OLD PROCESS MODERNIZED Dr. Gentry, Sanatorium Doctor, Runs Cane Syrup Plant in Person County ^ rtf Q mnHpl of thp O BY DICK BYRD < A native son’s desire to perpe tuate and modernize a farm en terprise that he knew as a boy has brought Person County an agri-business unique in North Carolina. Dr. W H. Gentry, member of the medical staff at the North Carolina Sanatorium, McCain, was reared on a farm neat Roxboro. Today, he is owner of the Mill Creek Processing Company where I mechanized plant turns out ‘quality sorghum table syrup” from cane grown in the vicinity of old Gentry homeplace. The new plant not only manu factures one of the most succu lent products hereabouts, it has boosted the growth of cane as a new money crop in Person’s al ready diversified economy. Dr. Gentry cites several reasons for the unique venture, first of its kind in the state. First, he,knew old-time molasses making as a boy and wanted to see the practice continued. He also wanted to diversify his farm to produce off season income. Third, he wanted to introduce a cropwit h no gov ernment controls. He also saw in the. molasses plant a pleasurable hobby for himself on weekends away from duties at McCain. Manager of the Gentry farm, A. T. Clark, also doubles as man ager of the sorghum plant that processes cane juice from mid- September through mid-Novem ber. The mill turns out 350 gallons of sorghum daily and gives em ployment to 10 people during a normally quiet time in the agri cultural community of Mill Creek. This is the second season of operation for Dr. Gentry’s plant, named for a nearby tributary of Maho Creek. The Mill Creek plant processes up to 25 tons of cane daily. The blindfolded mule that once trod a circle to operate the cane press is gone from the scene, replaced by electric motors that do the job better and quicker. The cooking tables, traditional ly covered only by an open shel ter at the old mill, are housed inside well-screened buildings at Mill Creek. In fact, the entire operation, after the juice is squeezed from the cane, is in doors, a departure from the olden days when the molasses mill attracted as many yellow jackets as children eager to sample the toothsome product. The straining, bottling, capping and labeling are done by hand. Containers are then displayed for sale at the mill or packed for shipment in half-pint, pint, quart, half-gallon and gallon sizes. Dr. Gentry admits that most of his effort so far has been in de signing and installing the equip ment. He plans now to begin promoting the sorghum and to encourage more farmers to grow for the mill. Future plans by the doctor turned molasses-maker call for erection of a model of the old type cane mill as a curiosity piece. -O' SWWSFWEND! 7 Join now!
