CREAMERY
ESTABLISHES MARK
Wisconsin Concern Pays Patrons
Million In Year; 2,554,6O9
Pounds of Butter

Barron. Wis.=The Barron Co
operative creamery, the largest of
its kind in the world, has broken it's
record both in the number of pounds
of butter made and the amount it
has paid it patrons. The number
of pounds made in 1923 was 2,554,-
600 against its previous record of
2.5O7,3O8 in 1922. The amount
paid to its patrons for butterfat was
S1,054,4O6,16, against $~977,550.56
in 1920.
The creamery received 7,094,31O
pounds of cream in the year, paying
an average of S.5191 per pound for
2,O71,O68 pounds of butterfat.
The cost of hauling the butterfat
per 100 pounds was an average of
$1.49.
The Barron creamery has a but
termilk -four factory in. connection,
receiving from sale of the butter
milk and flour, $12,619.73. This is
one of the Is creameries in Barron
county besides "A cheese factories.
The Barron Cooperative Cream
cry company was organized in 1902
doing its first churning of butter
March II of that year, when two
tubs of butter weighing 100 pounds
we're made and shipped. This ship
ment sold at 27 cents per pound,
where the average per pound for the
year 1923 was A cents.
The foreign trade in eggs con
sists in eggs in the shell and in pre-
served eggs, such as egg yolk, egg
meIange, and egg albumin. The
principal feature of u foreign egg
trade in 1923 is the great reduction
in imports of eggs in the shell, the
quantity having dropped from 1,O19,

OF BUTTER
QUADRUPLE EXPORTS
Foreign Cheese and Egg Receipts
Also are Heavy, With Gains
During 1928

Imports of butter into the United
States in 1928 amounted to 23,741,-
514 pounds and exports of butter
from the United States to 5, 845, 514
pounds, compared with imports of
1922 of G., 957,159 pounds and ex-
ports of 1O,937,519 pounds and
with imports of 1921 of 1888, 1888
pounds and exports of 8,014, 1877
pounds.
Denmark was the largest source of
butter imports followed by New Yea
land, Canada, Australia and Argen-
tina.
The largest foreign markets for
American butter in 1923 were Mex
leo, Panama, Cuba, Haiti, the West
Indies, Peru, Honduras, almost four
ffths of the butter export Of the U.
S. going to these countries. Ex-
ports of butter to England dropped
off from 3,663,775 pounds in 1922
to 3O9,171 pounds in 1928, due in
part to increased imports into Eng
land from New Zealand and nearby
European countries. There was al
so a reduction in 1928 Of about 900,-
900 pounds in the butter exported to
Canada.
Cheese exports in 1928 amounted
to 8,331,321 pounds, valued at ST.
179,367, which was 1924, TAT more
than was exported in 1922, but was
3,44O,65O pounds less than was ex-
ported in 1921. and about half that
exported in 1920. Most Of the
cheese exported went to England.
More cheese was imported in 1928
than in any previous year, the guam
tity reaching 64,419,788 pounds, val
ued at $40, 887,656. Our largest inn
ports come from Italy and Switzer-
land and most of the cheese import
ed consists of varieties not made in
the United States.

DAIRYING NOT OVERDONE, WILL HELP
MONTANA AS 1T DID WIS. SAYS BANKER

B. G. Edgerton, of Oconomowoc, Wis., who is. interested in this com
munity through his connection with the First National Bank of this city,
and who keeps in local touch through The Herald, has sent Sol interest
ing clippings and accompanied them by a letter which briefly states his
views on dairying in this section. The clippings furnish statistical proof
of the strength of the market for butter, cheese and eggs and the won
derful posslpnntilss OF cooperative darymg as II is carried on IN Wisconsin
Mr.. Edgertons letter and the reprinted articles follow:
Editor Wolf Point Herald.
Wolf Point, Montana.
Dear Sir
The enclosed bit of information relative to the darying industry of
Wisconsin and the statement of the amount of butter imported int the
United States, in addition to the enormous quantity manufactured here,
may interest your readers, since diversIhcatlon OF crops 0 western farms
and the desire Of the progressive farmer 20 get hnmsefo onto cash basis
with the help If his mich COW is uppHmost IN III minds.
A glance at the figures given will assure the most skeptcal that the
business of producing butter and eggs in the United States is not over
done. and that there is al enormous field still open for those who wish to
go into it.
It has never been my idea that the western farmer should go elabo-
ratay int thu production of milk; my observations during many years
Of close contact with dairy farming leads me to the conclusion that it
should never be undertaken on a large scale by any but skilled people; and
that it is much better for the beginner to have a few native cows at first
and work gradually lnot the business rather than go into it without proper
housing facilities for his cattle and a reasonably near market for his pro
duct.
The success achieved at Barron, it should be remembered, has taken
about twenty years, but the conditions under which the farmers labored
who opened that part of Wisconsin, we're far more difficult than the open
ing of western lands, for it was timber country, which first had to be
cleared before it ws disable.
The soil is especially adapted to plants of the clover family, but no more
so than the fertile valley lands around Wolf Point that will produce sweet
clover and alfalfa in abundance.
The first requisite for successful dairy farming is a nearby and ready
market; let the towns furnish that, and the farms will do the rest.
Yours very truly,
B. G. EDGERTON.

Concerning
St. olaf Choir

The St Olaf Choir made its second
appearance at the Murat Sunday
afternoon. Last year this choir made
It's first local appearance here and
the result was inspiring.
Yesterday another concert made UP
of sacred songs ranging from Brahms
to arrangemtns of Medieval hymns
and up to modern composers like
Rachmaninoff was given. Also sew
eral original compositions Of a Very
high order by F. Melius Christensen,
leader of the choir, was on the pro
gram.
The choir is composed Of about
sixty boys and girls. Christensen
seems to have perfect control Of the
singers and their work was absolutely
fiawless. Eevery number on the pro
gram scored, and was fully appreci-
ated by a large audience.
It is a wonderful thing for the
public and st. Olaf College Of North
field, Mimi, to make a tour Of the
country and show everyone what can
be accomplished by patient work.
