Naval Aca demy Make Helpful Addresses. (Special to Charlotte Observer.) Hickory, Aug. 31.—Wiiat proved to be a most interesting meeting, and one that will go down in the histoiy of Catawua County as well as tne State in progressive movements was th* opening of the Catawba Co-op uerative Creamery Company, which wis held in Hickory Saturday, t.h»* home of the company. Thai it has not only attracted universal attention, but that the farmers and their famil ies are interested in it, was evidenced b\ tlie fact that something like a thousand or twelve hundred country men and their families attended the meeting. ' The company has just no el into its new brick building onosieofthe principal streets of tne city Here tofore it has rented a small place in one of tlie suburb. The new bttild in» is thoroughly equipped with ail the modern machinery and conven iences suitable for the earning of an uj., to-date creamery. The machinery is driven by electricity and connec tions aie made with the ci'y line for all waste ma eti il It has a cayacitv of 3.000 pounds a day. At present the company is turning out I.IKH) pounds daily, and lias a mem ber-hip among the farmers of the countv of 217. having grown to this number in three years rrom iheoiig inal shareholders of only 38. PLANT INSPECTED. The day be>:an by taking the peo pie through the plant and showing the process which tlie cream under goes when it comes in from the coun tiy until it comes out a tiilished pro duct and ready for shipment. Alter everyone had been through the plant, the crowd assembled to tlie park near the railway station to hear the speak ing which begun about 11 o'clock. Rev. John C. Peeler made tlie open ing prayer followed by a short talk from Mr. John W. Robins-on, presi dent of the association. Mr. Robin son reviewed the history of the cream ery since its birth, three years ago. Among some of tlie Interesting sta tistics that he gave was that the value of the real estate, which was the stock behind the creamery was something like $1,200,000, and that the value oi the cattle and livestock on the farms ol tlie members ot the creamery, as sociation was $.">00,000. In connection with the creamery, the company has an egg organization whereby thecoun try people co-operate and ship their eggs to ready markets. Of these, Mr. Robinson said that there were now 400 membeis. GOVERNMENT EXPERT SPEAKS. Mr. J. A. Conover, who has charge of the dairy and farm department ot the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and who was for some time-in cliarge of the field work of the State Agricul tural Department, was the principal spealcer of the morniug. Mr. Con over is the man who really first start „ed the idea of a co-operative creamery in Hickory. While in the Stat** ser vice several years ago, he went among tlie country people of tlie section around Hickory and interested thera in better cattle raising out of which has grown the best creamery in the South. Mr Conover expressed his pleasure in coming back among his old friends, and also his extreme delight in seeing the progress they had made He re viewed in part the struggles they had made in making it a success and urged them to keep going forward, tie spoke of the good roads they now had over which to haul their produce when some years back when he used to travel over them they were any thing but good, and he threw a bou quet at Mr. Robinson, who as Mr. Con jver said, was partially responsible for much of tlie good work which had been done, and always had ''his finger in the pie" when there was a pro gressive movement to be launched. He made u.'erence to the fact that an up-to-date dairyman was a man who started in the business some yeais after having tauglit school for some time, 'ihe real birth of the creamery occurred about five years a»(o, Mr. Cononr said, when a short course SCI OJI was he d in a small tenant house in the county. It prov ed so !