By this time had tired of teaching

to go to Valentines School of Tele-

across an old teacher to whom | had
gone to school, at OsceOla, Wis, on

the job, so | did and got it but could
not hold it on account of being in
competent.

time, so | worked in the lumber camp

Larsens Keep
Silver Wedding
Anniversary

Friends and neighbors from far and
near called at the farm home of Mr.
and Mrs. Christ Larsen yesterday
afternoon and evening to help them
celebrate their twenty-fifth wedding
anniversary. The day was spent in
reading, singing and incidental talks
by those present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Larsen were married
in Biersted. Denmark, in 1905 and
came to the United States shortly
afterwards and located near Council
Bluffs. Iowa, where they remained
until 1912 when they moved to Askov
and took up farming here.
Their five sons, Carl, George, Leo,
Henry and John, as well as their two
daughters. Sigrid and Gudrun, were
all home for the event.
Mr.. Larsen has been an active man
in various community enterprises
here and has held and holds positions
in cooperative enterprises and is a
good booster along that line.
A song specially written and printed
for the occasion was distributed to the
visitors and sung by them both af-
ternoon and evening
The American joins with many
friends here and elsewhere in ex-
tending congratulations and best wish
es to Mr. and Mrs. Larsen.

A GOOD MEETING

that the Land O'Lakes now has 40
districts. The largest district has
IS creameries. The creameries are
largely in Minneota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The
district with the highest percentage of
Land OIakes butter has $3.50, the
highest creamery $3.50 and the average
creamery 500. Land O'Lakes butter
must score SO or better.
Speaking Of the care of cream Mr.
Boie said it must be cooled quickly
in cold water and proper sanitary
methods and facilities are very es-
sential to producing good butter.
The Land O'Lakes also sells feed
now to-its member creameries-poul-
try and dairy feed.
The machinery and supply depart
ment did business of $60S,979.22 in
1923 and $2,142,OOO.OO in 1929. The
total sales in this department to date
is $10,6O7 ,26S.22 with a cash dividend
to creameries of $751; ,S6S.5S.
In 1929 the Land OLakes sold o.
5O5,O7S pounds of butter and 5,035,S
pounds of cream. Besides this there
were extensive sales of milk powder,
milk fat, cheese, eggs, poultry, tur-
keys, feed, reconditioned tubs, and ma
chinery supplies The total volume
of business was $5O,552,000 and the
total net worth is over $1,000,O00.
Bringing forth the value of coop
GRAFTON Mr.. Boie concluded by saying
that the profits of big corporations
had better be in the treasures of CO.
operative organizations.
The meeting discussed for some
time the advisabiIity of continuing the
two cream routes, but it was decided
to continue them. 1t was brought out
in the course of the discussion that
the road from .Markville into Ogema
township is in a very bad condition
not much more than a trail-and that
Markville is losing business by not
having it improved as the trade goes
to Danbury to which place the road
is good. There was much favorable
comment for having the road improv-
ed this summer. and it appears that
action will likely be taken.
The annual statement of the cream
cry showed that a total of 131 ,246
pounds of butter had been manufac-
tured in 1929, bringing in $55,7S7.27.
Patrons were paid S49,252.O6 for but
terfat. The average price received
for butter was 4212c per pound and
the average price paid to patrons for
butterfat was 45s4c per pound.
Harry Duncan was elected as a
member of the board of directors and
Geo. w. Rash and E. w. Albrecht were
reelected as board members. Those
holding over are J. ID. Beaufeaux, ST.
