The Vesta Bright Eyes says that
the Underwood creamery is not get.
ting enough milk from its patrons
to make the undertaking a success,
the cause of this being assigned to
the statement that the creamery
started too late in the season. The
Underwood creamery is located in
one of the best agricultural and
grazing districts of the county and
there is no reason why it should
not be as successful as any other
creamery in the county. AS soon
as the patrons get an opportunity
to increase their herds, and this op-
portunity will arise in the near flu
ture, it is certain that the Under
wood creamery will be success.
