The idea la that North-' Carolina had as well make Its cheese as Import it by the thousands of tons from other states. Two factories were placed in oper ation during the spring, both in Hay wood county one at Grassy Creek and the other at Cove Creek. Both are turning out a very good grade of cheese. The experiment station Is prepared to give instructions for the manufac ture of schweitzer, limberger or In fact any variety oC cheese, but It is anticipated that the standard Ameri can cheese will be the kind most gen erally manufactured in the state.

In the north parafine is used and serves verv sit. I )sfactorily for keeping the moisture of the product from escaping. In the south the climate'ls not suited to the use of parafine and the dairy division is trying to work out a combination that will do the work of parafine in protecting the cheese and yet not be so readily affected by heat.
