Improvements Made
To Local Flour Mill
(From The Spartanburg Herald)
The Spartan Grain and Mill comp
any, one of the oldest milling con
cerns in South Carolina, hrs an
nounced the recent purchase of the
200-barre) flour mill formerly owned
by the Farmers Oil Mill of Newber-
r y. , .
Extensive improvements are being
made and, when completed, Newberry
will have one of the largest and
best flour mills in the State.
Storage of 50,000 bushels of grajn
is being provided and will be avail
able wtihout cost to farmers of that
section if wheat is exchanged for
flour. Free storage for one year is
offered if wheat is exchanged for
flour during that time.
New equipment which will mater
ially improve flour quality has been
installed. Farmers will be assured
of high grade, guaranteed flour in
exchange for their wheat.
Another feature of the remodeled
mill will be a fast handling service.
Prompt handling and additional un
loading facilities will enable farmers
to get flour within a few minutes
after wheat is weighed. The New
berry mill will have a daily flour
capacity of 200 barrels in addition to
a modern plant for making commer
cial mixed feeds.
The Spartan Grain and Mill com
pany has been giving similar service
to the farmers at their Spartanburg
and Landrum Mills for many years.
The Spartanburg mill has combined
storage space for 250,000 bushels. A
new elevator, one of the largest and
most modern in this section, was
completed last year. This enormous
granary towers 107 feet high and
consists of eight bins, each 85 feet
high and 16 feet in diameter. It is
constructed of concrete and steel
and equipped with the latest type
machinery. The new elevator is used
largely for storing wheat produced
by farmers in upper South Carolina.
Spartan products are distributed
through dealers from Virginia to
Florida, and bear a high reputation
for quality. Altogether 47 different
kinds of feeds are made, including
high grade poultry, dairy, hog, stock,
rabbit, goat and dog feeds, as well as
quality flour, com meal and grits.
Thousands of farmers in the Pied
mont area exchange their wheat for
Spartan flour each year.

Farm Women Want
White Flour Enriched
By Ethel L. Counts
These are times that call for close
cooperation in order to get desired
results. We are asking parents arid
friends of 4-H club members to help
us in every manner possible to ob
tain our objectives which are: More
gardens, more and better canning
done by 4-H club members.
In order to encourage the girls in
this gardening and canning work, the
Dixie Home Stores are offering cer
tain cojinties (and Newberry is orie
of these) awards at fairs. These
prizes are substantial and well worth
working for. The requirements are
12 containers showing variety of 3
different fruits and 3 different vege
tables. No preserves or pickle ar in
cluded. The girls are being encour-
alged to fill jars for town friends
and relatives which would be a help
to both parties concerned. IT you
live in town and have empty jars
contact a 4-H club member and see if
you can’t make satisfactory arrange
ments about getting these filled for
you. The girls can find ready yse
for the extra cash and you will be
sure of something to fall ' back on
next winter, and also fesl that you
are being patriotic by releasing com
mercial products.
The State Council of Farm Women
has a big part in the effort to secure
at the last session of the General
Assembly the passage of two “en
richment” bills. They would require
the enrichment of all white flour,
white bread and oleomargarine sold
in the State.
It is not required that the miller
enrich the flour ground for the farm
er although be may do so if the
farmer wishes. Since Vitamin Bl,
Nicotinic Acid and Iron are the re
quired elements and these are so im
portant in nutrition it seems that we
would want to request the miller to
add these ingredients to our home
grown flour. It seems that the ex
tra cost is so very little that this
would dot be an obstacle. It be
hooves every farm family to think
this over seriously before going to
mill and insist that their flous be en
riched so that they may give their
families the benefit of this new know
ledge of nutrition.
