Buttermakers and creamerymen from
various parts of the State met here
today, under the auspices of the Dairy
and Food Division. The visitors were
welcomed by DR.. William Il. Atwood,
of "Stonehenge,' this county, TO
which response was made by Mr..
Benja min l.. Purcell. State Dairy and
Food Commissioner.
Mr.. A. +. Howard, of the Dairy anu
Food Division. spoke briefly on some
problems OF the creamerymen. A
brighter day Is dawning for the
creameries Of Virginia, he said. All
we reed to do Is to get plenty Of
product, make a good article, take
care in selling and our success Is as
sured.
The cheese industry In Virginia was
discussed in n splendid paper by w
D. Saunders, professor of dairy hus-
bandry at Virginia Polytechnic In
sttute, Blaeksburg. The manufac-
ture of cheese at points more or less
remote from the railroads is much the
more attractive proposition, said the
speaker. both from the standpoint of
marketing the product, which Is n
very great consideration, but also
from, the standpoint of cash received
for the milk per gallon. The develo y
ment of dairying at such points as
have been indicated means very
iruch greater development of the in
dustrv than IL this development were
confined to points near the railroads
Fer this reason we hope TO be able 10
interest farmers in the State in
cheese making and. as a result. great
IL increase the dairy industry in the
state. When any large development
may come about in such sections of
the State he dairymen will have not
only cheese to sell II their product
IS made into cheese, but also cows aua
calves The bull calves can be sold
to stockmen wanting cattle to Craze
for beef
