FARMERS ARE MAKING MONEY
SELLING MILK AND CHEESE
Ooe of the new industries of
the state that is foregoing
aheod is cheese making in the
mountain counties of north
Georgia. The first factory
was started near Young Harris
and is a short time two others
will be in operation. Behind
it is an interesting story of how
the State College of Agricul
ture, co-operating with the U.
S. Department of Agriculture,
is building permanent in
dustries of one kind and an
other over the state that pro
vide markets and assist the
farmer in making more money
on the same land.
Although Georgia consumes
cheese in such Quantities that,
carload shipments are made
from Wisconsin none has been
made in the state until recent
ly. The first factory was built
in the spring of 1918 near
Young Harris and the business
started in a small way. L. IT.
Marlett, Athens, Ga., is in
charge of the cheese factory
(work in the state. Cheese
making soon became a popular
industry and the little factory
made good from the first day.
The two factories that are
being built are nearly com
pleted and part of the ma
chinery installed. One is locat
ed six miles from Young Har
ris and will be known as the
“State Line Cheese Factory.”
The other is at Cleveland and
will be called the “Cleveland
Cooperative Cheese - Factory.”
These two new buildings will
be improvements over the first
one put up at Young Harris.
The deatiled report for
April is most gratifying. The
net price per pound of butter-
fat received by the farmers
was 84(4 cents. Butter is sel
ling in that territory at from
20 to 25 cents per pound.
From present indications the
value of milk received this
season will be treble what it
was last year.

Thousands of persons who
crowded the decks of ships in
the harbor and vantage points
on the waterfront were disap
pointed at the, failure to start

confiddn that the engine troub
le is not important and that it
will be remedied in time to be

break tomorrow, weather per
mitting.
Crowds of souvenir hunters
who tried to get pieces of the
