Land O'Lakes Creameries
Held Annual Meeting In

Field Manager M. P. Mort

Survey of Activities

Members of District No. of
the Land O'Lakes Creameries
held their annual meeting in the
Community Club rooms, Sank
Centre, Tuesday. The weather and
roads were ideal and the delegates
commenced to arrive early in the
day for special committee meet
ings and consultations on various
phases of the activities of the
district and the association proper,
At II o'clock the ladies of St
Pauls church served bountiful
banquet lunch, and again a light
lunch at 400 p. M, before the
delegates departed for home.
The official business session OPP
ened promptly at 100 o'clock

Der creameries in Todd, Stearns
and Benton counties we'll repre-
sented. After roll -call and read
ing of the minutes of last years
meeting the treasurer, Chas. Lien,
made his report which indicates
the finances to be in good condi-
ton with more than $500 in the
treasury.
M. P. Mortenson, the field
manager, next gave the report on
the years work. The delegates
: were pleased to learn that out of
the 18 districts in Minnesota and
Wisconsin, District No. z has to
date the highest efficiency score in
the Operators Efficiency Contest,
with a mark of 95. 10. This con-
test was started in the beginning
of the year and ends Dec. 81. It
will be a complete index of the
operators everyday working eff
ficiency.
H. Elkjer, operator of the
Bertha creamery, is to date high
man, with a point credit of $3.50
per cent; Martin Okerson, operat-
or of Foley creamery, second,
with 81. SO, and Fred w. Schultz,
operator. Round Prairie, cream
cry, third, with 97.00 to their
credit, respectively. This is the
highest credit system yet develop
ed in the art of buttermaking and
means infinitely more than a first
prize at butter scoring contest
such as has been conducted in the
past based on only one churning of
selected cream.
H. F.. Meyer, manager butter
department of the Land O'Lakes
creameries, was present, and with
graphs and charts illustrated the
steady Improvement in quality
among the member creameries dur
ing the three years of its exis-
tence. Land O'Lakes today con-
trolls 95 per cent of all SO or
better, scoring butter in United
States. 1t has unquestionably
done more to stimulate consump-
ton of butter in this country than
any other agency. Mr.. Meyer
produced abundant evidence to
indicate the tremendous influence
the Association now has in stabiliz-
ing the butter quotations in the
leading butter markets of this
country.
The following were elected as
officers for the coming year: E.
M. Rosenberg, Bertha creamery,
chairman and district /. director
George S. Strauss of Sank Lake
creamery, secretary; Steve Mitch
ell, of Brooten, first vice presi-
dent; j. P. johnson of Glendor-
ado creamery, second vice presi-
dent and A.. II. Gates, of Rice
creamery, treasurer.
The next annual meeting will be
held at St. Cloud, Oct. rs, 1928.

land farmers fall of 1925 against
$4,000 acres in the fall of 1925,
decrease of per cent, according to
John S. Dennee, Federal agricultural
statistician for Maryland in a state
ment given out January 8. Early
in the fall of 1926 farmers indicated
an intention to increase their SOW
ings by 4 per cent over last year.
The new sown wheat began the
winter at 80 per cent of a normal
condition against 81, the ten-year
average of condition on December 1.
To the weather belongs the blame for
the short acreage and low condition,
say the farmers.

NEW YORK, August 25.-The life
history of a man who inherited fame
and fortune, lost both and for more
than a decade held an obscure posi-
ticn as usher in a Broadway theater
stood revealed today as the body of
Murray Roe, So, lay III the morgue
awaiting an autopsy.
Roe, designer Of the Riverside
Drive Viaduct above Grants Tomb
and son of Rev. f. P Roe, novelist,
was found dead yesterday in a lonely
section Of Central Park. the body
propped between two rocks. A few
dollars. a watch and some letters were
all that the pockets Of the cheap
clothing contained.
Inherited Fortune.
After inheriting considerable for
tune from his father. Roe gained
laurels OF his own when, at the age
of 81. he was appointed consulting
engineer of the Riverside Drive
project. For his services it was said
he received $75.000, an amount then
considered quite large.
At the height of his success he mar
ried Miss Frances Doniphan Thorn
ton In 1905 and the guests at the
wedding included many persons Of
prominence. He was a prominent
figure in New York social life until
a year later. Word then came from
California that his wife had obtained
a divorce and for several years his
friends did not hear from him. 1t
was said that he went to South
America, where he lost both health
and fortune.
Death Due to Asthma.
In 1913 he returned, seeking en-
ployment. A job as porter of the
Palace Theater was offered and he
quickly accepted. His diligence soon
won him a place as usher and then
the post Of head usher.
Physicians established that his
death apparently was due to asthma.
Friends advanced the theory that he
had gone to the park and propped
himself up in the cool, secluded spot
because his condition made is impos-
sible for him to sleep while lying

