Gaston Party On Visit
Saw Much Of Interest
Gastonia Editor Describes Tour
Made of This County. High
lights Seen
Cleveland county farmers should!
be interested in the following ac
count of the Gaston tour of this
county as described by Hugh
query, editor of the Gastonia '
Gazette.
* * *
Gaston county farmers, some 50
,)r i\0 strong, visited Cleveland I
coui.ty Wednesday, saw some of
the fine cotton fields of the coun
ty, inspected the creamery, and
the Shelby milk plant, the former
plant making butter and selling a
big amount in Gastonia every
week, the latter buying only whole
milk, took a look at the cold stor
age plant in which eggs bought up
at 20 or 25 cents in the spring and
early summer, are stored and sold |
Inter on the New York markets
f„r 50, <30 . 75 cents per dozen,
went to three successful poultry
farms in the southern er. 4 o^.-'Tne
county, and brought the day to a
close at five o’clock in the after
noon with an inspection of O. Max
Gardner’s “Moreperacre” farm near
the Cleveland county fair grounds.
It was a big day for those who
went along and every body thor
oughly enjoyed it. The Cleveland
folks treated their guests right
royalty. Nothing was left undone
for their comfort and pleasure.
They entertained the whole outfit |
at dinner at the Cleveland Springs j
hotel and would not let. a single j
one of us say a word about paying (
for it. County agent Hardin and ;
secretary of the Shelby chamber!
of commerce, Newton, took the on- ;
tire day off and went the rounds
with the visitors, as did Paul I
Webb, popular insurance man of I
Shelby, Max Gardner went part of 1
the way, but court business call- j
ed him back. Lee B. Weathers, edi- !
tor of the Cleveland Star, desert- |
ed his post on press day, put his j
Buick into service and went along
on the morning trip. So did Sena
tor Sam Lattimore.
Everybody tried to outdo them-1
selves in giving the Gaston coun- j
ty folks a good time.
me nrst ;aunt was in tne morn-;
ing soon after arriving in Shelby i
about ten o’clock. The motorcade
of some 15 or 20 cars went out 1
highway No. 18 tpward Fallston. j
At Mr. 0. M. Mull’s farm we saw |
cotton that was “cotton.” Much of i
i it will make a bale to the acre;
some not so much; some will make
more. The army worm is getting
in its most damaging work now,
although it is almost too late for
it to do much harm. The leaves of
the cotton plant are literally be
ing riddled by the pest. After the
worm has been on the stalk for a
week or two, the leaves look like
lace.
Cleveland made 40,000 bales of
cotton lajt year and the chances
are the county will produce 50,
000 this year, Mr. Mull said.
Those farmers up there put the
fertilizer to their cotton. That is
one of the big secrets of their suc
cess in raising so much cotton.
Some of the fields of Max
Gardner’s “Moreperacre” farm
have been planted in cotton con
tinuously for more than 40 years
and the land does not seem to be
hurting. 1^ has been commonly
fold that land should be rotated
from year to year, and that plant
'ag in cotton from year to year
would ruin it. Mr. Gardner says if
enough fertilizer to equal what
!* taken away in the cotton seed
in food value is applied, the land
will not suffer. Tbe stalks, leaves,
hollsi etc-, make enough humu*

