MANY farmers are too inclined

it is lust their luck. However, 80

Mr.. Cort points out that this inn
mense sum, totalling almost a half
million dollars, represents what
the farmers of Todd county would
eventually lose on the same am
cunt of business if there were no
cooperative creameries and the
centralizers dominated the mark
ct. The sum would be more than
this because the figures quoted do
not include reports from Staples
and Hewitt creameries. Mr.. Cort
says that the patrons of the Sank
Centre, Verndale, and Swanville
creameries, according to reports
published in The Leader, saved
S139,464.77 by the same process.
With all creameries in the innmed--
late territory reporting, the total
without doubt ram we'll over $780,
900.
These figures are very signifi-
cant and should be studied by ev-
cry farmer patron, particularly
those who either are or are being
tempted to leave the creamery and
ship to some centralizer.
1t is a we'll known fact in bust
ness that the one who finishes"
the product makes the money.
Farmers by organizing in manu-
featuring their butter have the
opportunity to cash in on this "ov-
errun." The addition of 5000, 900
to the creamery income in just one
wear is the sum which makes
big difference in computing profit
and loss. If the butter nlanufac-
turing business in Todd county
and Minnesota had not been or
ganized on a cooperative cream
cry basis, but from the beginning
the manufacture had been in the
hands of outsiders, such as CEN
tralizers, there is good reason to
believe that the farmers never
would have heard of the "over-
rum" They would have been paid
Just for the butterfat they brought
in. The overrun would have found
it's way into the bank account of
the centralizers as extra profits.

ter. The overrun consists of wa
ter and salt that is added to but
terfat to make butter. The cream
cry brttermaker takes about three
fourths of a pound of butterfat,
mixes it with approximately a
quarter pound of water and salt,
and makes one pound of butter.
Water and salt do not cost very
much and so the creamery; that
is, the patrons, get the benefit of
this "overrun."
Mr.. Cort's point is that if the
farmer ships his cream he will in
the long run lose this overrun be-
cause the centralizers, with no
creamery competition to prod them
along, would pay the farmer only
for butterfat marketed and would
keep the overrun for themselves
Here are the figures showing what
the overrun sold for in cash at
each of the creameries mentioned

SAUK CENTRE HERALD

There are certain farmers in
Todd county who are shipping
their cream away from the local
creamery. Some of them have a
grievance, or think they have, but
there is no grievance that is suf-
ficient to warrant farmer in
taking so serious step as to pass
up his own creamery. The result
of such action if taken up by
enough other farmers would be
very serious.
