Nezv Chamber Of Commerce
Program to be Launched

! Il is the desire OF this department
to bring the poultry industry which
is already on a prosperous basis TO
where in time a local poultry pack
ing plant can be established and to
make shipping in large quantities
more profitable to the individual pro-
ducer.
Dairy Cattle.
This section OF Texas is renowned
for it's cattle breeding possibilities; !;
in fact the section OF Texas beneath
the cap rock is considered without
equal for this purpose. The Chamber
OF Commerce Is anxious that the
dairying interests be developed as
systematically and rapidly as possi-
BILE. The dairy division of the Cham
Der is anxious to obtain a careful
census OF every COW that is milked in
the county and TO raise the stand
dard OF milk production TO the point
Where everyone who can doso can sell
their cream at the highest market
prices. At present the butter market
is very poor but butter fat is bring
ing ~ cents per pound locally with
steady demand. One of the local
buyers and shippers Of cream advises
that his business is gradually grow
ing and that something in the neigh
borhood OF 5000 pounds OF cream
per month is now being sold. At this
time OF the year a separator is not
necessary for skimming but later on
II is advisable that one should be
used. The Chamber has made arrange
ments whereby one OF the very best
and simplest separators can be pur-
chased on the basis OF $500 cash
payment and the balance in monthly
installments for a year The total
cost OF this machine will not run
over $1,000. There are a number OF
splendid dairy cattle in the county at
present and IL is he desire that Dy
substituting good milk cows for those
that are small producers that in a
short period the dairying interest will
have developed into a big industry.
The Chamber asks that every owner
OF a milk COW or cows fill out the
coupon i'm another part OF this paper
and mail at once so that the dairy
division may commence at once to de-
wise plans for the dairy organization.
Arrangements are under way to furn-
ish the very best cows possible with
registered sires and We want the
hearty cooperation Of every milk COW
owner whether you are only milking
one COW for home use or are milking
number for commercial purposes.

The Scurry county Chamber OF
Commerce has created three
pecial departments; one for
the organization OF Pig Clubs, one
for Poultry Extension and one for
the development OF Dairying Inter-
ests. Each will be handled separately
and with a view OF definitely estab-
fishing these industries on a com
mercial basis In addition to what is
raised for home consumption. Dur
ng this time OF low priced cotton and
eed stuffs thousands OF dollars worth
OF these products have been market
ed and have in many instances been
the sole means OF support OF num-
berless families. Regardless of what
may be said 10 the contrary, hogs,
poultry and dairy cattle are going
to be the mainstay OF our agricul-
tural development and the sooner we
get at them in a systematic manner
the sooner will we profit in a large
way.
In answer to the question what
will we substitute for ..,u.
have the answer, plant more poultry
hogs and dairy cattle. Time is ripe
for the effort and II is the earnest
desire OF the Chamber to cooperate
in every manner possible TO get the
business on an organized basis.

Pig Clubs will be organized in the
several communities OF the county
and through the Chamber, boys and

tered sows with the understanding
that certain requirements be met and

ranged as not to burden them. The
