Mr.. Rosenberg, of Bertha, a di-
rector in this district of the Land
o. Lakes Creameries Association.
and M. P. Mortenson, one of the
associations field men, addressed
the creamery group. The former
expressed his faith in the Land O
Lakes association and briefly re.
viewed it's progress up to the pres
ent time, also explaining some of
the important features of it's bus
mess.
Mr.. Mortenson, in his usual rap
idfire way, talked interestingly on
the price situation of the dairy in
dustry and told of the effect that
butter substitutes had upon the
farmers pocketbook. He compared
the per capita butter consumption
of the United States with that of
Canada, stating that while the
States used only II pounds of but
ter per person per year, Canada
used 80 pounds per capita. Our
lower consumption, he said, was
due to the fact that the average
person was not yet fully awake to
the value of dairy foods as part
of the daily diet. He gave it as
his opinion that this condition
could be remedied in a compare
lively short time through consist
ent and widespread advertising. He
cited instances where advertising,
and advertising alone, had created
a demand for products where none
had existed before.
Election of officers concluded the
meeting. Oscar Iverson was re-
elected president, John DeKok be-
came vice president, Steve Mitchell
was reelected secretary, and VIM.
Gildemeister will serve another
year as treasurer. The board of
directors remains the same with
the exception of Nels Strande, who
was chosen to fill the place of Matll
Jegerus, Sr., who has removed from
the community. The other two
members of the board are Gust
Levorsor and Thor Thorson.

Smooth Awned Barleys Aid Crops
Popularity

Smooth awned varieties of barley,
by making the handling of this crop
less disagreeable, have played an
important part in increasing Mimi
esota's output which has practically
doubled in the last four years,
according to F. ]. Stevenson of the
division of agronomy and plant
genetics at University Farm st.
Paul. Minnesota now grows almost
twice as much barley as any other
state and produces more than one
sixth of the total for the United
States. From 100000 acres and
32,675,000 bushels in 1926, the bar
ley crop of this state grew until
last year 100000 acres were har-
vested with total production of
SO, 100000 bushels.
Two new varieties of smooth-aw-
ned barely, known as Velvet and
Glabron, have been developed and
recently distributed to farmers by
the Minnesota Agricultural Expert
ment station. In addition to being
free of rough or barbed boards,
Velvet and Glabron also yield high
er than the standard varieties. In
trials made at University Farm

Round Prairie Co. OPP. Cry
Has Satisfactory Year
Patrons Paid Net Averages of 1888
Cents Per Pound for Their
Butterfat

The annual meeting of the Round
Prairie Cooperative Association
was held Thursday of last week
with fine attendance present.
This creamery is one of the Todd
county organizations affiliated with
the Land O'Lakes corporation. The
report of Secretary Mack showed
that 162,655 pounds of butter was
manufactured in 1929 and the pa
irons were paid an average net
price of 1879 cents per pound for
their butterfat during the year. The
following is the detailed report re-
ported at the annual meeting:
Pounds cream received $500. 4S0,176
Pounds No. butterfat ... 131, 1858
Pounds No. 2 butterfat ... 102
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1930-02-27

The ordinary dairycow, one which
produces up to 100 pounds of butter
fat year when properly fed and
well cared for, is not money
maker. The cost of feeding animals
of such production is so high as a
general rule that little of the in
come from the sale of her products
is left for profits. Such cows just
about pay their board and no more
after all expenses for keeping them
are deducted.
A recent study made by the
United States Bureau of Dairy In
dustry of the feed and production
records of some 100000 cows in cow
testing associations show that the
feed costs of cows producing 5000
pounds of milk year are only 40
per sent more than the feed costs
of cows producing 4,500 pounds. In
terms of butterfat,, assuming that
the average test of the milk is per
cent, cow producing $50 pounds
of butterfat in year requires only
40 per cent more than a cow produc-
ing one-half as much butterfat or
100 pounds. In such case, if the
feed cost for the lower producing
COW for a year is $50, which is a
fair average for an ordinary cow in
milk, then the cost of feed eaten
during the year by the better cow
is SIP. The cost of producing a
pound of butterfat by the common
COW is then A per cent as compared
to 81 cents for the better cow. This
difference of 10 cents on every
pound of butterfat produced by the
good cow in one year amount to $40
For a herd of five COWS of the
same production, the saving on feed
cost for producing butterfat would
amount to 1924 in a single year.
The greater profits of good prod
ucing cows emphasize the import
ance of wedding out poor cows of
the herd as fast as possible. That is
the purpose of keeping daily feed
and milk records on each COW as is
done by members of COW testing
associations and by individual farm
ers who keep their COW records.
Such records tell the farmer which
COWS are money-makers and which
are not. They tell him which an
imals to keep, which to get rid of.
They tell him, too, which cows will
furnish him with heifer calves with
which to build up and improve his
herd. Keeping tab on each COW in
this manner is one sure way to
make more money milking cows.

(Brooten Review

A review of the business of the
Brooten Farmers Cooperative
Creamery Association for the year
1929, a report of which was read
at the annual meeting of the asso-
citation held here last Saturday,
shows a healthy gain in the opera
ton of the business over the pre-
vious year. More cream was re-
ceived at the creamery, more but
ter was made and shipped, and a
larger total gain recorded.
The year 1929 showed an in
crease of 1884 pounds of butter
made over the 1928 total. The past
year, however, showed a slight de-
crease over 1928 in local butter
sales, the difference being 1,O2S
pounds. But this condition is evil
dent in other creameries as we'll,
and probably reflects the use of
butter substitutes, which were
bought quite extensively during n
short period this winter.
A fairly good crowd of patrons
were in attendance at the meeting
A substantial lunch was served free
at noon, and cigars were literally
distributed.

DROP IN PESETA.

MADRID, February 15.-The peseta
continued its drop on the exchange
yesterday, closing at 797 to the dollar
which is not far from its lowest value
during the last weeks of the De Rivera
dictatorship.
Business circles said that trade was
generally slowing up as the result of the
fall in value. The government has not
yet reported on the Spanish financial
situation.
Well informed unofficial circles be-
lieve that the downward movement was
chiefly caused by foreign markets, in
huenced by reports of unsettled political
conditions in Spain.
Minister of the Interior Mario told
a group of business men that the gov
eminent would use its resources to de-
fend business interests by enforcing
law and order. AS result of the fall
of the peseta prices on the domestic
markets have slightly risen.
