Cooperative Creamery
In Fine Condition
Continued from Page One

OLakes butter was in demand /;
market could be developed fol
first class eggs to compete witt
eggs raised in Sal1rornia. Witt
the reputation already established
by Land O'Lakes eggs would sci
at a premius from the start.
The speaker said the proper
way to gather the eggs was in 6
basket, place them in a cool place
on stool to allow sne air to circu,
late through and cool the eggs
gradually.
The color of the eggs did not
make any difference, but the first
quality must weigh at least 2s
ounces. The local creamery will
receive one cent per dozen fol-
handling the eggs.
Mr.. Mortensen said there was
an active campaign on foot to in
crease the efficiency of creamery
operators. At the present time
there was keen competition be-
tween Districts No. 2, the later
district being east Of st. Cloud.
H. Elkjer, of the Bertha cream
cry, Seventh district, would un-
doubtedly be the championship eff
ficiency expert of the State. The
gentleman was in attendance at the
meeting. When he was called for
by Mr.. Mortensen he failed to re-
spond.
The quality of Land OIakes
butter had increased 40 per cent
in the last three years. Over 80
per cent of the Sank Lake Cream
cry product scored SO or better
and was eligible for the Land
OLakes label.
President G. D. Cass of the
Sank Centre City Council ex-
planned to the meeting that the
creamery needed land owned by
the city for a driveway. Mr.. Cass
said the city did not care to dis.
pose of the land but arrange
ments could be made whereby the
creamery could use the land back
of the Community building for a
roadway without expense.
President Lying at this point ex-
pressed the appreciation to the
Herald for the splendid co-opera-
ton always given in, aiding in the
development of the Sank Lake
creamery. Mr.. Wallace, of the
Herald, expressed his appreciation
of the courtesy and promised a
continued support Of the farmers
in any movement that tended to
improve their condition.
Roy Gallagher, secretary of the
Padua creamery, was introduced
and keep the audience in good hu-
NOR until lunch was served.
The lunch was the best ever
served by the Association. The
service was rapid and eminently
satisfactory.
The meeting was called to order
at about 1 80 and John Brandt, of
Litchfield, president of the Land
OLakes Association, was intro
duced.
In his opening remarks Mr..
Brandt complimented the, farmers
of Sank Genre for the splendid in
terest they are taking in the Sauv
Lake creamery as evidenced by the
splendid attendance at the annual
meeting :
Mr.. Brandt does not believe
there is a chance of the dairy bus
mess being overdone in the next
20 years. If it was it would be
the fault of the farmers in not
handling the product in a business
like manner. He insisted that the
product must have quality, must
be. handled efficiently and must be
advertised. He cited the success
Of the Land O'Lakes organization
to prove his contentious. Every
person in America consumes an
average of SO. 90 worth of butter
per year, and the amount is in
creasing annually. Every woman
in America spent an average of
SO 90 yearly for lipsticks and 9TH
er cosmetics. The demand for the
later was the direct result of
creating the demand by advertis-
ing.

per capita consas..ct during the
