The establishment of this station
will act as an inducement to the peo
1 pie of th*> Martins Creek section to
begin to sell cream in small quanti
tits with a gradual increase, who oth
erwise would not take the trouble to
bring to town small quantities. Some
IS months ago a cream station was
established at Brasstown. The first
week, only 43 lbs of cream was re
ceived, but now over 1000 lbs are be
ing r .Ived weekly, and provides

it section. It is planned to
t -mi another station in the coun
ty eithei this week or at an early
date, just where the county agent
could not say.
Ai\. and 1200 lbs of cream is being
shipped out of the county at present,
and it is expected th.it this amount
will be doubled in a few months, as

hard work, and began to sink down.