>ucc ssf j1 that one was held ay Hi n the next year, and that during that time the hrst agitution about a creamery was begun. At that time they uiade a canvas of tne farms and could tind on I 325 cows, but the United States Department of Agricul ture avised that they refrain from s ar ing anj wor* until s»>o cows could b: secured. They made another at tempt and secured a few more, 'and today", said Mr. Conover, "you have one of the best creameries In the South, and one a great deal better than anything in the West." He a.so su'td that there are few creameries Hi the United States ti.at have made the grow tii that the . aUwba creani er V has made. He said that the creamery would be the means of mak t'lK'hema mo.e j rogressive people, be cause ii would olace them in a higher plane of thought. "You show me an ui'-to-dite dair.xman, and 1 will show you a progressive farmer," said Mr. SOIL FERTILITY He Kave some *ing sta tistics concerning the amount of soil iul li1 11y taken by many of the farm P'Oducts. Tor 25 bushels »i com, $ worth of s il fertility was removed; "" ''iishels of oats i emoted 99.5U ot *oil fertility; and 25 busneis of wh at. too« |v». jj* gave these figures to s, 'ow ihe need of the use of fertilizer, 4ni went a step further to show that ,J jiir\n»g was one of the best paying 01 all occupations bv giving out the statement that if requited 70 cents worth of soil fer llity to produce one lon oi butter. r THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT "Thing that is needed most now," said Mr. Conover, "is a herd-testing association so that the cow that is not. giving the proper amount of but. terfatcan be wee led out." One of the most interest ing features of hi* talk was a chart exhibit showing the decrease In slckmss at the United Spates Naval Academy since the'in stitution has begun using milk from c»ws that have been tested. The year prwviottVi to the tested cows there were I,soosick days against 276 for the past year. THE DINNER. The crowd then assembled to the creamery building where tables weie provided and a basket dinner spreao for the people, and about twenty-flv.- hundred or three thousand people were fed. Buttermilk from the cream ery was served like water. After din% nar ice cream was served. AFTERNOON MEETING. An afternoon meeting was held in the opera house, where Mr. Clarence H.Poe editor of the Progressive Far m er was t lie principal speaker Justice fore Mr. Poe was announced, Mrs. John W. Robinson made a si»ort talk on ' Advantage of the Creamery to tile Farmers' Wife." She received ap plause when she suggested that the next tiling for the ladies was a co operative aundry. This, site said would give to the ladies more time to read and an opportunity to pay more attention to their home). MR. POE'S ADDRESS. Mr. Poe then took the floor and held the crowd of interested men and women for about an hour in a talk about the upbuilding of rural districts of Nortii Carolina, tiv, touched up-m many and varied improvements for the iarmer and upbuilding plans the Catawba County farmers are inaug urating. He said that within the next six months be expected to see many of them joining together to pur chase up-to-date machinery when one alone could not aff jrd to buy it. "1 want to Sfe people all over th whole United States ard tUt abroad coming down to North Caro lina to see what you people in Ca tawba County are doing, and that is what they will do if you keep up the work as you have begun it," said Mr. Poe. He stated that cne of their next best steps was to follow the sug gestion of Mrs. Bobinson and estab lish a co opeiative iaundry. Mr. Poe expressed his pleasure at the steps taken toward a rural credit association which has jusi bt-eri form ed among the dairymen by Mr. W. J. Shuford, and tie said there was a worldwide awakening about rural credit associations, and that within a short time iie expeoted to see the State lending aid to the farmer to help hiui purchase a farm of his own. RURAL EDUCATION. He then branched upon the topic of education for the country boy and girl and gave many interesting ideas about rural education. Among other things, he said that what the co ntry boy and girl needed was to study tilings that would acquaint them with things concerning country life and the making of better farmers. '•Many a boy or girl goes off t school," he said, "and learns all about Latin roots and Greek roots, and knows nothing about cotton roots and corn roots." The line of study should be carried on by young as well as old was one of his advices. While travel ing in Iloiland sometime ago, he said that he saw men 70 years old and over at tending the short course schools. While abroad lie was not able to find but two countries in Europe that did not have compulsory education, and those two were Belgium and Russia, wr. Poe said that whik 33 cents out of every dollar is going to give the American boy and girl an education in foreign languages, one-half a cent is devoted to domestic science. That the country schools are improving, and that it will not be long until every country boy and girl will be studying text book on agriculture, is one of the beliefs of Mr. Poe. SELLING AGENCY ADVOCATED. He then told the people that one of the things