ANOTHER COUNTY TO SHIP SOME CREAM
Columbia county seems to have a live wire in its
County Agent, Joe Tum.er, and if the farmers of that
courtly follow up the program he has outlined for
them in the shipping of sour cream, a good many
thousands of dollar* are going to come into that
county regularly each month that have been going
clssSmere.
Three or four cream shipping stations are going to
be established in Columbia county in the near fu
rore? These stations will be equipped with a separa
tor snd a Babcock tester, and arrangements will be
made to pay cash for every pound of cream that is
delivered to them. Two or three times a week jhis
crejim will be shipped to Augusta and other points.
It’is gratifying to know that Columbia county al
ready has many fine pastures and that more pas
ture* will be developed this fall and winter through
out the county. Lespedeza, Dallis and Carpet grass
sow n on the Bare ground in February and March will
ifurnjsh enough pasture per acre to take care of a
BRnnd a calf, according to the experts. More pas-
|^Bcs, more cows and less cotton is about the most
■fncdnraging thing that coujd happen to Columbia
county.
