MILK coNDENsARY SHOWS A BIG
PROFIT.
Receipts Jump From 1918 to 1882
Pounds-New Building Necessary
Farmers Receive $4,000
In Six Months.

Mulvane, Kan, May 11.-Four years
ago the Helvetia Milk Condenstng
Company opened its ccndensary here,
receiving 1913 pounds Of milk. To
day the receipts were 1889 pounds,
CT milk enough to fill a vat eight
fete square and Is feet in depth. This
was the highest mark yet reached,
though each day now sets a new rec
ord.
So rapid has been the development
Of the dairy field around Mulvans
that the plant has already reached its
present capacity, and the architect is
now drawing the plans that will cou-
bic the size Of the equipment for
receiving and caring for milk, and
there is little doubt that the next
four years will see as great a gain
as has the past four.
Some idea Ct the value to the com
munity can be had when the finan
cial side is given. More than $15O,OOt
has been paid out for milk here IN
the past six months, and 1t Is expect
ed that the receipts for 1914 will av
erage $1,000 for each Of its 365 days
This has been done in years o
poor crops and under discouraging Ct
cumstances. Just watch the milk It'd
rise when good crops come.