they needed was a sort of selling agency in every town where the farmers could Jeave their produce for local markets and not have to lose a day in trying to dispose of their farm products. A man could l>e secured who would keep up with the market prices and be able to sell the articles for him. After Mr. Poe bad finished, Mr. 11. P. Lutz, vice president of the cream ery company made a short talk on the "Duty of the Patron " •Mr. W.J. Shuford the secretary of the creamery itsfcOciaMon, then made a. few remarks and cailed tor a vote of thanks to Mr. Wade H. Harris and The Charlotte Observer f«r sending a representative there on the occasion, and stated that much of their success in the creamery work was due to tlie newspaper publicity tney had receiv ed. MANNER OF THE WORK. The creamery was started three years ago in a lit tie building for which they paid $lO a month rent, and from this it has .grown to be one of the best organizations of its kind in America and one that has attracted almost un iversal attention At present there are 217 members, 2IH of which belong to the countiy people. Each contri butor to the association is a sharehol der. He sends his fresh milk in every day and i allowed so much for the amount of butter fat It yields. The separated milk is then given back to him. On the fifteenth of each month every contributor of cream is seut a check for the amount the creamery is due him. The price of the shares are HO each and a farmer ca" put chase a HICKORY, N. C., THURSDAY; SEPTEMBER 4. 1913 share by ttiying $2 down and give his note for the remainder to he paid in two years. No person can own more than 20 shares of stock. Last year the association sold over SSI,CuO or butter, $16,000 worih of eggs and $lO,OOO worth of cream. The Catawba batter is ship ped extensively through North and South Carolina. Georgia and some goes into Florida, Many of the col leges and schools and Winter resorts purchase butter from the creamerv. Last, year one patron sold butter fat enough to the creamery to amount to $15,000 while the lowest amount re ceived by a single man last year was $6O. Two herds in the county are equip ped with milking machines with a ca pacity of milking 50 cows an hour, while a number of the people own sep arating machines. There are about 1,200 cows furnishing butter for the creamery and these are.owned by 217 of the farmers of the county. The company is now making 1,000 pounds ot butter daily and expects to pav to the farmers of the cou-ity for th* but ter fat something like sloo,©oo during the coming year. EGG ASSOCIATION. The creamery company has also or ganized among the cream patrons an egg association. Boxes thai, will hold one dozen eggs are given to the farm ers and these are filled with eggs sold under a guarantee to be fresh from the nest. Each box carries the patron's numi>er. A man goes around each day to make a collection of 'lie eggs and cat>h is paid for them. The com pany exp cts to handle something like $50,000 wortli of eggs during the com ing year. During the past jear one woman sold to the association sl6+ worth of eggs. Within a short time the company expects to organize a chicken association and handle them in like manner for the cream patrons. RURAL CREDIT ASSOCIATION. Mr. W. J. Shujford, the organizer of the creamery, and the man who is re sponsible for tiie present prosperity of titie institution, has just organized a rural credit association among the cream patrons, and they will be ready to begin business by the iirst of Octo ber The association will lend money to the farmers to purchase land, or add improvements to their farms. HERD-TESTING ASSOCIATION - FORMED. Mr. Reed, of the field work of the North Carolina Department of Agri culture, was with the people Saturday, and while there organized a herd-test ing association. This association is formed for the purpose of employing one man to make monthly tests of every cow that furnishes milk to the creamery to see that she is producing the proper amount of butler fat with in a nominal cost. In this way, only the best, of cows, and those in the most perfect condition will be kept by the patrons. Five temporary direc tors were appointed among the Cataw ba county farmers and tlie others will be selected from the Shelby and Mooresboro dairies. Each patron pays a certain amount each month for the maintenance of the herd— testing man. By co-operating with the other dair ies, they will be able to employ a man for ihe work who will devote ids en tire time to giving tests in the three dairies. L. R. S. County Commissioners Meet.
