LARGER CHEESE PLANT
improvements at Meridian Cooper
alive Factory VIII Increase Cap
acity Over 30 per Cent.

Work commenced this week on an
addition and improvements to the
Meridian cheese factory of the Boise
COOPERATIVE Creamery Co. that will
increase the manufacturing capacity
of the plant over so per cent.
The addition to the present build
ing will house the boiler, and in the
quarters now occupied as boiler
room a new vat OF 700 gallon capac-
ity will be installed. The local fac
tory already has two 600-gallon yats,
but the growth of the dairy and
cheese industry in this. vicinity has
for some time demanded increased
facilities at the local plant. The inn
proyements will probably be COM
pleted within the next 80 days.
The capacity of the cooperative
company's factory at Eagle will also
be enlarged at this time by the in
stallation of another 700-gallon vat,
and vats of the same size have been
ordered for the new factories at
McDermott and Bowmont. Fred Neus-
baum will have charge Of the McDer-
mott factory.
