Shall the Farmers
Build Cremeries

NhiePditu III tht DdlIy DlNiSlOn VI
The present depression in the cot
ton market has led the farmers to
consider the advisability of growing
other crops than cotton. This IA
good time to change from the one
crop system to the diversified agri-
culture and many are seeking infor
nation in regar dto the possibilities
of dairying. especially the establish
ment of creameries.
Prosperity has come to many ag-
ricultural sections because of the es-
tablishment and successful operation
of creameries. but. on the other. hand
many of the farmers have lost mon
ey by investing in creameries of an
expensive equipment in localities not
prepared to operate creamery sue
cessfully.
The main requirement for the sue
cess of the creamery is a sufficient
supply of milk or cream; an insufsic-
lent supply means loss to all concern
ed and failure of the creamery. Ex-
perience has proved that about six
hundred southern cows are necessary
to operate creamery successfully.
The number of available cows in
community is generally overestirat-
ed II whole milk is 10 be handled
it is not advisable to include in this
estimate herds at gralter distance
than five miles from the creamery.
II cream Is handled herds at dis
tance of ten miles from the creamery
can be incldled. A creamery must
make at least an average Of 1900
pounds of butter per week I'm order
to keep the operating expenses reas-
onably low. This will require about
/ thousand pounds Of butter fat
The smaller the output the greater
the cost per pound of manufactured
butter. for some of the expenses will

daily output is 100 or 200 pounds

There are many closed creamerles
in the United States. Some of these
were built by people who were net
well informed on conditions necess-
airy for the operation of a creamery.
In most cases there were not cows
enough to supply the milk; in ,ther
cases the failure was due to the in-
experience in operating the creamery
and marketing the creamery product.
Some of the creameries were organ
ized by promoters whose only inter
est was to sell the machinery and
equipment at high commission. Ia
these companies the stockholder gen

ne buTebu Ol animal lhuuStIyJ
? ointment men o the community to
Subscribe stock In the creams-y or
rhnization afte which II is m easy
matter to persuade others to sub
scribe. Instances have been known
where the agents induced the farm
ers to sign what they thought merely
statement favoring the erection OF
the creamery in the community IL II
could be organized and operated on
successful basis, but afterwards
the farmers discovered that they had
signed their names to carefully word
ed promissory notes. The paper
they signed. when, unfolded. reveai-
ed an ironclad contract for stock in
the company. Thus the farmer. un-
aware of the real nature of the pa
per, thinks that he Is only express
ing his interest in the movement,
but actually binds himself to pur-
chase stock in the creamery.
Promoted creameries are seldom
well organized; usually the building
is cheaply constructed, poorly equip.
ped, and cost from so to 100 per
cent more than they should cost.
Such creameries in the south usual
ly fail in a short time.
If the community presents eondi-
tions that will make the successful
operation of the creamery possible.
and IL the farmers, after knowing
the facts, prefer to have the cream
cry built at high cost by the pro-
moters, at a higher price than they
can build it themselves. there Is 10
objection to this method, provided.
the creamery is properly built and
equipped. The greatest injury done
by the promoters is that they often
sell creamerles to the farmers in
community where 1t is impossible 'or
a creamery to exist. and creamery
which has failed serves to discour-
age dairying in that and nearby
communities for many years after a
failure occurs.
There are some places in the south
where creameries should be built.
because they would furnish a steady,
cash income for the farmers who
supply the milk and cream; but the
people without experience should
not rush into the creamery business
until they have become thoroughly
informed on the requirements of tho
successful operation of a creamery.
AS previously stated. the cream
from about six hundred cows Is nee
essary to keep creamery running &C
onomically; therefore in a creamery
agitation the first thing to be done
is to make a thorough canvass of
the territory from which it is prac-
ticable to obtain cream, in order to
ascertain the number of cows actual
ly present over and above those re-
quired for milk production for the
home use.
This information will furnish the
basis for definite plans. After as
certaining the number of cows which
could furnish cream to the proposed
creamery, upon requests this infor-
nation should be sent to your state
agricultural college of to the Dairy
Division Of the Bureau OF Animal
Industry, Department of Agriculture,
Washington, d. c., either of which
will supply instructions and plans
for the organization. building aad
equipping OF a creamery suitable 10
the conditions. provided such plant
is likely to succeed in that locality.

The ice plant is made OF galvan-

should be slightly wider than the
bottom. The inner tank should be
divided into six compartments made
OF galvanized iron strips.
This double tank should be plac-

the compartments can be easily fill
ed with water. Being exposed or Ill

water poured into the space between
the two tanks will loosen the cakes
so they can be removed. One freez-

ly in the occupied spaces. Whereas in country or city air there are rare ly more than ten of this group of mi cro-organisms per hundred cubic feet of air, the number may rise to more than forty in factories. There is a rapidly growing tendency, supported by much convincing evidence, to teach that ventilation has nothing whatever to do with either the transmission of the so-called "air-borne" diseases or the lessening of their transmission. Furthermore, says The Journal of the American Medical Association, the the opinion is freely expressed that transmission by way of the air is of infinitely less importance than trans mission by inanimate and animate car riers that have been in intimate con- tact with patients. Nevertheless, the indisputable facts just cited regarding the comparative distribution of certain objectionable bacteria in occupied spaces still deserve respectful consid- eration in relation to the problems of public health.

WANTED TO ENFORCE SON
 TO ENLIST IN MARINES

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 10.-Is there a law in this land of the free that will permit worn-out father to force his minor son into the United States Marine Corps against that sons will?
 Otis Tinsdale, of Packwaukee, says there is, and Sergeant Ansell M. Stowe, in charge of the local United States Marine Corps recruiting sta tion is equally positive that there is nothing on the statute books cover |nig a case of that sort.
 Tinsdale literally dragged his nine teen-year old son to the Milwaukee recruiting station and demanded that the boy be enlisted. But the young Tinsdale tearfully protested at what he seemed to think was ''high-hand- ed outrage" and in Sergeant Stowe he found sympathetic friend.
 'I can't enlist the boy unless he is willing to join," Stowe told the father.
 What's the boy got to do with it anyway? I'm his father and if I say he's got to enlist you've got to take him and that's all there is to it. He's a worthless hound on the farm and I want to take him and make a man of him." the elder Tinsdale hotly replied.
 But Sergeant Stowe refused to en- list the boy, and Otis Tinsdale left the recruiting office, vowing to re- turn when he had consulted his at torney.

A. A. (GUS.) WOODUL
 FOR TAX ASSESSOR

Among the new announcements to be- found in today's News is that of MT. A. A. (Gus.) Woodul, of Albany township, for Tax Assessor of Nevada county.
 MT. Woodul is one of the best known young men in the county, having been born and raised in the vicinity where he now resides. He was identified with business interests in Prescott two years ago and here as well as other sections of the county, has numerous staunch friends.
 He has taught number of success ful schools in and around his home and has always held a first grade cer- tificate. We state this as a recon. mendation not only of MT. Woodul's ability, but as to his individuality. No community is going to employ one to teach their schools unless they have the high respect of the patrons.
 This is the first office Mir. Woodul has ever asked for and considering his ability and life long loyalty to the rule and principles of the party we ask you to give his candidacy your serious thought before making a se- lection.
