The report on the organization
shows that there are ut present 80
dairymer members and that a grad
nal increase has been realized dur
ing the last few years. More than
S0oa pounds Of butter are produced
daily. The members are paid the
market price for their butterfat
each 10 days and at the end Of each
month n premium is paid them.
There is an average payroll of ap-
proXimatelv 100000 a month.
During the year Of 1927, the rec

average Of so cents more per
pound butterfat for their products
than was paid in the Salt River

in general was better than that re-

Advantages of cooperative mark
citing are set forth in report sub
mitted this morning bv F. w. Lott,
manager Of the Imperial Valley
Milk Producers association, with
headquarters in Holtvillc. The re-
port shows that the members are
today getting much better price
for their products than in previous
years and that besides assisting the
producers, the association now owns
completely the modern plant at

The organization was formed in
1918. Prior to that time two cooper
ative dairy organizations existed.
the Holtvillc association and the
Delta srat Imperial. These two were
taken over by the valley organizat-
ion in its formation and large
number Of dairy farmers in the val
lev joined the movement. The first
cream was churned on July /, 1918.
W. +. Hodges was named prcsi-
dent and manager Of the organizat-

Up until 1921 the organization was
forced to sell its output to iobbers
in Los Angeles but then it took
membership in the Challenge Cream
and Butter Marketing Association
in Los Angeles.
This move is believed TO have
been an exceptionally good one for
the association as the Challenge is
n large association having more than
10000 dairymen in the organizat-
ion from California and Idaho.

head of the association in 1919 and
he was in turn succeeded by c. F.

The organization until July !. 1925
when Lott took over the manage

of the members by his handling of
the work. He is well fitted for the
position having worked in the val

rival here in 1906. He was the first
