CREAMERIES IN THE SOUTH With the coming of the boll weevil to the Carolines one of the sources at ? Income which has hardly been tapped in the past?the milk cow?is becoming of interest Every farmer cannot sell whole miik, but every farmer can sell cream to established creameries, to ice-cream factories and to the large distributors in the cities. Please note the word established, and do not let some over-enthusiastic pro moter induce you to start a creamery until there is an actual need. Sink community pride and sectional jeal ousies, if such .exist, and join in mak ing a success of these creameries now struggling for existence; they cannot succeed unless they can increase their output, and this cannot be accom plished without an additional supply of raw material. In this connection I earnestly com mend to your attention the following interesting article published in the July issue of the Southern Farm and Dairy journal. Georgia is not the only State suffering from the condi tion described.. ?Dublin, Ga. ? The Dublin, Ga. Creamery and other creameries through Georgia who owe their exist ence to a form of temporary insanity which drives people to create things and either leave them to run alone or without raw material, faces the same situation that other creameries through the state are facing, or have faced?that is a shortage of raw dairy products. Appeal after, appeal has been made for more sweet milk and cream, but little response has been noticed. The bankers'- of Dublin, realizing the great asset of an institution which means cash money for dairy products twelve months each year, arrived at a means whereby farmers might be assisted in the purchase of proper dairy cattle. The plan, briefly out lined, was that wherever farmers showed an interest in dairying and were equipped to feed and care for a blooded animal, the banks honored his draft for the price of a cow, or cows as the case happened, and several months credit was given the purchas er. Only a relative small number have availed themselves of such an op portunity to eqhip their farms. With the present supply of raw dairy products the local creamery will continue to operate, but manufactur ing only about one-third of its full capacity. Last week 900 pounds of butter were shipped, and officials of the creamery state that material for 3,000 pounds could have been handl ed with a* little Expense and trouble. Persona having a formula for creat ing interest in dairying, will confer a favor on middle Georgia by advis ing the Dublin Chamber of Commerce of the methods. . We clip the above from the Macon News. No use in now giving Dublin advice, it is too late, but to other towns in Georgia, having enthusiastic Kiwannies, Rotary, Lions and other innumerable civic bodies, who are do ing much for their respective cities and towns, but whose seal, in some instances, is greater than their knowledge, we would say, be sure dairying is sufficiently developed in your territory before you install a creamery. Otherwise, you are not alone throwinging away your own money, but probably killing som# other creamery by drawing from its territory. Such inconsiderate action in this and other industries has been a bane to Georgia and a reflection on the intelligence of the state. The following clipped from the Progress-Argus published at Jackson, Ga., is a tribute to the good sense of the farmers of that section who prob ably produce more milk than those of any other section not having a cream ery. "Georgia,the latest figures show has thirteen creameries, the most of them being built during the past few months. The fear is expressed that the creamery business is likely to be overdone. Better to support a few good creameries than have so many struggling for an existence. There is no danger of overdoing the sour cream business. There is always de mand for sour cream and sour cream dairying is the kind that pays the average farmer best in the long run." G. CARDWELL, Agricultural and Industrial Agent, Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. 0 ADMINISTRATORS NOTICE Having this day qualified as admin istrator of the estate of J. R.
