WILL REDUCE EXPENSES

StSpecial to The Richmond yirginian.)
WADESBORo. N. c.. March "a
Leading citizens In and around Wades-
boro are agitating the idea Of ; Coz
operative creamery to be built In that
town. This Is an enterprise. the need
Of which Is felt in a great many Sec
tons Of the State and the South in
general.
The proposition will provide an UNI
limited market for butter and cream
ut much higher price than other
wise. and will reduce the labor In but
termaking at least so per cent With
the milk routes from the country into
the creamery the farmers, whether a
mile or eight miles from town. as all
pay the same price for getting the
product into the factory, are put In
a position to handle more cows on
the farms. thereby getting more
manure on the land and eliminating
the use of such large quantities or
commercial fertilizers. Under the
present system Arson county alone is
spending over 100000 for CONNER
ciai fertilizers yearly.
With n creamery in Wadesboro II
would be only q short time before the
farmers around the town would be
milking enough COWS to earn Atty 10
eighty thousand dollars per year
Wadssporo mas an opportunity of
getting creamery here now and
have the entire proposition guaranteed
by q well known Chicago firm. whose
agents are In the field. This firm has
already established two other cream
cries In the State. one of which Is in
operation. IL L. now paying its
patrons 80 cents per pound for butter
fat. and producing one thousand
pounds of butter per week. thereby
paying out over $4o0 per week to the
farmers.

scheme. The members are all boys

der the supervision OF United States

the corn club.
BY making every boy a better farm
ar than his father, the supporters
hope to make the yield of me farms

their fathers

Mr.. ShuII and the
Valley Bridges
Editor Islander.

Editor Islander:
The beginning of that bridge af-
fair that has aroused Mr. .Shull from
his lethargy is as follows:
i At the April meeting Of the com
nissioners. Mr.. johnson and | went
before the Board and asked that the
bridges be made safe for the passage
of our threshing machine. The
Board agreed that the bridges need
ed repairing and promised to do the
work before the threshing season,
leaving the matter to Mr.. ShulPs
supervision.
1t seemed for the time, as if our
efforts were to be rewarded, as Mr..
Shull asked me to ride out over the
roads for the purpose of ascertain
ing what repairs were necessary. He
did take team but as he had taken
man with him to look over the
work on the West road over which
he was having some trouble, | did
not think my standing in behind
made any monetary difference as
he wanted to make the trip anyway.
However | promised to give week S
work with my team after haying,
and Mr.. Shu1l was to ring me up
when he was ready. After that
Sundays ride Mr.. Shull unfortun-
ately forgot about the bridges until
the threshing season was here and
probably he would still be forgetting
had not gone to him and asked him
what he was going to do. He adj
mitted that he had forgotten about
it and asked about the work prom
ised to donate. / refused to give
any work at all at such a.late date.
We had some pretty hot words and
we rushed into print" before he
had started to repair a bridge, and
one can imagine how much work
was put on them when the. bridges
were repaired before the journal
was printed. We did nos vilify rim
in the, article. / do not think any
fair minded person would see any
thing but true statement.
Speaking about a five year Motif
cation being necessary, why, if all
persons were as slow as Mr.. Shull,
twenty year notice would be too
short.
In conclusion must say that the
bridges are not yet sufficiently strong
to be safe and l have refused thresh-
ings on account of them. 1t seems
too bad that such work cannot be
done, for it would be good return
for the peoples money.