mt ,^'am I-inebcrger, presi
, n‘ the Cleveland Bank and
• company, told the farmers
something about the creamery he
run.- ir. Shelby. Nine year* ago it
was broke, as were nearly all the
creameries in the state at that
time, loday it is paying handsome
dividends and making 300,000
pounds of butter a year, much of
which comes right to the Gastonia
grocery stores and is eaten every
day by Gastonians. The capital
stock is $57,000. It is a coopera
tive concern, but that does not
mean thai everybody runs it. That
is the trouble with most coopera
tive creameries. Mr. Lineberger
runs this creamery and the stock
holders have no more to do with its
policy and maagement tnan a cot
ton mill stockholder in Gastonia
has to do with running the cotton
miU.
This creamery buys the butter
fat from the farmer. It is collected
over some 10 routes established
and maintained by route carriers,
who get a commission on the milk
they collect. Some of them make
as high as $250 or $300 a month
in commissions from milk collec
tions, Mr. Linebregcr said. They
get five cents per pound for col
lecting the rhilk or butter fat,
which must test five per cent.
Most of the milk for this cream
ery comes from the small farmer,
the man with three or four cows.
There are not many big dairymen
m Cleveland county, that is, men
with 25 or 30 head, like the Falls,
Ar.thonys, Pearsons, etc., here in
Gaston. There are only three or
four and they maintain the Shel
bv Milk Plant, to which all of
their whole milk is delivered and
from which it is distributed. More
of this plant later.
Mr. Lmeberger said that the
creamery is supplied with butter
fat by some 1,200 farmers, none
of whom owned more than five or
eight cows at the most. The major
ity were ordinary farmers with
four or five cows and the milk they
sold was surplus from what they
used. They separated it and kept
the skim milk for their pigs and
chickens. By having oniy a small
numbers cows each man has p'en
ty of time to devote to his other
farming interests. His cows did
not take his whole time and ener
gy, as is the case with the aver
age dairyman in this county. The
farmers are paid 40 cents per
pound for -this butterfat, which is
equivalent to about 30 cents per
gallon for the milk, it is said.
Some of the Gaston farmers did
not appear satisfied with that,
some ylaiming that it was worth
more than that, others saying that
it was better to unload it at that
price and go on back home and go
to work, rather than peddle it
around town. Quite an argument
ensued among some of them.
After dinner we visited the
creamery and saw something of
how it works. It was the slack
time-and there was not much do
ing. The plant is very small and
has only about $6,500 worth of
equipment in it, but it turns out
200.000 pounds of butter a year.
The milk is delivered every
morning on a platform at one
side of the creamery plant. There
is nothing more to it than the

“We take any amount that a
man brings to us," Mr. Lincber
ger said, “even if it is hut a pint
of cream—we test it, and pay him
for too. Some of oar month
ly checks for cream n n yu high
as .$100. The average is consider
ably h ss than that.”
“It is enough to buy nearly all
the staple groceries, sugar, coffee,
rice, flour, etc., that the farmers
needs,” put in Max Gardner at
this point. “It often helps him to
buy school books for his children,
too,” he added. “That is where it
help us—it furnishes a constant
i:rime the year round. The farm
er:: don’t have to wait until f:;!l
for money.”
The Shelby Milk Plant, located
ferairst the creamery is a sepa
rate organization owned principal
ly by two or three big dairymen
who buy much whole milk from
other dairymen who do not sell to
the creamery, or who do not de
liver from house to house. They
pay only 30 cents per gallon for
whole milk and retail it at GO
cen’s. It is p&sturized in this
plant. The milk is first heated to
123 degrees, then cooled down to
48, bottled, capped and crated, all
by machinery. It is a very interest
ing process, but the Gaston county
milk men did not fancy the idea
of getting only 30 cents per gallon
for their milk and then seeing it
sold for twice that amount. Fact
of the matter, Max Gardner
brought down the house at the
lunchdon at Cleveland Springs
when he tplu the farmers that the
trouble with, them was that every

I would get nauseated. I would

“I would take pills until I was
worn-out with them. I didn’t seem
to get relief. After taking the pills
my bowels would act a couple or
three times, then I would be very
constipated.
"A neighbor told mo of Black

never have found so much relief
as It gave me. I would not ba
without it for anything.
“It seemed to cleanse my whole

One of the things they learned is
that a man can make some money
out of four or five cows, it does
rot take a herd of twenty or
thirty to put one into the dairy
business. Furthermore, that this
method is the better way of going
into the business. They learned,
too, what can tie done in the poul

demonstrated before their eyes.
The creamery and milk plants also
were of especial interest and

the reason that the farmers of this

in a creamery and have been talk
