Asked as to his opinion of the
opportunities here for the small
farmer as compared with those
in Illinois, Mr.. Ivemeyer said:
"If you want me to- speak the
truth as | see it. l will tell you
that they are No. l for any man
who is willing to work and wants
to build himself up. Any man
who wants to work and practice
economy can not only make a
good living for himself and fam
lily here, but good money farm

South surely is the place for the
poor man, who will work and
farm intelligently, and who will
plan his crops carefully and not

1t is generally said of D. ].
Seigler. who came to his pres
ent farm, five miles from Fitz-
gerald, six years ago and from
South Carolina to Telfair Coun-
ty in 1900, that whenever he

"but there is no doubt about it,

milks four grade Jersey cows,

diversihcationist, and raises all

On November ID, 1928, the
Fitzgerald Creamery was OPEN
ed. with scarcely more than 50
original customers, This insti-
tuition, of which J. A. Dorminy
is manager, now has more than
200 regular patrons-of Ben Hill
and surrounding counties-each
supplying weekly from one to
six cans of cream. According to
Mr. Dorminy there are a few
farmers who have patronized
the creamery who are not now
shipping cream, on account of
their cows having gone dry
temporarily, "but", he said, it
is true that not one farmer who
ever started milking cows and
shipping cream, so far as this
creamery's records show, has
made>a failure of it and quit be-
cause it did not pay. In fact, not
one has quit, except for the time
being while his cows were dry"
The average can of cream, &C
cordfng to the creamery records
brings the producer $3.50 in the
summertime and around $3.50 in
the winter.
