Clemson Creamery
Reaches 800 Mark

Reports for December show
that the cooperative creamery
at Clemson College is continu-
ing to grow both in it's output
and in popularity with the farm
ers who liye near enough to
warrant them in shipping cream
to the college. During Deem
Der, Notwithstanding the fact
that the use of cream in the
farm home is generally very
large during the holiday season,
the receipts of butterfat at the
college creamery reached the
800 pound mark, and checks
sent out to farmers in payment
amounted to between five hun
dred and six hundred dollars.
During December shipments
of cream were received from
farmers living in Greenville,
Anderson, Pickens, Spartan
burg, Laurens counties. The
receipts of 1,5OO pounds of but
terfat for the month may be
compared with l,300 pounds for
| November and $50 pounds for
October. Some new routes are
/ now being planned, three dairy
experts are giving their time to
the work in the field, and indi-
cations are that dairying is 60
ing to become a very important
sideline on manv farms in the
state becaussee-6off -6f -tl1s7-r5esady the ready mar

Operative creamery at Clemson.
The plan on which the cream
cry is operated is the same as
that Of the cooperative cream
cries of the North and West, ex-
cept that, because of the equip
ment already possessed by Glenn
iSOn College, no original invest
ment is required OF creamery
patrons for buildings, machin-
cry, etc. For a farmer to begin
shipping his cream to the college
it is only necessary for him to
invest in the COWS and a cream
separator.
One of the things about the
creamery that appeal so strongly
to farmers is that the returns
are made once a month and a
few COWS can in this way be
maae to afford a regular and
conEinous cash income through
