The Newport correspondent of the Ia

The Newport correspondent of the Ban

1t must be very gratifying to the ne@

has been increased to 1o2 and these will
be advanced within a short time in all

crease.
The force at the factory has been in
creased by the addition of two hands. SO
that it now numbers "A. and last month :

amount paid the farmers. last month. for
milk was Sil9.e5 The milk receipts,
Tuesday. were Zen pounds.
The advance in tn. prices paid for milk
has made some Of the farmers skirmish
to find cows to increase their herds, but
good cows are scarce and they bring Il
good price. The statement of one citizen
who has been hunting for cows and could
not find them at so per head. gives an
illustration of the figures at which good
cows are being held
Mr.. Waters stated to the Commercial
"Wednesday that there is a movement on
foot to start up the factory al Winthrop
built about 10 years ago. the same to be
used as condensed milk factory The
citizens Of Winthrop have never beeIi
fully satisfied to have the large and fine
building which was erected with a view
Of being of great assistance to the dairy
interests of that section. used simply a,
a storehouse.
Recently. prominent citizens Of that
town addressed a letter to the Borden
Condensed Milk Co. and asked what that
company would be willing Ia do to help
them 10 start up the factory The COM
pany asked the citizens of Winthrop 10
find out what they would do and then to
render a statement. 1t is more than prob
able that the farmers of Winthrop VIII
find plenty of milk for the factory
Mr. Waters was sent to Winthrop one
day recently by the Borden Co. To look
over the factory. and he states that 1t is
a first-class building for the purpose, bII
that all of the machinery except two
boilers and the piping was taken out ana
forwarded to the factory when it was
built in WHITEHEAD
The factory. of course, would have to b,
equipped with machinery. but ii is alleged
that it is situated in a first-class location
and that the new electric railroad built
between Winthrop and Augusta would
provide an easy means to gather up a
large quantity of milk daily and to de-
liver it at the factory door.
