Creamery Officers Meeting

Creamery Officers Meeting
Creamery officers of Stearns
county met at Albany on the eve-
ming Of April 20 to study the plan
Of the Minnesota Dairy Industries
Committee to carry on an advertis-
ing program for butter and other
dairy products. Over 100 operators
and creamery officers were present
representing % creameries and
dairy plants Of Stearns county.
This meeting was called by the
county agents office, st. Cloud, to
familiarize the various creameries
with the plan Of the Minnesota
Dairy Industries Committee. The
meeting was opened by the county
agent who called on III. r. Searles,
extension dairyman from Univer-
sity Farm, to explain the history Of
the Minnesota Dairy Industries
Committee. He showed how this
committee was made up and how
legislation was secured last winter
to set up a small fund to start the
program going in this county.
The main talk of the evening was
given by w. H. Olson, former coun-
ty agent Of Hubbard county and
now manager of the committee. Mr..
Olson showed by charts the results
achieved by advertising various
food products such as the fruits
produced on the west coast and al
so with some Of the butter sub
stitutes such as oleomargarine and
various frying and baking bat pre-
parations. Toward the end Of his
talk he outlined the program Of the
committee which provides for
creameries entering this contract
with the committee and paying to
the committee Soc for manufacture
ing in Minnesota and before this
plan can go into operation, 1t will
be necessary that at least IS per-
cent Of the production is signed up
on the plan.
w. M. Olson Of st. Peter, a rep
resentative of one of the New York
butter houses working through this
territory, spoke favorably of the
committees plan from a consumer
standpoint. Mr.. Olson mentioned
that even educational institutions
at the present time are doing very
little to encourage the use Of dairy
products.
Toward the close of the meeting
an opportunity was given for ex-
preston of views from the various
creamery representatives present.
Almost all of them were heartily in
accord with the plan and generally
felt that they were for a program
Of this kind for good many years
but this is the first opportunity for
the creameries to work together to
put 1t over in an organized way. At
the end of the meeting an oppor-
tunity was given for the creameries
to sign up on the plan. The Hold
ing Farmers Creamery Of Holding
ford was the first to sign up. Sew
en- other creameries signed before
leaving the meeting and nine more

they first wanted to get the approx
al Of the other board members Of
their organization. At little later
creameries not represented will be
contacted relative to joining this
plan and 1t is quite definite that at
least rs percent Of the creameries
of Stearns county will go in on the
program.
