These are found especial ly in the area toward Union coun ty, having started with cows six or seven years ago when the Union Creamery, now moved to Rock Hill, attracted their interest. Cream trucks gather their product and take it to Rock Hill for butter-mak- :ng. tenant farmers using cows, hogs, and hens to supplement cotton farming. For six years, says Mrs. Blackwell, telling of their experi ence, cream checks have been a good source of income—almost a life saver at times. Milking 10 cows fed on home-grown feeds con sisting chiefly of oats, good pas- China pigs and Black Giant chick ens. Besides a cream separator little equipment is needed for this phase of dairying.
