A Letter to the Butter Makers Of
Luna County
Deming, ~ NJ, Aug. 2G, 1920

Deming, ~ NJ, Aug. 26, 1920.
Dear Mrs Butter Maker:
Enclose you will find u bulletin ON
Making Butter on the Farm which
| trust will be of real service To you.
As we stated In II newspaper article
a few weeks ago, there are some who
are making exceptionally good butter
and II is always In good demand either
delivered directly tu customers or sold
through the stores.
ON the other hand, we have been in
formed that nearly all of the stores
have attempted to handle country but
ter at some time but had q give II up
with considerable regret and financial
loss because so much Of the country
butter was Of such inferior grade.
After the Cooperative Exchange
went into business il likewise made an
hOnest-to-goOdneSS attempt Ia find ii
market for country butter. hut 1t just
recently dumped 10 pounds of inferior
quality for which there was no sale.
This Is to be regretted. not because of
the financial loss sustained only, but
because under present conditions Of
butter making il Is helpless in assist
ing farmers to market this product.
The writer. in examining this butter as
ID came In for several weeks, found
that much of IL was Of inferior quail
ty: some was put up in packages that
were very unattractive; aud most of
Il was short weight Such conditions
can be overcome by the farmers only,
and unless they are overcome by the
farmers they cannot expect any insti-
tuition to handle their products.
The enclosed bulletin will give You
detailed instructions on making good
quality butter, and IL these instructions
are followed you will be able to create
a good demand for your product, ana
YOU should not ask anyone to buy or
handle your product unless IL is Of the
very best quality.
Our Investigations show that the
Deming people are keen for homemade
hutter Of good quality, hut Inferior
butter they will not buy at any price.
And YOU can count on the Deming peo-
pie to buy your products II the quality,
appearance. and weight is right
we hope to arrange for some butter
making demonstrations to take place
during the Fair. October IL, II, and 10.
These demonstrations together with
the enclosed bulletin ought 10 make eX-
pert butter makers Of us all.
Can we not all cooperate In putting
on large butter exhibit at the Fair
and thereby establish new reputation
for the entire county for high-gmde
country butter?
Yours very truly,
A. c. HEYMAN, County Agent.

The Graphic editor got up twice
Friday night 10 chase burrOs ont Of
his patch of Bermuda grass. Two
weeks ago foraging party Of mount
ain canaries' ate the tops from his
dahlias and cosmos and he is getting
pretty sore. Is there village poun4
master and If so why is he not on the

burrOs seem to prowl over the city
at will after nightfall
A Deming citizen who paid the water
company close 10 $50 for water during
August says that he has been raided
with great regularity by cows that are
In no wise deferred by the average
low fences Of the town. You cant
really blame folks for being a little
peeved when their efforts to beautify
the city go TO feed burros and other
predatory animals that like flowers
and grass for midnight lunches.
