Show HELP DEVELOP II OWNJNDUSTRY CO-OPERATIVE CREAMERY WOULD BE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA OF AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY jflN -IRON COUNTY. Some people admit that opportunity opportun-ity frequently knocks at their door, but they seem to think that it must walk right in, pick them up and carry them away in a limosinc. Admittedly Admitted-ly tho world owes them a living but that is not saying that it should bring it to them. They should go out and get it. It seems that there is a big opportunity op-portunity at tho door of every farmer farm-er in Iron County at present. It may bo that the door will not be opened, and it may be that the many will wait until the few grasp it, put it on its feet, and the many will come in. Solicitors arc now going around getting as many people as they can to sign up for stock in the proposed crenmery to be started here. Are the farmers givling this movement move-ment tho support that it deserves, or arc some going to wait and let a few undertake it, and then if it iprovcs successful take advantage of the other people's work? Perhaps it will be too late then and they will complain about a few men "grabbing" "grab-bing" everything. Tho man that starts things and boosts for them is the one that deserves the -credit and gain. Systematic farming would be tho big result of a creamery In Fron county. The farmers would have a market forthcir .dniry products; they would have Vioir.othing upon which to base their work. With a monthly check for their products the farmers would bo able to build up a dairy herd that would bo a credit to any farm, instead of the way things are at tho present. A market is the thing that makes any farm prosperous, and would not a creamery, where you could sell all your milk and cream, and receive your pay each month enable you to realize something for your work? It cannot be a question of benefits to be dorived from this source, as we feel that every farmer should be able to see where he would bo benefited. bene-fited. All that is necessary is for tho farmers to get to work and support sup-port the movement. Tho old idea that is carried with all new development develop-ment work, that the other fellow will get the benefits should be done awav with: look at the thimr in a business light and remember that you are doing this for your own benefit and not for someone else. You are the one that is to receive the pay check and the size of that .check depends upon the concentrated effort that you put forth. Anallzo your business today and seo if you are receiving tho profij; from your farm that you should according ac-cording to the work you put on it. It can't bo that it is a lack of proper farming ground, a lack of water or climate; ask yourself if it is not due moro lack of system than anything else. There is that cry that we have no market. That may bo true and wo never will haye until we start a definite producing plan. Something has to bo offered before a market can be created. We have the resources, re-sources, everything that Is necessary to mako this county an agricultural ono and would supply a market, If only some definite plan was followed, somo definite production mado. In starting a creamery you are making a market And making one, that to Bupply it you will have to begin systematically Ao produce dairy products. By doing this you will Bystemize your whole farm, and the farming industry in the county will virtually bo revolutionized. By this movement for a creamery the dairy industry will not be developed alone, but the whole agricultural industry in-dustry of the county. Grasp your opportunity; mako a market for your dairy products, and the development will simultaneously bring markets for the rest of your farm products.
