It Is In the plan of cooperation that the strength of the creamery lies. At the start payment was made every month. Since, they have voted to pay twice each month. Milk or cream is tested every two weeks and the amount of butter fat a patron has delivered is computed. A sinking fund of 1 or 1% is set aside from each month's returns. This fund is intended to be used to pay off the debt. The running expenses are then deducted. The balance is now apportioned to each patron according to the number of pounds of butter fat he has delivered. In this way each patron gets as much per pound for his butter fat as the company gets for the butter, as the overrun will more than pay the sinking fund and the running expenses.
