Has Never Made Money in Dairy
ing As Implied, and Finds But
ter and Cheese Unprofitable
To The Pilot:
Sirce my illness my family say that
I am deafer and mumble worse than
ever—that I talk with my stomach
rather than with my lips.
This explains why the statements
that follow do not entirely correspond
with Mr. Butler’s article in The Pi
lot of November 29th. I say this since
my family as yet haven’t said any
thing about my eye sight having fail-
ed and among their various uncompli
mentary remarks of the increased
signs of old age, I haven’t heard them
say that I prevaricate any worse than
I have averaged, say, for the past ten
years.
Dairying is the only business of the
sixty odd that I have tackled in the
past forty years on which I have
never made money. I know, however,
that where a man can get the State’s
average price of 18 cents a quart or
more for his entire output for the
year that the dairying business is of
ten very profitable.
If I could have understood the ques
tions Mr. Butler asked me and if I
had not mumbled so badly he would
have said that the making of butter
and cheese in any portion of North
Carolina, outside of the natural grass
lands of the mountains, will be found
very unprofitable as it means selling
4 per cent at 5 cents a quart. How
ever, butter making that simply takes
the surplus milk of a community is
v^ery valuable, but it should be mgerely
a sort of safety valve to take the
surplus that is bound to come from
time to time.
As to pasturage, our experiments
of the past two years are encourag
ing but We must remember that we
have had two wet summers.
Lastly, I believe most firmly that
the time will come when on the bet
ter lands of the State we will make
butter as cheaply and as profitably
as it can be made anywhere in the
United States but the proper methods
and procedures have not been devis
ed yet, an I am sure that it hasn’t
been done yet, and I am also sure
it cannot be done by the methods em
ployed in Wisconsin and the other
big butter making states.
My advice is to every farmer in
Moore County to make his milk, first
for himself and family and next to
make it to sell if he can get an aver
age of 18 cents a quart for it the
year around, and when there is a
surplus in either of the above cases,
sell the cream if possible to be made
into butter.
Very truly yours,
LEONARD TUFTS.

The Sandhills Woman’s Exchange op
ened yesterday to the public for the
season under the leadership of Mrs.
j George Howard, acting as president.
} The other officers are Mrs. Richard
I Lovering, vice president; Mrs. Jack
son H. Boyd, secretary, and Mrs. J.
R. Page, treasurer. To the entire
Sandhills, the exchange offers a great
deal. Everything which is sold from
sacks of pinecones to fifty-year old
quilts is the handiwork of the women
of the mid-Southern states. They
bring or send their work in from all i jj
parts of this county, most of it being; ;♦
entirely voluntary. At times these | *♦
women are given suggestions by the i;;
exchange to follow out, for example, | H
how to make certain articles which j ||
the exchange knows to be readily sale-1 tt
able. The policy of this shop has been j
to make use of as many articles ' ♦♦
brought in as it possible can in or-
der to encourage the workers to put | H
forth thair best efforts. A special; tt
committee which decides upon the 1
price to be placed on each article as j ♦♦
it comes in. The whole system is i **
based on charity lines. I W
The Woman’s Exchange is partic- ; §
ularly interesting to the Northerner, ' §
who may find there inexpensive gifts H
as well as the valuable ones, to take ||
North as remembrances, com shuck
I mats, pine needle baskets and figures,

ANOTHER CLUB DEDICATED
Thanksgiving Day was the occasion
for the dedication of another of the mul
tiplying club houses that are opening in
the vicinity of Weymouth Heights.
The fine new club house, “The Pad
dock,” was opened by a group of the mem
bers who had come down from New York
for the occasion, and what a day it would
have been for that hardy old settler Sandy
Monroe, if he could have looked in on
what was once a part of his possessions
and seen the marvelous change. Great
brick building, fine stables with a troop of
fiorses, electric lights, telephones, automo
biles there in the heart of his low ground,
and all the marvels of the present day.
Weymouth Heights is pushing over
the ridge and out into the valley, and it is
a wondrous quarter of the Sandhills home
belt and play ground.
