                         HON. CALVIN M. DOOLEY

                         Tuesday, June 13, 1995
  Mr. DOOLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Danish 
Creamery Association, the Nation's oldest continually operated, farmer-
owned dairy cooperative. Danish Creamery is celebrating its 100th 
anniversary.
  In the tradition of all agricultural cooperatives, Danish Creamery 
has a long history of bolstering the economy of the cities and counties 
of California. Since 1895, the association has helped valley dairy 
farmers provide markets for their milk and has supplied the entire 
State with quality butter and dairy products.
  The creamery and the member dairy farms are also important employers 
in the region.
  Over the years, the Danish Creamery Association has led the way in 
the advancement of dairy technology and in interstate and international 
marketing. It has also been an important voice in the development of 
national programs for the betterment of the entire dairy industry.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Danish Creamery for reaching its 100th 
anniversary and wish the association continuing success in providing 
its members with this valuable service.
