BREVARD, NOR* VOLUME XXXV. X. JOTsSSjri 1 IUf ? IH rrsz,,. _i JANUARY M, S93C KRAFT CHEESE CO. START FACTORY IN HENDERSONVME Would Operate~T ruck From Lake Toxaway to the Cheeie Factory OTHER COUNTIES TO JOIN IN OPERATION Nogoliatioiis Being Made by Heuderwnville Chamber of Commerce Body There is strong probability that the big Kraft cheese manufacturing concern will locate a plant at Hen dersonvilie, similar to the one in op eration at West Jefferson, this state, ( A delegation from the Hendersonvilie Chamber of Commerce met with the agricultural committee of the Bre vard Chamber of Commerce Tuesday evening and told of the progress th*t has already been made in the matter, j The proposition has now reached the point where the company will give consideration to the establish ment of the plant in Hendersonvilie provided the surrounding counties will co-operate to the extent of fur nishing milk to make a minimum supply of ten thousand pounds daily. Polk county, a part of Yancy, Buncombe, a portion of Haywood and Transylvania counties are "l*?" upon to furnish milk for the Dig concern. Hendersonvilie has agreed to meet the demands of the company insofar as the erection of the plant is con cerned, and all the surrounding coun ties are asked to do is to make a sur vey and see about how many cows there are to be pledged by owners to furnish milk for the plant. The cheese manufacturer does not require grade A milk, only ordinary home and farm care of the cows and tho milking being required. That is, just as a family ordinarily handlea milk for home consumption _ is the only requirement in furnishing for the factory, doing away with all expense of cream separators, or making barns conform to certain standards, and so on. In this county a truck wouid run from Lake Toxaway each morning to Hendersonvilie, taking the milk tnat had oeen jKrt along the highway, to . the factory. Returning in the after noon the truck would leave tho empty nans at each man's station along the road. _ Communities off the main highway would have to ndopt some plan of delivery to the main highway of the supplies offered for sale in those communities. Several farmers of this county were present and pledged their heart v co-operation in the matter. It is known that many fam ilies living in Brevard now milking one cow, plan to purchase two or three or more cows end sell milk to the factory, in event Hendersonvilie is successful in obtaining the plant. West Jefferson plant is now doubl ing its size, and reports from the counties surrounding that town are to the effect that conditions are un usually good there, since the milk checks come in regularly every pay day. , Greenville, Tennessee, says their milk plant there means more to the citizenB of that county than the big rayon plant at E.Hzabethton means to tho county in which it is located. More than a million dollars n year is nnid to the farmers of Greene coun tv for the milk supplied to 4;he big plant there. Fact is. the report* from every section where these plents operate, whether it be the big cheese manu facturing concern or the Pet Milk company operating, the countryside about such ceniers is a beehive of activity and prosperity. The agricultural committee of the Chamber of Commerce, after thor ough investigation, voted unanimous ly ? recommend to the Chambur of Commerce that Brevard and Tran ?yUar.'a county enter into tho prop osition, and if Hendersonvilie is ucce- 'ul in landir. nucleus of a Y. M. C. A. This action on the part 01' the club came about after the membership had listened to Rev. R. L. Alexander, pastor of the Brevard Presbyterian church, extol the needs of the boys and young men of the town. Rev. Mr. Alexander declared that Brevard boys and young men were like all young men of today ? imbued with a restlessness, coming from an excess of energy as is apparent in all growing- humans or animals; that this energy was going to be put into something, either good or bed, and "that if it reverted to the bad it would be through fault of the parents and leaders of the community in not pro viding adequato ways, tasteful and appealing to the young fellows, in which to talfe care of this excess en-: ergy. ..J I In advocating the thsory of a gytn, ' Mr. Alexander stated that the idea [could be put into effect at first in a smr.ll way, under the leadership and [guidance of older men, of whom Bre vard is well blessed with several rec jogniz^ types fitted for this work. Beginning with a basketball court, , Mi. Alexander stated, the idea could be expanded, until such time when 'a more complete program *:ould be [carried out. W. E. Breese, Jerry Jerome and iiev. Mr. Alexander were appointed by Vice President J. B. Jones of the Kiwanis Club, to go into the matter thoroughly and make report to the c'ub at ita meeting on Thursday of1 this week.
