CHEESE FACTORY LOOKS PROBABLE

EIGHTY FARMERS ATTEND LAKE VILLAGE MEETING AND HEAR OPERATING PLANS OUTLINED '* Lake Village—More than eighty interested farmers, business men and others crowded th# 1 Lake Village school Tuesday evening at a meeting with Jacob Borst, who plans to start a cheese factory there shortly. Clarence Van Camp, an experienced cheese maker from Wisconsin, gave in detail their plans for the inauguration of the factory. A contract was drawn up and read which met the approval of those present after every point and phase had been discussed freely by those attending. The contract can apply to independent milk producers only, unless the association producers can get the consent of their organization to sell their surplus to the proposed company which will be. known as the Lake Village Cheese Company. > * Two plans of operating were offered the farmers, by elected officers or by the organizers, who in this event would furnish bond for the faithful performance of their •cuties. Many seemed under the impression that dues would be charged or that it would be necessary to buy stock in the company. They were informed and the contract so read, that milk was ail the promoters want. They assert( that 15,000 pounds daily is needed to, make it worth while to establish a plant. The plant they propose to install would handle, if necessary nearly 100,000 pounds daily. A goodly number signed the contract Tuesday evening, and a can- . . . j hv th© - ed parties—the promoters, Lake Village business men and Lake Village farmers. With those already signed it seems that, beyond i a doubt, the little factory is assured for the Village. The promoters state they will have the factory in operation within fifteen days after signers are secured for the desired quantity of milk.
