SHALL SOUTHERN FARMERS
BUILD REAMER|ES /?
Prepared by U. S. apartment of
Agricult,

This is good time to change from
the one-crop system to diversified agri.
culture, and many are seeking informa.
ton in regard to the possibilities Of
dairying, especially the establishment
of creameries. Prosperity has come to
many agricultural communities by the
successful operation of creameries, but,
on the other hand, many farmers have
lost money by investing in creameries
of expensive equipment in localities not
prepared to operate creamery sue
cessfully.
CONDITIONS ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS.
The main requirement for the success
of the creamery is sufficient supply Of
milk or cream; an insufficient supply
means failure of the creamery and a
loss to all concerned. Experience has
proved that about 600 Southern COWS
are necessary to furnish cream enough
to operate creamery economically.
The number of available COWS in a
community is generally overestimated.
If whole milk is to be handled it is not
advisable to include in this estimate
herds at greater distance than five
miles from the creamery. If cream is
handled, herds ten miles from the
creamery can be included. A cream
cry must make at least an average of
1900 pounds of butter a week in order
to keep the expenses reasonably low.
This will require about 1000 pounds Of
butter fat The smaller the output the
greater the cost per pound of manufac-
tured butter, for some of the expenses
will remain about the same whether
the daily output is 100 or 200 pounds.
CAUSES OF FAILURE.
There are many closed creameries in
the United States. Some of these were
built where the people were not well in
formed on conditions necessary for the
operation of creamery. In most cases
there we're not COWS enough to supply
milk; in others failure was due to mex
perience in making and marketing
creamery products. Some of these
creameries were organized by promot-
ers whose whole interest was to sell the
machinery and equipment at a high
commission. The stockholders in these
generally found that they

had paid great deal more for the plant

BEWARE OF THE PROMOTER.

BEWARE OF THE PROMOTER.
Southern farmers should have knowl-
edge of the methods practiced by the
creamery promoter, who is invariably
a ready talker and in the most glowing
colors shows the advantages of a cream
cry. He never presents the difficulties
to be overcome, but shows only the
bright side of the creamery business.
Promoters make canvass of the COM
munity, preaching the advantages of
cooperative creameries. They may
circulate literature in which large divi-
dends from other creameries are shown
and tell the farmer in fluent language
what great returns can be derived from
similar establishments in their COM
munity. The method which they usu-
ally practice is by misleading state
ments to get few of the prominent
men in community to subscribe to
stock in creamery organization, after
which it is an easy matter to persuade
others to subscribe. Instances have
been known in which the promoter has
induced farmers to sign what they
thought was merely a statement favor
ing the erection of a creamery in the
community if it could be organized and
successfully operated, but afterwards the
farmers discovered that they had signed
carefully worded promissory notes. The
paper they signed, when unfolded, re-
vealed an ironclad contract for stock in
the company. Thus the farmer, I'M
aware of the nature of the paper, thinks
that he is only expressing his interest
in the movement, but actually binds
himself to purchase stock in the cream
cry.
Promoted creameries are seldom well
usually the buildings are
cheaply constructed, improperly equip
ped, and cost from 80 to 100 per cent
more than they should. Such cream
cries in the South generally fail in a
short time.
If a community presents conditions
that will make the successful operation
of a creamery possible, and if the farm
ers after knowing the facts prefer to
have the creamery built by promoters
at higher price than they can build
it themselves, there can be no objec-
ton to this method, provided the cream
cry is properly built and equipped, The
greatest injury done by the promoters
is that they often sell creameres to
farmers in communities where condi-
lions are such that it is impossible for
4 creamery to succeed, and creamery
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1915-02-19

