CREAMERY IN I WILL BE The Editor, The Times, Manning, S. C. Dear Sir: It has recently been my pleasure to to note through columns favorable mention of the establishment by the writer of a Creamery here in Flor ence. The plant is now under con struction and will be ready for op eration before Christmas. It will pe known as the Colonial Creamery Com pany, whose intention it is to manu facture butter from separated cream shipped in by the farmers and also for the purpose of buying, milk-feed ing and dressing poultry and the handling of eggs, all to be purchased from the same source. Alay I take this opportunity of ex pressing my appreciation of this favorable recognition ? It is gratify ing to know that we have publications that gives recognition to all classes of industries that promise relief to our Southern farmers who now find it necessary to free themselves from the one crop idea. For years I was located in the Southwest engaged in the same line of business and after returning to civil life at the close of the recent war availed myself of the opportunity of becoming associated with the larg est produce house in the state of In iiarm. This connection was iade oil account or the fact that I desirod to get more general experience and some of the Northern ideas of conver sion and conservation before I em barked in business for myself in the dear old Southland. In looking for a location I spent se'vIr1al months touring the country, through1 l Kentucky, Tennessee and North and South Carolina. In my travels I found m:any possibilities that held out hopes of quicker returns than did Florence. This feature however, did not appeal to me for the reason that I considered it more or less superlicial. Rather instead I chose this point on account of the fact that it otbered the greatest possible fu ture developimient and expansion on account of its utter lack of produe tion due largely to lack of education, its favorable climatic conditions, soil, needy an1d res ponsive to anIiIal fer tilizer combined with adequate rail road facilities covering the entire Ath!-mItic Coast from New York to Floria. It seemelld to me that n1o other point offered such possibilities for developing a large and useful in dustry as did the Pee Di e section of South Carolina. Since having decided defini tely to locate here I have familiarized my self more thoroughly with other plarts of the South and find1 many pointIs of fering jiust Is good anl opportunity. While I shall endear, by the 20th of I)etelnber, to afford evei'ry cream producer, within the rad1ius of three hundred miles of Florence, a ready 21 pairs E. C.

I would really and truly like to se every publication in the South vigor. ously get in behind this matter o: produce development which includes first, cream production; second, prop er development of the young dairy stock; third, poultry and eggs; fourth hogs. Another product which must not be overlooked is the manure produce< from the above mentioned, includ in the cow herself. In the course of ' few years, if this manure is properly conserved and economically distribut ed, it will materially reduce our com mercial fertilizer bills, and make it possible for us to produce, on fewei acres, more feed stuffs with less ex pense and labor. There should be no question in th< miils of any of us relative to th< matter of our comparative cost of produce as against its cost in the Northern states. The man that ad vances an argument against the pro duce possibilities of the South on ac count of his idea that it will cost. toc much to produce it, is to be pitied more than Censure(l. 11is wantor lack of knowledge in this respect is largely attributable to his greed for knowledge or cotton production. Since the Boll Weevil has become the great est "field agent" of the Creamery an ProItice business, our one timc cotton farmer is now confronted with tile absolute necessity of fortifying h1 imself against the loss, in the eyes of the world, of his social and econo in ie position. On accou~l't of this fact, he is now, without exception, .1 seeker of knowledge in order to suc cessfully combat the Boll Weevil an1 maintaim his social and economic standig with the result that he has t~uined to cencentrated diversified far ining. Beyond questioin, the economic s lut1ion of th' "concentrated diversi fication" is the high quality Dairy (ow, "the Mother of Prosperity." From her has sprung higher educa tion, higher standard of living, bet ter homes and improvements, mort economic home life, increase(l valcu of farmi lMds and various and sun dry other advantages too numerous to mention. Try, if you will, in comlparison with other sections of the countr-y whc have (lone concentrated farm dairy fing for a period of more than ten years and see if you can pirove thesc statements untruC. I do not believe that you will be able to contradict them and the one thing that has made thiis contraliction impossible is the fact that these people Who have fol lowed lairying Were enthusiastically ener('igetiCand were not calamity howl el-s.

Our Southland offers its people this same advantage and no one, no mat ter how much of a pessimist, can convince me that our people are not going to fall in line. This will be more readily accomplished if those of us who are interested in the conver sion and marketing of these products, combined with all other forces, in cluding the press, refrain from selfish motives. The produce men operating in a scientific way, drawing their raw materials from over a large area, operating on a basis of small profits from large volume rather than in a small haphazard way on a basis of small volume and large profits, will net the farmer highest return3 through daily cash markets afforded for their shipments of cream, poultry and eggs. My attitude is that the matter of small profits on a large volume i. economically sound, and I would b glad to see other Creamery and Pro duce mon -come into this country on such a basis with plants distributed throughout the entire South. When such a Condition prevails you will see rapid progress being made by all of our farmers to the end that they will eventually be free from indebtedness wliich makes for a better mode of living.

The high stend ard 'of intelligence portrayed in our Southern people will sooner or later assert itself to such an extent that we will arise again just as we did after the Civil War and in my honest opinion there is not a single rung in the ladder, while on our upward elilhb, that will bear its load with less strain than that rung emblematic of the Dairy Cow and her by-pro ducts. Again thanking you for your in terest and sincerely hoping that you will continue to njanifest this same interest to the end that within a period of five years we can all look Lack with much' pride upon the up ward trend th'at the Dairy Cow, "the Mother of Prosperity," has made pos sible.

Every month or so a report that the vast treasure (alleged to have been buried some sixty years ago) on the Island of Pinlaki had at last been located, has induced a new company of ad venturous Papeete capitalists to equip a fresh expedition only to return with nothing more than a goodly coat of sunburn and back aching from the strenuous exer cise of digging for weeks in the blistering coral sai.d. Then, early in the year, came the yacht "Genesee" from New York in search of a great treasure of gold, said to have been left on the island of Tupai-Manu, in the western Societies, by the German Pacific squadron when they were fheeing from fhe pursuing British and Japanese fleets in 1914. Much real estate on Tupai-Manu flew in to the firmament, on that occasion under the action of good charges of dynamite; but the "Genesee" sail e(. away leaving the treasure to be discovered by a future explorer. And now there is the story of a new treasure. The tale is, that about fifty years ago a Chilaii war shil deposited on the island of Moorea (the island close by Ta hiti) a treasure of gold belonging to the Chilian government of that tine-as a measure to keel) it from falling into the hands of a stron-r revolutiona'y party. The revolu tion must have been successful; for none returned to take away the gold, the story runs. Years after ward, howeve,' the Protestant inmis sionary at Moorea received a letter from a priest in Chile enclosing an outline drawing easil yrecognized ais the outline of the mountain peaks about Opunohy Bay in Moorea asking for information of the loca tion of the island so represented and stating that he had knowledge of a treasure buried there. The missionary having vision; f - goldly adlvetnur''ers Ioupfin.' I is flock - ' io ir up ie let.,' llnd drawing without dislatch ing the answer. Nothing more was heari of the iaair until a month ago when a stianger arrived in the island bear 'ln. charts and (firaw ags which, he claimeld, woul 12,1d him to the tr-easurle. i Report from i Aoor'ea stale that at the place ild icated on his charit on digging down, he caine upon a concrete slab and great was the ex citement atil the s'ab was broken through and a cavity ,about thiree feet in de)th, was disclosed contain ing absolutley nothing. The seek er is, however, hopeful and is hard at work digging and sound ing. in the valleys ahout the bay. NEWY PO(WElU PLAN'TS ON TH'IE WATlERFEE G;reatl Falls, Nov. 28.--J. B.
