I ^ I SUMMERLAXD CREAMERY CONTINUES SUCCESSFUL. Clemson College, Sept. 11.-?The Summerland Creamery at Batesburg j continues to go strong. During Julyf the creamery received almqst 12,000 pounds of cream, paying an average price 'for the month of 35 cents a m _ J* pound for butter fat. All ,of this was manufactured into butter, totalling 4000 pounds. So far this month, ! the plant has made over 1000 pounds I per week, reports D. G. Badger, Ex-j tension Dairy Husbandman, who has ; done much to aid farmers in the j Batesburg te/ritory to get started" in i , | N the production of cream for the \ creamery. The Creamery had on its books dur- ! ' I ing July, 122 patrons all of whom are! being paid weekly by check. "I have had an opportunity of talking with a great number of those pat- j I rons, and all of them- are more than j pleased with the treatment they are ! receiving.' One man told me that iff I he couTd be assured that he could al- j ways ship to a creamery that gave j him as good treatment and as good ! i service and were as fair and square as the Batesburg Creamery, he would go into the dairy business on a big scale." These remarks are indicative of the feeling of the farmers toward this creamery and of the enthusiasm shown by practically every . one of its patrons. The creamery is building up a name for its butter, which is being sold under the.r.arne of "Si5mmerland Creamery Butter." and can not begin to supr ply the demand for.the product.
