Producer Owned Creamery Second To None Declargs President E. B. Hallman â€" (By Staff Reporter) NEW DUNDEE.â€""I don‘t know of any creamery in the province of Onâ€" tario which could compete with our New Dundee Coâ€"Operative Creamery. We have enjoyed the best year in our history during 1938." So declared President E. B. Hallâ€" man at the 31st annual meeting of that organization, here, on Saturday. Comparatively few attended the meeting, at which the president exâ€" pressed regret. It was believed conâ€" dition of roads throughout the counâ€" ty was largely responsible. "We had a banner year last year, and 1 don‘t thinkrwe should be acâ€" cused of boasting when I say we are second to none," asserted, President Hallman. "I sincerely wish that more competition were possible, for better results would naturally accrue to the producers." bo; 2nd, Austin Chamberlain; 3rd, Alex. Mclntyre.

C. D. Sutor, of Paris, a member of the Concentated Milk Producers‘ Asâ€" sociation, who attended the meeting, stated that while the market price for powder was in chaotic condition at the present time, it would fiot alâ€" ways be so. "We intend to meet with the Onâ€" tario Milk Control Board in an effort to stabilize the price of powder and stopping the small manufacturer from dumping the product on the marâ€" ket at any price," he said. "We have great hopes our action will do much to alleviate the present unsatisfacâ€" tory condition." Miss M. Williams spent the weekâ€" end in Toronto. Clair and Jay Harmer and Ray Plyley were recnt visitors to Drumbo and Ayr. A suggestion, prior to election of Mr. Bergey over Mr. Abra, that the executive be increased from three to five men, was withdrawn, when other shareholders held the threeman executive was sufficient. Gilbert Bergey was elected a direcâ€" tor of the Creamery by shareholders present to replace John W. Abra, who has been a director for the past nine or ten years. â€" The retiring director said that while he had been replaced his "heart will always be with the New Dundee Coâ€"Operative Creamery" and that he would always be willing to do all in his power to support it. Since Mr. Abra first became a director, the orâ€" ganization has increased its patronâ€" age from 425 to 1,400, indicative of the excellent work done by him along with the executive.

Complaints rding variation in cream tests, h.areghl. returning to the subject of his address, came chiefly from the Belleyille and Peterboro districts. The Ontario cream testing department, he said, is usually able to settle such complaints by securâ€" ing records of both factions. ‘The speaker read numerous data of investigations made by the cream testing , department, to show why tests often varied, and listed causes which included: (a) ~dirty_ cream separator; (b) vibration in separaâ€" tor; (c) many other factors such as rusted discs in separator; all these can affect the cream test, he pointed out. M Dundee Producers of Work In Testing Department (By Staff Writer) NEW DUNDEE.â€"More complaints than ever before came in to the Creamery Testing branch last year alleging variation in cream tests, J. L. Baker told the annual meeting of the New Dunde Coâ€"Operative Creamâ€" ery, here, on Saturday. ‘The speaker lauded the ‘frank and friendly discussions" prevalent at the meeting, and asserted that only by such coâ€"operation could an organizaâ€" tion hope to sunvive. "It is a serious situation and arouses much suspicion between both producers and purchasers, parâ€" ticularly where producers split shipâ€" ments, and tests show different re sults," stated Mr. Baker, stating howeyer, that in every case, his deâ€" partment had succeeded in saving the producer for the dairy. He also warned farmers to watch their methods of milking and the inâ€" tervals between milking and feeding very carefully, and, above all, to remember that they are paid . for pounds of fat produced, not for the test.

BOSTON DOCTOR CALLS FOR "GIRTH CONTROL® ROSTON.â€"Here‘s what a Boston doctor thinks about that duige above the waist line. "A certain amount of fat is an anchor to the windward against disease", said Dr. Arthur Cushing, decrying oxcessive dieting by the wouldâ€"beâ€"thins. On the other hand, he called for "girth control" through self control, but not neces earily at the expense of the potato. "It isn‘t the potato," he said, "it‘s what we put on it." ‘"We are trying to formulate a coâ€" operative policy in our organization," he continued, expressing regret that the daily press had declined to give them much publicity or coâ€"operation in any way "The articles which we would have them use, I suppose, wouldn‘t just suit their advertisers." ‘Referring to criticism of the creamâ€" ery executive by a shareholder, who suggested they had not acted wisoly in installing a powder plant at great expense, the speaker said: "It might seem at times that things underâ€" taken are not warranted, but this happens in all businesses, because we can‘t always tell what future conditions will be." ‘"‘We are taking steps to remedy this situation as soon as possible, and are submitting a recommendaâ€" tion that we ought to own the recelyâ€" ing plants where we could not only receive but weigh, test, sample and supply other houses with what they need and no more", he suggested. The surplus, the speaker contended, is what is enabling the big interests to beat down the prices of dairy proâ€" duce. if such action could be taken, the balance of milk, not required, would Mr. Sutor then gave an interesting and instructive report on the work done and future intention of the Conâ€" centrated Milk Producers‘ Associaâ€" tion, of which he is a director. The organization, he said, is now startâ€" ing its fifth year. Canadian Pacific Remedy Butter Surplus ‘"This year conditions are not as good as they might have been due to a large butter surplus which is piling up steadily. Butter is not an exportable product in Canada, while cheese is in demand on Old Country markets," continued Mr. Sutor, asâ€" serting that Canada had left the cheese industry to "shift for itself." on payment ofâ€" al ENo mNEoame: ::nc. plus price :l.?-:z' or sleeping car STOPOVERSâ€"within legal limit of ticket, both going and returning â€"at Port Arthur, Ont., Armstrong, Ont., and west; also to Chicago, IIl., Sault Ste.

"Toâ€" day we receive the market value for butter fat and 26 to 30 cents for soâ€" lids and odd fats. The organization deserves credit for improving conâ€" ditions to such a great extent," he asserted.