Senator Tells Washington Bus
mess Men Single Relief
Bell Net Enough

Nse',i gton, D. c., Oct. 27.-Leg-
islati demands which are to be
made during the coming session Of
CONGRESS- by the recently formed
group of Western Republican sena-
tors were outlined by Senator Ger
aid p. Nye, North Dakota, in a re-
cent speech before the Washington
Chamber of Commerce.
The west demands more than the
passn~e of single bill, such as the
Nc ry-Haugen bill, Senator Nye
81 adding:
there are such problems as those
involving freight rates, discrimina-
tions in freight rates, inland water
way improvements, permanent inn
provements growing out Of any
flood control program, the conduct of
the Federal Reserve banking sys-
tenn, the administration of the Fed
eral Farm Land banks-all of these
problems bearing directly on the
measure of prosperity which may
accrue to the agricultural states.
"Agriculture's situation today is
most alarming. The solution Of the
problem of the farmers is one de-
serving of the whole hearted COOPER
alton of every individual who hopes
for a pleasant and prosperous fu-
ture for America.
LAST year 20 per cent of the peo-
pie of the United States were living
upon and dependent upon the farms
and yet were enjoying but nine per
- kA - \ -
people Of the nation.

change value of farm lands has de-

with the knowledge that in the last

ut is true that farm prices are &c
per cent higher than they were be-
fore the war or in 1914, but see what
has happened in the matter of prices
for those things which the farmer
must buy, and observe also, if you
will, that the retail prices Of farm
products have increased not only 26
per cent but so per cent"
Clarifying his attitude on Frank
O. Lowden and Senator Norris Of
Nebraska as candidates for the Re-
publican nomination for the presi-
dency. Senator Nye said:
while ] have no objection to it
being shown that Governor Lowden
is not as acceptable presidential
material as is Senator Norris, for
example, ! do object to being placed
in the light Of one who would at this
early stage attempt to eliminate
him from the race. Developments
might easily prove Governor Low
den to be altogether deserving Of the
united support of the west. The
first purpose Of the people of the
west ought to be, and l believe is,
that of solidifying their strength be-
hind a western program and
presidential candidate. That unity
will win results such as would no
other effort. That being true, the
first essential is to find the man
who best personifies the interests
of the west and under whose leader
ship those things could be done
which would restore that section of
the United States the measure Of
economic equality to which it is
justly entitled.
"Upon these problems the whole
west knows we'll the position of one
like Senator Norris, but it does not
yet fully know the position of Gov
ernor Lowden. except that he is n
believer in and an advocate of farm
relief legislation, such as is involved
in the McNary-Haugen bill. Mr..
Lowden might soon see fit to clarity
his position on these various other
issues and, in doing so, demonstrate
himself as being as acceptable to
the west as would another, and win
the united backing of that great Sec
ton of these United States. But
until he does so clarity his position,
he leaves much room for doubt. The
mere enactment of the McNary-
Haugen bill into law is not of itself
going to save agriculture, and thus
save the west, but much more than
that IS required Of government.
"While this farm relief legisla-
ton probably would go long way
toward restoring an economic bal
ance, it will not guarantee the MAIN
tenance of that balance. Any new
balance effected through this legis-
lation could easily be upset by
further favors to other industries
and through the administration of
such legislation bearing upon our
economic life as now appears upon
the statutes. With these thoughts
in mind, / would assume that you
could understand why there are
many of us who would insist upon
the candidacy for the presidency of
one like Senator. Norris and why we
feel that the west ought to encour-
age, in whatever way it can, such
movement"

HARVEY PLANS
FOR CREAMERY
ON COOP PLAN
Mass Meeting to Be Held Mid.
die of November-Husby
Aids Establishment

Harvey, N. D., Oct. 27.-(N-
Plans for the establishment Of q
cooperative creamery here are going
rapidly forward and are expected to
come to head at a mass-meeting
for farmers Of this vicinity sched-
uled for the middle of November.
Interest in the project, which has
been under consideration for more
than a year, received considerable
impetus recently when John HUSKY,
state dairy commissioner, addressed
the local civic and commercial asso-
citation, presenting data on the sue
cess of cooperative creameries else
where.
Cooperative creameries, HUSKY
said, insure the farmer a higher
price for his butterfat, insure him
q market which he controls him
self, stimulate interest in dairying
because Of the greater profits Il
makes possible and one the most
potent influence leading toward
Investigation.
Merchants throughout the state
are backing cooperative creameries,
he said, because it means increased
prosperity for their districts and
more business for them. The pres
ent trend Of business in North Da-
kota. he said, is to follow the cream,
cam"
In 1925 a total of $4,000 pounds
Of butterfat were shipped from
Harvey by cream stations. Ship
ments direct to creameries, it is es-
timated, would bring the total but
terfat marketed from here to $780,
900 pounds. Half Of this, it is
pointed out, would mean profitable
business for a cooperative cream
cry.
Citizens of Martin, a town near
here, also are said to be considering
the organization Of a cooperative
creamery and have asked HUSKY to
address a meeting to be held there
soon for the purpose Of taking the
initial steps.
