George Lano, Secretary Of

Chairman of Board

The Minnesota cooperative
creameries are taking up the
question of stabilizing the butter
market which is already built-up
throughout the eastern consuming
markets.
During recent weeks the boards
of directors and stockholders of a
large number of the creameries of
Minnesota have considered a plan
of educational advertising for the
consuming public, sponsored by
the Minnesota Unit Of the Nation
al Dairy Council. This organiza-
ton is a non-profit association
composed of voluntary member
ship on the part of the Minnesota
creamerieS to carry on the public
ity work.
At the first meeting of the Min
nesota Council, the first Tuesday
of September, the following of
ficers and directors were elected
and bylaws of the organization
adopted:
George Lano, Secretary, Long
Prairie Creamery, Chairman.
C. L. Larson, President, Win
throp Creamery, Vice Chairman.
w. A. Gordon, Editor, Dairy
Record, st. Paul, Secretary-Treas-
urer.
Directors elected were: Eric
Lundgren, Pres, Isanti Creamery ;
Morris Sorenson, Mgr, Pelican
Rapids Creamery; j. c.. Johnson,
Secretary, Clarks Grove Cream
cry; Anton Baltes, Pres, MINI.
Creamery Operators and Manag-
ers Association; Lano and Mr..
Larson.
Leaders in the dairy industry of
Minnesota realize that if the
state is to hold its present lead as
the largest producer of creamery
butter in the United States, and to
insure farmers a steady future
market, that it is proper business
foresight to increase consumption
in the large consuming centers,
particularly in the east There is
a steady increase in the produc-
ton of cream in Minnesota and
nearby states and creameries are
anxious to maintain in a steady
demand.
Since the prices paid to cream
producers are directly dependent
on the demand the MINI. Dairy
Council is concerned with the
amount of butter kept in stor,a age
from month to month These stor-
age holdings of butter act as a
barometer of the prices which the
consumer pays for butter and the
prices which Minnesota farmers
will get for their cream
As result of series of meet
ings conducted with district and
local boards of creameries in this
part of the state a nucleus for the
Minnesota Council is already
formed and assurance given that
financial support on the education
al campaign will soon be in OPP
Grafton.
Through the efforts of M. D.
Mum, former St. Paul attorney
and Jersey breeder of national
reputation, C.. Bechtelheimer,
Secretary of Iowa Dairy Coun-
Gil, E. M. Wallace, L. A. Veenes,
F. r.. Ealy and the officers of the
Minnesota Creamery Operators
and Managers Association, nearly
100 creamery boards have already
passed upon the educational cam
paign. Many of these boards took
action Immediately to participate
in the Minnesota Dairy Council
while others deferred action to a
later meeting with the assurance
of the officers and directors that
every effort would be made to Sc
cure favorable action from their
stockholders.
Three large district meetings
were attended by representatives
