FUNDAMENTAL RKQL'IRR
MENTS FOR A CftE>MKRY
! S
Many creameries have been bqtjt^
- in th* South, and many of the*?
where there was no probability of
pwcesi. These k i n ris <jf bosires*
failures have usually been pvhfd
fcpen communities by ?bankers, end
other business men around towns,
who know nothing about the ^ream
tiy business. The business man's
?interest is usually, developed by- an
rut-aider, acme on? coming to hrm
who has the ability t> paint a beau
tiful picture about what a creamery
will do to the town in which the busi
ness man happens to live. We u?cd
to call these kind* of polished strang
ers creamery promoters. Fortunate
ly few of them a** circulating in the
Sruth now. Seme years ago the
weeds, and towns, were full of them.
So full, in fact, that each College of
Agriculture in the South had to keep
one man busy undoing: what ttiey
<-id. In my own youthful days I
frequently >.nd t*re unpleasant task,
'?.r;tuso of the activities of-'airac
stranger- of going before business
rntn and farmers and teiling fchem
that their compiumty was not r^adv
ior a creamery. As . a rule, such
service 'was not appreciated. In many
cr.fe? such service was vehemently
r? sented> especially by business men,
wiio not uncommonly invited me to:
take the next tarin out cf town and
)et them run their wn business.
When the invitation to go wa* b\\f
1 'cirntly emphatic I usually used j
good judgment an d went ? and allow -
<d them to b.nild a /'promoted cream
ery"? the kind which is always jtoo
expensively built, and usually placed
in the wrong community.
This is not saying, though, that
there is not a place fnr the creamery
ir? the South. There is a place for
(?? < aineries? when they are put in
the right place. Dozens cf success
ful ^ntmeries prove that there is
a place for therfi. &ut before on? j?
bo;lt those who put their money in
to it fhruld leaow that srme eon
il'itibns .must prevail before a. cream
fry can bi? made a success. What
are some of the fundamentals?
The first requirement for ihe" siic
ce*s; of a creamery is a supply of
milk or cream. Thero must be some
cows in the community, cr definite |
J?rrangements; made for cews to be J
brought in. if we should place the I
number. of cows at a definite figutt?. j

nx to grind. Even better, the vrhole
subject can be property handled by
the county agents *he public s^iryant
who I ves right next to the problem
ititeif, and is a responsible employe
of the agricultural college.
.The third requirement for the *uc-j
? cV** ?f a creamery is capable ba.^i
ne?c management. Too often a
bright creamery prospect ia allowed
to "go glimmering" because of clieap
and incapable management. The
eompAity had just as well know tfcat
an ordinary^ untrained man eaimot
handle the business. The making
. til good batter, in large amounts, and
for r. man of high ability and special
? training. Young men 1n agricultural
college* usually spend four long years
^ ? ftttii. vr themselves for aucb wjltIs.
4^? Tlii* *orl^of nosUion demands 1 yen
more than the technical ability to
make an market butter. It calls
fcr a man who cnn deal with the
public in a smooth, pleasant, and
fcusiness-like manned. Those who
sell milk product* t& a creamery must
be constantly educated ? and the
management cannot be had, or if
the stockholders are net willing to
pay the salary required to secure
and held a man cf this high type, it
were better that the propositi n be
abandoned in the 'beginning.
The fourth requirement has to do
with thi da'crmi nation of the farm
ers who invest in the creamery to
stick with it. Most creameries, at
one time or another, face keen com
petition. S-me of them are cal'cd
upon to face unfair competition. If
those who own the cows and pro
vide the fat can be pulled away from j
their cwn neighborhood business
when a rjmpetitor corner and hold-s
out a temporary advantage in price,
the citizenry is a kind which m^kes
the creamery business an uncertain
one. In other words, when the
creamery is built the stockholders
and neighbe^s- must insist \ipon good
management and th^n stand by the
management. If the neighberhood
has not thcrou?ghly discussed this
point of 4tstick-to-it iveness" and
come to one mind about it, it will
be welj for the enterprise to be aban
doned or postponed.
GoodWhe^tYield
Our good friend, Mr. Arbert 31a
lock of route I repcrts a splendid
yield of wheat. From 11 bushels
sown he threshed 180 bushels, mak
ing an average of nearly *18 to one.
Mr. Blalock is recognised as one of
the very best farmers in the Coun
ty, being one the few who "live
at home'* twelve months in the year.

prediction was passed on July 21
when motor No. 14.000,000 came off

Some idea of the present enormous
production of Ford cars is obtained
when it is recalled that it was only
a little ht;rre than two years ago,
Tune 4th, 1924, that the famous Ten
