of cream eries operated on th e plan of

were never more than half a dozen
creameries in this state operated by
that method. In 1891 the o e really
successful creamery in Oregon was
the one at Farmington. This ere<m
ery which had been established about
five years prior to that time ran con­
tinuously from the start and for the
year 1891 it paid its patrons the
av erag e price of 33.94 cents per

The general impulse toward
improved methods of dairying was
making itself In this state. A ll that
was needed was a campaign of edu

with systematic introduction of dairy
machinery.
“ Prior to 1892 there were but few
creameries in the state. The one at

were also creameries in operation at
