COLLEGE SELLS
CREAMERY PRODUCTS

Following the example OF the
large schools i'll the east, the college,
through the College Cree merry, is sell
ing milk and milk products directly
TO the sororities and fraternities in
tie town. There has always been an
urgent need of wholesale milk deliY-
cry here in Pullman and the cream
cry is trying TO fill this need. The
various groups have given the best
o. cooperation and undoubtedly the
system will be as successful here as
IT, has been elsewhere. Due to the
present. crowded conditions in Pull
man the shortage of milk is acute
ard it will be necessary to ship in
large amounts now and probably all
winter. One of the biggest advan-
tages of college milk supply is the
fact that the school is in a position
to supply quality milk of low bac-
tcrial count, which is very hard to
set in community where there is
Sc little dairying done. The fact
that this is not dairy farming sec
ton has always been a handicap to
the College Creamery but gradu-
ally the ranchers here are realizing
the need of more cows and that
there are no substitutes for dairy
products. To the present time the
College Creamery has been handi-
capped in the marketing end also,
but due to the continued hard work
of the department and Dean John
son, it now does business On a real
business basis and is allowed to COM
pete to some extent with private OPP
erations. o. A. C. butter is held al
a premium all over Oregon, why not
advertise our own school something
in the same way?
