South Maryland Plunges
Into Dairying and Likes 1t

Under the above caption, a La Plata
correspondent TO the Baltimore Sun
writes as follows /;
Southern Maryland has gone into
the dairy business, and likes ii.
This is a statement of considerable
import, for Of all the many things and
OF all the many reasons which entitle
Southern Maryland to fame, past and
present, the dairy business is not
among them. 1t Is the possibility,
now little more than an embryonic
hope, that Southern Maryland will
some day be pointing with pride to its
sleek dairy herds and It's fat cream
checks, that lends Importance to the
fact that dairying is on its way in a
section OF the state where for genera
tions tobacco has been king OF agri-
culture.
The incentive for the new industry
is radiating from Waldorf, in Charles
county, where the Southern Maryland
Cooperative Creamery is located.
From a transportation standpoint the
creamery occupies strategic position.
Into Waldorf from the north comes the
State highway from Washington, ira
versing the southeastern part OF Prince
Georges county and the northern Sec
ton OF Charles. Out OF Waldorf, In
forks that branch to the right and to
the left, are State highways that have
their terminals in the southernmost
tips OF Charles and st. Maryis coun.
ties. Furthermore, as a station on the
Pope's Creek branch OF the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad and as headquarters for
the Underwater bus lines that ply out OF
Washington, Waldorf can command
additional north and south bound
traffic. IL is in reality a transporta-
tiOn hub for the whole of Southern
Maryland.
by one route or another cream can
find It's way to Waldorf from almost
any part OF Southern Maryland. AL
ready IL has. IL has arrived by truck,
by train, by wagon and even By parcel
post, and in such volume that the
creamery, which opened its doors lit
tie more than two months ago, has
outgrown its first butter churn. A new
and larger churn has been ordered, a
pasteurlzer with capacity OF 800 gall
Ions has been purchased and other
preparations have been made to care
for an increasing volume of business.
ION April 80, the Southern Maryland
Cooperative Creamery received its first
consignments OF cream, consisting Of
1854 pounds, and the following day
ehurned them into $50 pounds OF first
class butter.
The creamery, which began the
month of May 1928, with nine patrons
and total output of 1850 pounds OF
butter, closed the month with IS ship
pers on its books and record of more
than 5000 pounds of butter made
Better still, it had credited on its
books approximately 900 pounds of
butter, which represented the profit
earned by the creamery.
Since then progress at the same
rate of growth has been maintained
and the patrons now number some
thing like ITO. and the output of butter,
even with the original small churn in
operation, is averaging between twelve
and fourteen hundred pounds per
week. -

Success in other fields of manu-

to considerable speculation as TO the

The engineers are constructing In
the Aviation building in Detroit, the
first unit Of a mill to make cloth for
the backing of artificial leather for

The problem, says Mr.. Moller, has
been TO make the process as nearly
continuous and automatic as posi-
Bile. with a view to conservation OF
labor and reduction in cost OF manu-
facture. While much remains to be
done before final methods and ma
chinery are decided upon. he says,
everything now points to process
which will include automatic feeding
from one machine to the next in the
progress OF the cotton from bale
breakers to cards and thence to draw
ing frames and slubbers. together
with the elimination of picking and
the use Of automatic looms for weav-
ing and automatic conveyors through
out the plant
In n letter to the magazine accom-
panying the article, Mr.. Moller says
that tho new mill as laid out today
is so radically unlike any other that
any manufacturer. with the exception
of Mr.. Ford, doubtless would hesi-
