Large Feldspar '
Plant Opened
Described as the largest feld
spar refining plant in the world,
the Carolina Mineral Company
has opened its new Kona plant
at the confluence of the North
and South Toe Rivers in Mitch
ell county.
It is the first commercial
plant using the flotation meth
od oi concentrating feldspar.
Previously, feldspar has been
separated from the other min
erals with which it occurs by
a laborious and inefficient
hard-sorting. Kona will recover
mica and quartz as byproducts, j
Ore for the new plant is ob
tained from a pegmatite dike
located just a few hundred feet
from the mill, but purchase j
from other producers is con- '
tem plated.
Feldspar is an aluminum sil
icate containing varying
amounts of soda and potash. It
finds its way into chinaware,
enamel ware, glass building
blocks, window glass, electrical
porcelain, radio and radar parts,
etc. It is also an ingredient in
many well-known, brands of
cleansers or scouring powder as
a non-scratching abrasive.
R, W, Lawson of Erwin, Tenn.,
is president of the Consolidated
Feldspar corporation, which is
the parent company of Carolina
Mineral Company. Ed Boone of
Spruce Pine is general manager
of the corporation, and E. W.

Southern Dairies, Inc.
Three years ago, Southern Dairies, Inc., be
gan purchasing milk from Macon County
farmers, through Mr. A. B. Slagle's Naintahala
Creamery. This Company will continue their
market here, receiving Grade "A" milk.
If you have four or five good dairy cows,
see J. D. Elrod at Nantahala Creamery, who
will explain how you can produce this Grade
"A" milk.
Southern Dairies, Inc.
Asheville, N. C.
Grade "A" Dairy Barn In PrentiM Section
Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Teague, In the Prentiss community have completed a Grade "A"
Dairy barn. This barn Is complete, having six stanchious feed room and milk . room. The
milk room is equipped with a three compartment wash sink, electric cooler, can racks, hot
and cold water. The hot water is supplied from the hot water heater on the range In the
kitchen of the home.
The following materials were used to construct the barn: Lumber $127.45, sand and ce
ment $49.50, pipe $40.20, nails $5.00, labor $38.00, rent on cement mixer $9.50. metal roofing
$60.00, light fixtures $30.00, paint $9.25, windows and doors $13.66, sheet rock $15.00, making
a total of $397.56. If a farmer has his own timber the cost of the lumber could be cut down
considerably.
Now that the Southern Dairies Co. is buying Grade "A" milk direct from the farmers
they will help finance the construction of a barn, buying equipment and oows and take so
much from each milk check.
The Teagues are selling above 3,000 pounds of milk each fifteen days. Their check is
above $100.00 for the same period of time. The milk subsidy paid by the government is 75
cents per hundred which would make their total receipts around $125.00 each fifteen days.
Woodrow says that every other milk check is clear profit above the feed cost. With plenty
of hay, silage, permanent and temporary, pasture, this margin of profit can be increased.
Work has already been started on the pastures with the application of lime and phosphate.
An upright silo has just been completed at a cost of $107.00. Temporary pastures will be
seeded using a mixture of winder legumes and small grain.
