Vol. 1. No. 43 NORTH ORANGE CRE AM ROUTE Will Run From Hillsboro to St. Mary’s and Thence Along Schley Road BURLINGTON THE MARKET A new cream route has been established in the northern l>art of Orange county. It will run from Hillsboro to St. Mary’s schoolhouse, thence to the Schley road, and along the Schley road to Hillsboro. The collection of sour cream is to begin at once. The Bur lington creamery, where the farmers around Chapel Hill have been selling their cream, will be the market. It will take all the sour cream north Or ange people offer, and will pay them good prices based upon the content of butter fat. Years ago there was a cream route in the upper end of the county, but it was discontinued. The recent success of the cow owners around Chapel Hill, which lias demonstrated the success of the scheme, is large ly responsible for the revival. A. C. Kimrey, the assistant State director of dairy exten sion, went over the ground this week and, as a result of his trip, is enthusiastic about the pros pects. "I don’t know any region that has a better chance to make a success of dairying than north Orange,” said Mr. Kimrey yes terday. ‘The soil is rich, the grazing plentiful, the climate just right. Not even the sec tions which have made the greatest success of butter-pro duction are superior to the country I saw here this week.” It is calculated that there are along the new route 100 cows all of whose product should be available for the market. These are over and above the 50 that are needed to supply the farm ers all they need for their own home consumption. What has been done around Mooresville in Iredell county shows what can be accomplish ed in Orange. Ten years ago a creamery was established there. The first churning turn ed out 80 pounds of butter. To day SII,OOO a month, or about $150,0#0 a year, is paid to the farmers around Mooresville by the creamery. This is in a ter ritory smaller than Orange coun ty and no more favorable to dairying. .. —a, , ......

Ike Chapel Hill Weekly LOUIS GRAVES Editor Chapel Hill Chaff The other night at the supper of the Men’s Club the president, Rev. A. S. Lawrence, looked around in search of somebody to lead off with the singing. His eye lit upon our table, and ihe said: “Mr. Toy, will you | start us on ‘There’s a long, long trail a-winding’?” Now, Mr. Carter, who is byway of being a celebrated singer, was sitting next to the professor of German, and I thought he looked a bit surprised that the invitation fell upon a pew-sitter instead of a choir-sitter. Mr. Toy was ac ; eommodating abut it, but visibly I embarrassed. He did well with the job, but I believe he would | rather it fall to Mr. Carter the ; next time. * * * During two weeks of mild I weather I very carefully and r very proudly steered by auto i mobile into my new garage j every night.

R. P.

The purchase of the Guernseys was arranged about two weeks ago when a group of north Orange farm -1 ers went to Rowan county scout ing for fine cattle. It it thought that more of these registered cows will be got by Orange coun ty men from the same source 1 before the winter is out. CHAPEL HILL, N. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20,1923 MORE APPROVAL OF THE STADIUM Alumni Continue to Urge Bet ter Provision for Crowds at Athletic Events GEN. CARR LIKES SCHEME The suggestion that the Uni versity should have a great sta dium, to accommodate the ever growing crowds at athletic con tests, continues to bring forth messages of approval from alumni. approval from alumni. Angus Wilton McLean writes from his home* in Lumberton: “1 have read your editorial about the stadium with great interest and I am in hearty accord with it. As I stated before the Alum ni Association in Fayetteville in October, I believe that in ten years the University will have at least s,Out) students, and that the attendance will steadily in crease in future years. Athletic contests will grow in import ance as the University expands. I believe it is only a question of time when a larger place to stage these contests will be a prime necessity. Even now, the present facilities are entirely inadequate.” George Stephens of Ashe ville, a former University ath lete and for the last score of years one of the most active men in alumni affairs, writes that the idea ought to be “put across” without delay. Mr. Stephens’ letter will be published in the next issue of the Weekly, two weeks hence. General Julian S. Carr is an other who is strong for it. Loy al citizen of Durham though he is, he is not in sympathy with the proposal that his home city should attempt, by building a stadium, to draw thither the University’s big games. “The University by all odds is the place to erect the stadium or howl,” he writes to the edi tor. "Tell Greensboro and Dur ham to keep off the grass.” The rest of General Carr’s letter is as follows: I quote from your editorial these words: ‘We simply must have an enclosure adequate for the accommodation of vaster ciowds than have gathered thus far. 1 have been absent from home, and so was unable to give endorsement earlier to your wise plan. A stadium at Durham or at Greensboro does not meet the question at all. We must have a bowl at the University suffi ciently large to meet the Uni versity s needs. 1 believe that Honorable W. N. Everett is right when he says a stadium oi bowl can bu buiit.by alumni subscribing for shares of stock,, with the right to seats.” New Road Completed A bate! surface road from
