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. Craig, the newly-appointed
home demonstration pgent
for Kershaw county, has addressed
the following letter to the farm women
and girls of the county:
"I count it a privilege to have the
opportunity of Working with the people
of Kershaw county as your home
demonstration agent and I am looking
forward to the time when I shall
know each of you. My predecessor,
Mrs. Saht^ond, wais one of the best
acent.s In t1? ??vA
standing work, so with the foundation
she has laid we can expect to build
a stronger and better organization.
"From the organization of the first
club in 1910/home demonstration
work has continued to ? grow and expand.
From the planting of tomatoes
it has grown into many phases
of work as gardening and canning,
poultry, room improvement, clothing,
and food for girls and home management,
food selection, e*terior beautification
and many other projects for
women. . -
"Home demonstration work is supported
by furids appropriated by the
state and the United Spates department
of agriculture and is for the
use of. all the people of the covin ty.
So if I can be of any help, to you at
any time do not hesitate to call on
me. I shall be in the office on "Monday
and Saturday afternoons and will
be glad to have you come in."

Camel Advertising
Cancelled In State
i Columbia, June~l2~^A<iv?rtiding of
.J. 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.
