BUTTER PRODUCTS
Which Are Being Standardized by
Home Demonstration Women

Which Are Being Standardized by
Home Demonstration Women
One of the most significant pieces
Of marketing work being done in
South Carolina is the large sale Of A.
H butter which product is being sold
through the South Carolina Home
Producers Association. Most of this
butter is being handled by the Pal
ace Market, Taylor Street, Columbia.
1t is shipped in from the different
counties and inspected before it is
put on the market. 1t is made by the
home demonstration club women who
have taken dairy work under the
supervision of the home demonstra-
ton dairy specialist.
In the beginning only very
small shipments were made. These
shipments rapidly became larger as
the demand became greater until last
week, when the shipment totalled 1873
pounds. One customer said that
since she had been buying All but
ter she could not keep any in the
house. She laughed and remarked,
lit is too good to keep"
The home demonstration depart
ment is trying to develop every pos
sible home enterprise which will fur
nish paying products to market. In
commenting on this feature Of our
work, Mr.. O. B. Martin of the Wash
ington Department recently said:
eve are just beginning to develop
the resources Of the farms and farm.
lsteads. When the agents, the colleges
and the department focus their at
tention on standardizing the prod.
ucts which may be sold in winter as
we'll as in summer, the club markets
Of the state viii be busy throughout
the year. I am confident that there is
much yet to do in standardizing and
packing vegetables, fruits, meats and
many other things which our people
buy on the markets within the state"
