rr ST. HELENS MIST, FRI DAY. AUGUST 6. 1915. J. i ? 1 K 1 CREAMERY OR CHEESE FACTORY Is Xow the Question Farmers Are Anxious for IndustryGood Meet ing at Warren Tuesday Night. Several auto loads of boosters from St. Helens journeyed to Warren Tuesday night, accepting the Invlta tlon of the Warren Grange to meet In an open session with them and the Yankton Grange for the purpose of discussing and formulating plans to organize a creamery or a cheese fac tory at St. Helens. A. H. Tarbell called the meeting to order, gave the purpose of the gath ering and his ideas as to what should be done. Interesting discussions fol lowed. It being admitted by all pres ent that this section should have and support either a creamery or a cheese factory. That It would mean much towards the upbuilding of the com munity and that if Rainier and other places with a much smaller territory to draw from could successfully maintain a creamery, there was no reason why St. Helens, with one of the richest sections of the state at her command, should not do so If the enterprise was properly launched and managed. An Inducement to the farmers to take hold of the proposition was made by the Commercial Club, in that If a creamery was established and the products proved to be of good quality, the merchants of St Helens would handle their product exclusively, which would insure a sale of at least 1100 pounds of butter a week, and 300 gallons of ice cream a month. An offer was also made in regard to the establishing of a cheese fact ory, that without any additional ex pense excepting the erection of a building, such an industry could be run in connection with the Columbia River cannery. This would reduce the first cost to the minimum, and with no additional expense for clerical and office help afterwards. It was voted by the body that a committee of six persons be appoint ed to ascertain from the farmers their desires in the matter, as to their pref erence for a creamery or a cheese factory, and what number of cows could be had, and the amount stock each would subscribe toward a co-operative company. The com mittee elected are as follows: K. F. Larson, A. H. Tarbell, Joe Erickson, P. C. Jacobson, Ray Tarbell and Fred Briggs. This committee to call a meeting when they had secured the information. A vote of thanks was extended by the Granges to the Commercial Club for attending the meeting, thereby manifesting their interest in the wel fare of the farmer. of farmers and business men working together through thick and thin, no matter what might come. Co-operation is absolutely essential for suc cess." When asked how many cows would be necessary to Btart a cheese fact ory, he stated 200 would easily sup ply enough milk and 00 for a cream ery. At a meeting of the Commercial Club some few nights since, it was brought out that butter could be pro duced at a cost of one-half cent per pound. Mr. Brown stated that at the college It cost them to manufacture, operate the creamery and market the' product, 4c a pound, and that a small creamery could not make It for less than that amount. In the Northwest, he said further. there has never been enough cheese placed on the market to supply local demand, while a foreign mar ket had to be fouud for creamery pro ducts. The head of the dairy depart ment of the college says "that more emphasis should be laid on the estab lishing of cheese factories. They re turn more money when operated correctly."

The lectures last Friday, given by experts from the Extension division of the O. A. C, were not as well at tended, perhaps, as they should have been, but this in no wise lessened the good from the lectures. Prof. M. S. Brown talked on horti culture in the afternoon, as previous ly announced. Having taken a trip through the valley in the morning, he gathered together several varieties of fruit more or less affected with dis eases of some kind, discussed the mode of cure, prevention, etc. Mr. Brown was called to this sec tion two years ago, and in his open ing remarks, he said: "that during that trip I formed an opinion that this section would become one of the best in the state, and I have not yet changed my mind." After discussing the kinds of fruit which did the best in this climate he took up the question of marketing This he said "was ttie rock where the grower could break." With the can nery here now, he saw no reason for an Immediate difficulty, but In time to come the growers would have to organize to dispose of their products. The cannery represents one of the hest phases of industries that could be placed in this community. Every body should get back of it," stated Mr. Brown. "It means more Inten sive methods of farming, but the farmers must support the industry or it will fall. There is no reason why this cannery should not be a success." Miss Turley followed with a lec ture and demonstration on domoRtlc science, showing the modern methods of cooking, what to cook and how to prepare the food. She was heard by a large and appreciative audience. At 8 o'clock In the evening. Prof. E. B. Fitts, specialist in dalryine. gave a lecture on this subject. Illus trated with slides. He took up the cow, her feed and her care as the foundation to success. Relative to establishing a cream ery or a cheese factory In this section, he said that success depended largely on the number of cows that could be secured, and the quantity of milk. "More than any one thing," he stated, "for the success of a creamery or a similar Institution, depends on the The steamer Tamalpais arrived Wednesday night and will sail with a full cargo of ties and piling for San Francisco Saturday.
