The reason for Mrs. Mallory's decision
to retire definitely is an injury to her

LAND O'LAKES
WELL KNOWN
Mcclure Urges Members to
Stick to the Coop.
CreamerieS.
Denham Creamery Has Sue
cessful Picnic With Good
Turnout.

Members of the Denham Farmers
Cooperative Creamery association,
their families and friends enjoyed a
good picnic at the Rundquist park
near Denham, Wednesday afternoon
The weather was ideal. for a picnic
and there was a good turnout of be-
tween 200 and 800 people.
A. ]. Mcclure, general manager OF
the Land O'Lakes Creameries, Inc,
Minneapolis. of which the Denham
creamery is a member, gave the prin-
cipal talk of the day, dwelling upon
the history of the Land OLakes, tel
ling of how it started in small way
with meager quarters in the Old Cap
itol building for the office until today
it has a large central plant from
which the butter is distributed out
over the country and from where the
sales are handled.
Few Coop Failures.
Mr. Mcguire said that the individ-
ual farmer cannot stand alone, nor
can the individual creamery-a mar
keting organization like the Land
OLakes being necessary. He urged
continued patronage of the co-opera-
tive creamery, especially in times
like these, for it will return good
dividends in the long run, he added.
There are failures in cooperative
movements, but far more in private
concerns, said the speaker. Some
years ago the government found that
it was costing the centralizers &c per
pound to manufacture butter. The
cooperative creameries are doing
this at less than half the cost.
A Good Name.
When the Land OLakes was or
ganized about ten years ago its first
object was to improve the butter, and
great strides have been made in this
direction, said Mr.. Mcclure. He told
of how Cream of Wheat built up it's
name through advertising, and they
have been at it for 40 years. Like
wise has the Land O'Lakes built up a
good name which is now known all
over the country and big customers
are very reluctant about turning away
from that brand of butter on account
of its good name. Therefore, said
the speaker, it is all the more i'm
pOrtant, though prices are presently
low, that the co-operators hew close
to the line and stick together. Mr..
Mcclure also complimented the Den
ham creamery on it efficient manage
ment and on the product turned out
from the plant.
Others Speak.
F. E. Gardner of Anoka, state
creamery inspector; Herman r. Berg
of Rush City, chairman of district No.
2 Land O'Lakes Creameries; and State
Representative Hjalmar Petersen of
AskOv, also spoke briefly. Mrs. Anton
Suk of Denham, entertained with
singing. Oluf Alberg, president of the
Denham creamery, introduced the
speakers. Oscar Oswald, who has
been secretary of the creamery for
many years, is still the faithful man
on that job, being an old settler in
the community. and Allen Irene is
the man behind the churn.
DdSeDdll game between lehman
and Ellison during the afternoon re-
suited in victory for the local team
by a score of to 6. In the kitten
ball game the single men were vic
torious over the married men by a
score of 20 to Is. A dance in the
evening rounded out the days fes-
tivities.

The Review brings out the point that

The extent to which diversihcation has

States is not understood. 1t Is pointed
out that MinneSota's production of
wheat now Is exceeded by Pennsylvania,
and that Iowa's wheat production is
smaller than Maryland or Virginia,
Wisconsin'S wheat being about equal
to that Of Delaware.
While It is stu true that five North

OUTLOOK IN STEEL

Large Orders Give Firmer Tone to

NEW YORK, March 21.-Placing Of
a structural steel order fer the radio
center in New York City, estimated at
from $4,000 to 5000 tons. and an
inquiry from a railroad for 100, 900 to
$4,000 tons Of fabricated steel, created
an optimistic tone in the steel market
this week. Expansion in mill operations,
however, was rather slow but steady,
steel tngot production being estimated
at 81 per cent of capacity. The under
tone Is Steadier, some Of the leading
mills announcing an advance in bars,
shapes and plates for the second
quarter. Pig iron is about steady with
fair inquiry reported.
Copper remained quiet with foreign
demand restricted by the premium Of
- cent being asked over the normal
export parity. A fair demand developed
IN the domestic market at the I0-cent
level, at which custom smelters have
been willing to sell and fabricating sub
salaries Of large producers are said to
have taken over moderate tonnages. A
report that wire drawers have booked
a number Of good orders has been a
sustaining factor. Large producers con-
tinue to quote 10N cents for electrolytic

Tin advanced in sympathy with
firmnesS in London, while reports early
in the week of small straits shipments

GAIN IN OIL OUTPUT
DECR|ED BY TEXANS
Agitation Against MidConti-
nent Producers Revived
in Southwest.

TULSA, Okla, March 2l.-Additional
production OF crude oil from wells in
the mid-continent area is being abb
Sor6ed thus far with apparently very
little concern.
The increases occurring In the East
Texas field. as a result of unchecked
production and the gains in the Semi
mole pools, due to the temporary unre-
str1cted now for the purpose of obtain
ing the present potential capacity, to-
gether with the augmentation Of the
marketable output Of the Oklahoma
City field, which in all are aggregating
nearly $4,000 barrels, are providing the
more equitable distribution Of oil. Those
units which complained of being under
nourished through the severity of pro-
ration appear to be appeased for the
time being. They have lessened their
efforts bent toward obtaining q larger
production from wells.
Production Gain.
The production Of the Oklahoma City
field this week will average 135, 900 bar
rels daily, against 10000 a month ago.
The additional production is being
taken mostly by the Sinclair company,
although the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana and some of the smaller pur-
chasers are also buying greater quanti-
ties. IL Is DOUBTFUL, however, II all OF
the purchasers other than Sinclair are
taking In the aggregate 80 per cent Of
the increased output.
The Sinclair Arm and a handful Of
independent operators were the princi-
pal agitators for a larger output from
the new flush field and it was at their
insistence that the Corporation Com
mission increased the marketable oil in
Oklahoma City to 100000 barrels daily.
although it has temporarily cancelled
Is, 900 barrels Of this amount until the
meeting of oil State representatives in
Washington, to be held at the end OF
the month.
Prices Standardized.
Since more oil has become available
to the refining units and the price Of
the raw material has become Standard
lied, with few exceptions in the mid
continent, there has been an abatement
in the political agitation, which had
reached pitch heretofore not attained
in Oklahoma. This waning Of interest
in this State, however, appears to be re-
placed with more fervent demonstra-
lions in Texas. Meetings are being held
in oil centers there urging the support
of a movement to bring about the dis
migration of oil companies.
