The Moultrie Creamery
Increases Its Capacity
Is Now Shipping Condensed Milk to
Many Cities of the South

MOULTRIE, Ga.-The Moultrie
creamery, which is rapidly becoming
one of the city's largest leading indus
trial plants, is shipping condensed milk
daily to many OF the important cities
of the south 1t is the only creamery
in Georgia with a milk condensing
plant 1t, with many other improve
ments. involving an expense of more
than $4,000, was added to the cream
cry a few weeks ago
The plant is now buying milk from
plants as far south as Tallahassee.
Shipments are received daily also from
dairymen in nearly all the surrounding
counties. Most OF the milk condensed,
however, is sold by Colquitt county
farmers and the dairy industry in this
county is showing a rapid growth.
The creamery here has had rather
a checekered career. 1t was built i'll
the summer of 1914 as cooperative
institution and got off to a fine start
during the trying days when cotton
was around 7 and cents a pound, but
when the war shot the staple up farm
er after farmer sold his dairy herd
and soon no milk could be had. This
put the creamery on the rocks.

case OF hentuCKlan OnCe OcCldISu
Legally Dead Again Before Court.
FRANKFORT, Ky.-Few instanc-
es, if any, have ever come to the at
tention of the court OF appeals in which
such a total disregard OF money is eX-
hibited as in the case OF Jaffa Weare,
who, knowing that he had inherited
I$403469, with interest from 1909, has
made no claim for his estate.
Weare was one Of the seven heirs to
the estate of Jared Weare, his brother,
who died in Fleming county in 1909.
The other heirs are Jerome, Jacob,
Jahaza, JaIin, Jacova and Jaza. The
Iodd case disclosed that Jaffa Weare
left his home in Fleming county in
1882 He was legally declared dead but
was located in the spring OF 1911, at
Malvern, Ark He promised to come
to Flemingsburg to get the money, but
nothing has been heard of him. In the
meantime his sister, Jacova Weare, has
died, leaving him $2,459.24 additional.
The case came to the court of appeals
today to determine what shall be done
with the money inasmuch as some of
the heirs claim that he is still living
and that the state cannot be divided
until he is legally declared dead again.

Curing Houses Save
The South S Yam Crop
Banks Consider 1t a Safe Policy to
Loan Up to 90 Per Cent of Value.

| ATLANTA, Ga.-The federal re-
serve bank of Atlanta, which covers
the sixth district, has indicated that it
would consider it a safe policy for its
member banks to loan up to the extent
| of % per cent OF the market value OF
sweet potatoes stored in houses con-
structed and operated in accordance
with approved plans, as many of such
houses are now established. 1t is stated
here that when bankers generally I'M
derstand this proposition they will
gladly make advances to farmers who
properly harvest, grade and store their
sweet potatoes, though most OF the
curing houses are paying good prices
lin buying the product outright.
The conservation of the crop by the
use of storage houses has been advo
Gated strongly by the county agents
and other farm extension workers
throughout the south for the last six
years. AS a result, it is stated, there is
from 100000 to 100000 bushels.
In Georgia alone, the combined ca
pacity of the storage houses, according
to experts, will exceed two million
bushels. A good deal of money was
spent building curing houses last year
at the very peak of high prices of con
struction. One company built six cur
ing houses of large capacity in the vi
entity of Montezuma. 1t is stated here
that experienced horticulturistS, at inn
portant points, are giving farmers free
of charge the benefit of their technical
knowledge in growing and caring for
sweet potatoes.
The production of sweet potatoes in
the south has increased steadily from
100000 bushels in 1920 On account
of unfavorable weather the crop out
look is not as good as the present time
as it was some months ago. The fore
cast of the present month was 1O6,
100000 bushels.
