'* Cream Route Offered County Farmers Arrangement* are being made with the Piedmont Creamery of Rock Hill to extend, jtJie truck route to Camden making two tripe per week provided sufficient cream can be bought from Kershaw county farmers. AH farmers of Kershaw county who are now selling cream or who would consider beginning to . sell cream are requested to notify County Agent Green at once in order that it may be determined whether there will be enough cream to warrant the truck route" coming into Camden. In order to sell sour cream it is not necessary to have a large number of milk cowj nor is It necessary to have a great deal of equipment. Aany farmers begin to sell sour cream from only two cowe and increase the cream sales as they "are able ^ increase the number of cows kei^fc ^Itis desirable to separate the cream with a regular separator machine, however, in beginning it may be satisfactory to skim the cream by hand | if particular pains are taken to skim closely. A small, new separator may be purchased for $10.00 or $20.00. Also three or four five-gallon shipping cane will be needed, however, these are not expensive. While it is true that dairy products, including sour cream, will bring low prices it is also true that all other commodities are bringing low prices and it must be remembered that the amount of money received from the sale of cream is only a part of the income derived from cows. The skim mlHc which may be fed to pigs and chickens, the man-are and the luCVcw^e Should not be overlooked. Cow? offer a good way to build up the soil, increase the estate and at the same time bring in a small income which is an important matter right now. I would appreciate it if the people of the county would lend their cooperation to this matter andi erven though you may not have cream for sale yourself you may know of a neighbor who might, be interested, please send his name in, is the request of Henry D. Green, county agent. New Home Agent Writes To Women Miss Sadie B.

Reynolds Tobacco company in some South Carolina newspapers has been discontinued because of the Ux situation," W. G. Query, chairman of the atute tax commission and several newspapers have 'been informed. The company's advertising agency, Krwin, Wasey & Co. of Now York has written that "as long as this condition exists, it is doubtful if there will be any further Chmel cigarette advertising" in South Carolina newspapers. Agents of the state tax commission have been seizing numerous packages of Camel cigarettes from Boufcfc. Carohna retailer? because the state business license stamp is said not to adhere properly to the? new cellophane covering the Reynolds ' company uses on its products. Mr. Query, in a letter to newspapers, reports the commission "ready to cooperate to the fulleet extent in the working out of a solution to the matter At Wiheton-Balem, S. Clay Williams president of the Reynolds company, said there was no feud between hie company and the tax commission. Cancellation of advertising was not in a spirit of retaliation, he said, but was a practical business move. houth Carolina merchants have developed a practice of removing the ci cellophane wrapping, he said, sticking the stamps to the inner wrapper. Since the cellophane feature of Reynolds products was so strongly emphasised in the company's advertising campaign, the company did not feel suoh advertising would be of value where the cellophane-wrapped package could not be bought.