which has failed serves to discourage
dairying in that and nearby communi-
ties for many years after the failure
occurs.
HOW TO PROCEED.
There are some places in the South
where creameries should be built, be-
cause they would furnish steady cash
income to the farmers who supply the
milk or cream; but people without ex-
perience should not rush into the cream
cry business until they have become
thoroughly informed on the require
ments for the successful operation of a
creamery.
AS previously stated, the cream from
about 600 cows is necessary to keep a
creamery runnin economically; there
fore, in a creamery agitation the first
thing to be done is to make thorough
canvass of the territory from which it
is practlcable to OBTAIN cream, 10 oruer
to ascertain the number of COWS actual
ly present over and above those required
for the production of milk for home
use. This information will furnish the
basis for definite plans. After ascer-
tanning the number of COWS which
would furnish cream to the proposed
creamery, upon request, this informa-
ton should be sent to your State Agri-
cultural College or to the Dairy Division,
Bureau of Animal Industry, Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D.
c., either of which will supply instruc-
tions and, plans for the organization,
building and equipping of creamery
suited to conditions, provided such a
plant is likely to succeed in that locality

find some day. A good rural school of
such boys and girls is blessing to any
community, and soon we are going to
have such schools. When? When you
wake up to the fact you want them.
Another trouble that is a great big
barrier to the rural school is something
that seems little to you, but counts too.
1t is no seldom thing to receive notes
from a parent, stating: Let Mary
come home at dinner; I need her. !"
Cheerfully we respond to this bidding,
but finding out to our disappointment
that Mary only wanted to get a new
dress and she must help to select the
dress. Or, again, father pens few
hasty lines: Excuse Johnnie at re-
cess" when,to find out Johnnie wanted
to go to town to make small purchase
that could have been done Saturday be-
fore or the Saturday following.
Now, dear parents, who is to blame?
Is this a help or hindrance to your
school? 1t is great big pull only to
tear down what your teacher, your
county superintendent and some other
parents are striving so hard to build up.
While this seems small thing to you
it is like a disease which will soon
spread until some other Johnny and
Mary must 60 home and gradually,
step by step, school interest begins to
decline, progress is checked, the school
is dying and no one knows why. Finally
the crisis is reached and your school is
totally disabled, to remain so until some
one revives it, if it can be done at all.
In such a case some one is ever ready
to condemn the teacher, who is charged
with entire responsibility for the down
fall of the school but who should bear
probably very small proportion of it.
Still the crash is on the teachers
shoulders.
1t seems but little thing to help our
schools and so strange that one is con-
tinually throwing small stones to clog
their progress. If only every parent
would stop to think and ask themselves
what they might do to help men and
in the great field of educational
work, am sure, if it was only kind
thought, some one would pass it along
md we could at least accomplish some
hing.
Parents, one good thing and the rich
,st of all you can give your children is
IN education. Give your child an edu-
,aton and he will have something that

have no ambition and do not progress.
Such children need the rich medicinal
nourishment in Scott's Emulsion above
everything else; its pure cod liver oil con-
tains natures own forming, flesh

cheeks, better appetite, firm flesh and
sturdy frames.
If your children are 1anguid, tired

their studies difficult, give them SCOTS

Best

Whtcombe Riley day" in all the
schools in the United States For this
reason Prof. Dick Posey, better
known as r. p. Campbell, was re-
quested to recite some of Riley's
poetry for the high school, This he
did with no small success. He first
told in a few words about James
Whitcombe Riley and the people he
liked to portray. He said that he
liked to write about the old farmer
and the little child better than any
one else. AS an example of the first
kind of poetry he recited when the
Frost is On the Pumpkin and the
Corn is in the Shock" His voice and
manner were those of the old farmer
who is wholly satisfied and very
thankful for everything. He then re-
cited "The Goblin Will Git You If
You Don't Watch Out" and immedi-
ately he was little child "skeered
to death" at his aunt's stories.
A few of the upper-cassmen in
dulged in taffy pull at the home of
nellie and Lucille Snyder last Friday
night. The taffy was of the nice,
sticky, sweet kind which every one
likes so well. They pulled and ate It
for a while and then gradually an
epidemic Of putting taffy down every
body's neck and in everybody's hair
broke out and general mixup en-
sued. In the midst of all this some
one discovered that Ford belonging
to one of the merrymakers had brok-
en- loose from its moorings and was
nowhere to be seen. Everyone
thought for time that here was the
same old story of the dog which was
left tied to Ford and promptly ran
off with it. However, the Ford was
soon located on a nearby street.
Probably some child had started to
carry it home, thinking it one Of his
toys. After the playing of some
games and the consumption of much
more taffy the young folks broke up
