Of 100 essays, states Dairy Commis-| sioner Osterhaus, all which received creditable mention were from sections where local creameries have operated for some time and where dairying Is well established. Through the courtesy of Commis- sioner Osterhaus, Mr. Mfeier’s essay is reproduced herewith in full: “The Marketing of North Dakota Dairy Products.” Since trausportation is the first real problem that confronts the producer in the sale of his product, we may be- gin this essay by considering just where and when the marketing phase of the dairy Industry commences. Altho not always thought of as « such, the beginning of the marketing phase of the dairy industry takes place as soon as the milk has been drawh and ends when the product is in the hands of the cansumer. The care of the product, that is, the operation of coolers and the cost of keeping a low percentage of bacteria in it, should be considered in figuring up the cost of transportation.

Cream that i8 sold to’creamt stations usually goes out of the state; espe- | cially that cream that is markete with the independent cream bu however, the centralizer creameries in| the state also receive a large portion Usually .a_ cream station is backed by. some Jarge eastern cen- tralizer and pays the farmer a high price for his butter fat as long as |there is a local creamery to compete) with it. After once having forced the creamery into bankruptcy, the prices paid for butter fat by the cream station immediately drop because of lack of competition and the central- izer goes after the next creamery. Cooperative cream shipping associa- tions work practically upon the same basis as the local creamery and aid farmers in getting higher prices for their cream. They are of special value in communities where there is not enough cream to organize a local creamery. The results from the above method of marketing may next Se taken up.
