I Drive To Use Up I Cheese Surplus: South Carolina is urged to join in a nationwide movement to increase! the use of cheese and aid the dairy industry of the State and Nation, in a statement issued today by J. Koy Jones, Commissioner of Agriculture. Tlie United States Department of Agriculture is sponsoring a "Cheese Week" in the hope of gieutly reducing the surplus of 30,000,000 pounds of cheese now in storage. The Natural Resources Division of the Department of Agriculture has been actively engaged during the past week in planning for this event, stated Mr, Jones. Coventor I bra Cv > Blackwood, the mayors of a number of South Carolina cities and leaders in other lines have pledged their cooperation to the movement, it is stated, A proclamation calling on the people of the state to observe December 11th to 16th as "Cheese Week" will be issued by the Governor, it was learned today. ( v Clyde K. King, head of the Dairy Division of the United States Department of Agriculture, is cooggi^ting with Commissioner Jones in the promotion of the dairy industry in South Carolina. "The people of our state should be glad to lend any aid possible to this undertaking," declared Mr. Jones, who called attention to the fact that a large cheese plant at Greenwood is affording a cash market to many farmers for their milk and cream. The natural ' resources division of the department has gathered information showing that the Greenwood plant during the pasUdwelve months purchased about million pounds of fjpillc for cheese making and 400,000 pounds of butter fat in sour cream for butter making, and paid approximately $100,000 cash to farmers." Cream and milk buying stations are located at Abbeville, McCormick, Edgefield and I^ancaster, it is stated. Most of these plants are supervised by the county agents and farmers are paid cash for their products. The weights and tests are approved by the county agents and are'accepted by the cheese and butter plant. Based on the population of the United States it is estimated that an additional pound of cheese to every family next week will wipe out the surplus of 30,000,000 pounds, it is pointed out by Commissioner Jones. M. J. Cullen spent last week end here with his family. His many friends will be glad to learn he will be here for the winter season, having his former position with the Seaboard Air Line railway.
