Mt fl.00 YEAR?Sc COPY GRANT MADE TO CREAMERY BY TVA CO-OPS Brantown Farmers Organization Has Been Operating For Past Fire Years Mr? Jfs n C. Campbell, Director of he John C. Campbell Folk School at Bras?town, North Carolina, in peaking Tuesday night at the Lions* Club "Cherokee County" Dinner meeting at Murphy, announced that the Mountain Valley Creamery and Farmers' Association were to receive a grant from the Tennessee Valley Au ? ority Cooperatives, a subsidiary * the Tennessee Valhy Authority. Mrs. Campbell said in part, "The nterist of the Tejinc-ssee Valley \ulbority in the welfare of all part* f the Tennessee Basin is evidenced n the first grant ma o by the sudsidiarj, the Ttnnes^ee Valley Authority oope: ativ< s. This grant is in the . <rm of a loan without interest, t<> the Mountain Valley Creamery an J the F :rmeis* As ociation? of B?*asstown, North Carolina. Both of these associations, under t..e leadership of the John C. Campbell Foil: School, have c-rat id successfully for fi.e year*, in the face of many iitficuliies. "In 11*33 the C.etmery set etd ."Ob shippers over 100 .-quat miles n: tp:rit.rv in 4 in VnrtJi Carolina am. Georgia. The jutput rost from 24,539, p unds in 1929 t> 103,1 i no?j ,n 193?: the average price received dropped from 44c per pound .i m'.'Jj to .u i Production i-'-'V this more than qua.lt uplc'J, although the amount received was not quite doubled. "The Farmers' Association for the 11 months February-l). cumber, 1933, had c mmodity purchases of $8,993.58 with sales of $10,133.99. The Creamery' and Farmers Associations have an interlocking service in collections of cieam andtoggs, tfeeddeliveries, barter of feed for eggs, anu in marketing trips to the wholesale dealers, which works to the great advantage of each. "WiUh the assistance ot the T. V. A. Cooperatives, the two organizations give a much more extended service to the section. The plan is to enlarge the Cieamery building at once, putting in new machinery and a refrigeration plant. A poultry fattening and dieting plant will also be built, and later a community canneiy ?nd-plant for the curing of spec ? hams. The storage capacity v Farmers* Association warehouse will also be enlarged. This is in line with the T. V. A.'s plans to encourage local industries and finished products instead of i.he shipping out of raw materials. "This program will be of interest to every farmer in Cherokee and Clay ar.u adjoining Georgia counites. A maiket for our dairy products, chickens, pigs, the latter probably in a small way, with some means of utiliz ing. our surplus garden stulf, will meet :he needs of most of our farmers. In line with the New deal, of which we hear so much, is the cooperative ganization form of tiiis market, a movement intedned to give opportunity to all, not to enrich a few only. All we need is to understand and fully . coit this service." Mrs. CampDeil, in encouraging the development of the dairy industry in this region, quoted Mr. F. R. Fanrham. Extension Dairyman of the State Agricultural College, Raleigh, J saying, "I think the dairy industry - established itself in this territory. I** th? past four years when so many o.iei types of business enterprises have failed, when there was nothing from which the farmers could get any cash, the industry still grew, and the farmers found that they could depend on this small though sure income. Since it has eone throuerh this depression, it has proved that it is an industry worth expanding. The farmers have depended on it and can depend on it if they use good dairy practices. "If the quality of butter is held up, there is no reason why we i.ioul'd not have as good butter as any in the South, but this can be done only if the farmers does his part. "Merchants in North CaorKna are more and more demanding North Carolina butter because they realize it is fresher and therefore more satisfactory." The secretary-treasurer of the local Brasstown Cooperatives Committee, which will serve as intermediary between the TV AC and the cooperatives, is Miss Marguerite Butler. Other member.- cf the Committee are Mr. J. O. Penland and Mr. Lucius Scroggs. Mrs. Campbell and Miss Butler lounetd the John C. Campbell Folk School at Brasstown in December of
