CREAMERY SHIPPING STATION ESTABLISHEE Greenwood Creamery Co., Cooperati With Farmers Around Due West To Establish Dairy Market (W. C. iMcGowan.) Saturday afternoon the farmer around Due West met in the Direc tors room of The Farmers and Mer chants Bank at Due West with rep resentatives of the Greenwoot Creamery Company to consider th< establishing of a creamery sMppinf station through which the farmer; of the community might market theii cream. In a short talk by Mr. Allen of the creamery he stated that the average patron of the creamery who milks 4 cows nad sells his cream is aver aging about $30 or $35 a month in come from his cream check. After a thorough discussion of the proposi tion it was decided to accept the Greenwood Creamery Company offei and to establish the plant and an or ganization was started whose pur pose it is to encourage dairying and the keeping of dairy cattle as a means of fighting the boll weevil an<3 providing a good cash income throughout the year. The following committee was elect ed to direct the affairs of the asso< ciation : J. V. Pruitt, T. S. Ellis, W. A King, E. W. Hagen, A. B. Leonard J. R. iMcIlwaine. j The committee elected L. C. Gallo way, president, T. S. Ellis, vice president and O. Y. Brownlee secre tary and treasurer. The committee then requested thi County Agent to draw up a plan o organization and outline some differ ent work for the association. It wa brought out at the meeting that b; setting the milk in shallow crock in a cool place that the cream wouli rise and milk soon clabber at whicl time the cream could be easily skim med off. This cream is what th creamery desires, and it proposes t< pay the highest market price pe pound for butterfat. The cream can be saved from Sun day's milk and added to the Mor day's and Tuesday's milk for deliv ering Wednesday. Wednesday Thursday and Friday's milk can b delivered Saturday. The shipping station, will opei Wednesday afternoon, April 12, a Brownlee's store temporarily and b prepared to receive cream. A meet ing is called fdr Saturday afternooj to which the ladies are especially in | Vll/eu at W111UU wuic io ^wyvocu wi have some good talks about dairying County Agent's Note The creamery shipping station i one of the best and most economica ways to get started in dairy busi ness. And dairying is one of the mos profitable sidelines possible for a far mer in this section as a man wit! four or five cows can^ make frooi $30 to $40 per month provided h< grows his own feed. I believe dairying will be a verj important factor in agriculture ir this county from now on and I be lieve it will be possible to establish other cream shipping stations in th( county, especially in Abbeville. I will be glad to assist any of the farmers who have cream to sell in se> curing a branch of a nearby cream ery to locate here in Abbeville or anj promising community of Ah< county.

COTTON LETTER Cotton presents a confusing ap pearance when effort is made to analyze its immediate direction, though the staple in our opinion is headed eventually for much higher prices. World conditions are improv ing steadily for progress towards the rehabilitation of th^ Eastern hemis phere and the re-establishment of normal conditions in Latin America will continue to be made. But in the present situation it is difficult to say what will take place next. Traders are as uncertain, in the main, as the old lady who couldn't decide from which end of the car to alight? and was carried past her station. That wasn't caution?it was confusion; it would 'be better to stop a moment, study the situation, and then act. The strike of teoctile workers in T?? rt?l n ? /I if +A ll\fl AVQT*1nAl'Dr1 1M C? Uiigiaiiu 10 iiuu tu iv/w vrwiwvuvu as a factor in checking consumption. The strike has lasted seven weeks and many looms are idle. Mediation has failed. This, with the unwilling ness of cotton goods .buyers to enter the market except for current needs, is- slowing the rate at which the visible supply is being reduced. The Manchester situation. is spot ted. That is the best that can be said of it. The reports that come out of Liverpool are contradictory? not markedly so but sufficiently to indi , cate that mill owners in English spin ning centers are not sure enough of their ground to take any pronounced position. The attention that the % Genoa conference draws is less than it gave promise of when it projected, j. It is likely to prove only a historic f mile stone.

Fertilizer # sales appear to have increased and in ^ the eastern "b-elt the weather has ibeea j more favoible. West of the Mississip pi planting has been, it would seen!) k on a larger scale than had been ex pected but weather conditions in many parts of Texas have given rise to reports of a probable poor start for some of the crop. There already are reports of the appearance of 'boll weevil?suggesting that the pest has lost confidence in government esti mates and is making its own survey of the ground to determine what food supplies it can count .upon.

THERE ARE MANY > POSSIBLE TO D WONT YO Hie Rosed ference that existed between them two months ago. The curtailment of tr^ade outlets suggests that some of the cotton taken up in March?and to ibe taken up yet in May?will be retendered in July. Despite the many uncertainties of the immediate market we adhere to the bullish attitude as respects the long pull in cotton and believe that new crop positions may be purchased cautiously on all good reactions. There is ground for uncertainty as regards tomorrow or next week, but there is no valid reason for pessi-' mism with regard to autumn and winter trade conditions? and the cotton market should discount that improvement reasonably well in ad vance.
