JOSEPHINE COUNTY HAS

Josephine county already boasts
some excellent creameries and all the
indications point to the strong proba'
bility of there being many more es-
tablished as the demand increases.
Those already in operation are turning
out an excellent product. The Ap'
plegate Creamery, for instance, is
planning to increase its capacity. IL
was already up to 700 TO 1000 cows
and now it is putting on wagon to
bring in the cream, making trip
up one side of the Applegate river to
Uniontown and then back on the
other side of the river trip OF IA
miles. It's managers hope to get
enough farmers interested to enable
it to place another wagon even in the
Missouri Flat country, and still an
other in the Murphy region. Last
year an additional wagon WAS run in
the Williams Greek vicinity and will
likely be taken up again.
There are two other creameries in
Josephine county. one being located
on the upper Williams and the other
on Sucker Greek and they are both
doing we'll.
Although other products have been
lowered quite materially in price, on
account of the hard times, yet the
creamery people have discovered that
this has not been the case with but

ize good prices of their product
