Senator Johnstone, president OF the
board of trustees Of Clemson college,
spoke of the creamery at Clemson and
OF his recent trip with the South
Carolina commission to Alabama.
Louisiana, Mississippi and other
Yeevil infested districts, and urged
ureparation for the coming Of the
weeyil in this section which he thought
would be within year. Mr. john
stone declared that there is no fea-
ture of competition Or rivalry In the
creamery business. He said the hrsl
payroll made up Of farmers contrl-
buting cream to the Clemson creamery
was 500; now the creamery is send
ing checks aggregating $1,000 every
month to farmers for cream. Tne
butter made at the creamery Droughe
a good price, because it is made the
best way, and every farmer contrl-
buting cream gets the same price.
There is no competition or rivalry
among them, but cooperation" Mr.
Johnstone said that the scientinc
marketing developed in the establish
ment of a creamery has been extend-
ed to other farm products. such as
eggs and pounltry.
In the course Of his talk Mr.. john
stone told of Several incidents IN his
triD to the West. The commission,
he said. visited the small farms and
the large ones, and got all the lnfor-
nation they could regarding the Doll
yeevil. At Mound, Mississippi, they
found a large planter who gave them
his experience. He said the COM
ing of the weevil found him in con-
dition of un5elief; he did not believe
so insignificant a thing as this nttie
insect could keep him from ma6ln2
cotton; he had made lots OF cotton
and got rich at it. He had $6Oo'Ooo,
and lost $5OOOO0 of it by the Doll
weevil. Then he began to diversity;
to consult experts aud follow the
teachings Of agricultural colleges;
planted large fields Of potatoes ana
other things; established a cannery
and a creamery-diversifie tn1s
wear. he says, he will come out eVen'
and next year expects to make money
more perhaps than he ever maoe
with cotton.
Mr.. Johnstone was very earnest IN
urging diversifcation and in express
ing the fact that the boil weeVll Is
coming. and coming soon. He pleog-
Cd himself to do whatever he was aole
to do to establish and help cream
ery in Newberry county.
