. On this,
growers realized from 5 to 8 cents
more than they would have received
had they sold to spectators at shear
ing time.
The new state association will aim
to deal with county organizations, but
where such step is not possible, ship
ments will be received from individual
growers.
Arrangements have been completed
for advancing 70 percent of the mar
ket value of wool upon it's receipt at
the warehouse. This advance will be
negotiated by the manager, who will
charge 6 percent interest on money
advanced until the wool is sold.
Plans for the year call for close CO.
operation between the Minnesota sales
agency and those in other states
where pools are being formed.
AS the selling season progresses
and sales are made, growers will be
given additional installments, as mar
keting conditions warrant.

Northwest Dairy Pros
pect Never So Bright
40 Cent Butter in June Probable,
Says A. ]. Mcclure, Back From
Trip East

Never have prospects for the dairy
farmer been SO bright: This is the
opinion of A. J. Mcclure. general
manager of the Minnesota Co-opera-
tive Creameries Association who has
returned from a trip east. Mr.. Nc
CURE, accompanied by John Brandt
of Litchfeld, new president, spent
ten days looking into dairy market
conditions at Chicago, New York,
Washington and Philadelphia.
"While we were in New York, but
ter was selling for so cents and every
one was talking 40 cent butter lin
June. Stored stocks are low; and
while there has been a marked in
crease in butter production, consump-
ton has grown to such an extent that
the supply is hardly equaling the de-
mand," Mr.. Mcclure says.
A constant improvement in the
quality of butter made by co-opera-
tive creameries is noticeable in East
ern markets.. according to Mr.. Nc
CURE. While he and Mr.. Brandt
were in New York, the office of the
association there made contract for
the delivery of all the butter from one
of the small creameries in the west
ern part of the state, the price being
8 cents above what had been paid.
This higher price, Mr.. Mcclure said,
was due entirely to the better quality
of butter that is being made. This
is an example of what the state as
ISOLATION has been able to do for
member creameries.
Creamery officials are convinced.

covery and the prediction was offered
that those sections soon would be in
better condition than at any time since
the prosperity incident to the war.
Secretary Mellon asserted on re-
turning from his first vacation since
he became head of the Treasury, that
the industrial and financial situation
in the East appeared very satisfac-
tory" His trip included visits to
several important centers and in all
of these he reported he found renewed
evidence of prosperity and optimism
concerning the future.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-04-12

Mr.. Mcclure says, that the time is at
hand for the association to employ
a high class butter salesman to hand
lie the marketing department of the
association. Several outstanding
butter marketing specialists have
been interviewed but no announce
ment will be made until a definite
selection has been made.
The association contemplates open
ing Chicago office in the near flu
ture. The New York office handled
ITO cars in March.
