Department of ‘the Interior and the University system it is pro posed to find satisfactory marlkets for farm products to be raised: by the community before the products are grown. Y Professor Firor commented, in releasing the butter report, that the two milion pounds of butter being shipped into Georgia is not a complete estimate, At least this amoun¢ is being shipped in, and further studies on the. point . ave now being made., - The marketing plan called for -a compilation of data showing the demands in the University systeth and the oppor tunities for marketing butter else where in the state. On butter, the following summary was issued: In making this study of butte: marketing it was assumed that dairy farming would be one of the im portant enterprises of the farmers of Chanecellorsville Homestead com munity. Although it seems more profitable to_ sell fluid milk, the location of the farmers of CHC may make it impracticable for them to do this. However, this phase of dairy farming wil be dealt with later. In any case, the ques tion of building and operating a creamery and -the marketing of butter is certain to come up, With this in mind the atached report of this butter study has been pre pared. Additional data is being assembled and will be available to those in charge of CHC. Important Conclusions The imbortunt conclusions from this study of butter are: 1.
