Experiment Station Gives Points . Proper Grading of Cream.' The fact that there is a market for some sour cream is no reason that marketed cream should be sour. Those interested in the production -of milk and cream should study the values of differ ent grades and get the most possible out of their products. Cream grading is just as irp portant to the man marketing cream as cotton grading is to the man marketing cotton. • -It has been recognized for years that clean sound cream is worth more than that which nas undergone partial breaking down of one or j more of its constituents. But for various reasons, chiefly busi ness rivalry, grading has not yetj become general. In some locali ties, it is being done and a differ- ■ ence of 4 to 7 cents per pound of butter fat is paid between first and third classes of cream. Cream is bought on a butter fat, basis and it is . both illogical and unfair to pay as much for the fat; in poor cream as for fat in good clean cream. The price of butter depends i more largely upon all other qual- i ities put together. The flavor of butter is due almost wholly to the kind and amount of bacterial 1 growth which takes place in the cream before the outter is made, often before the cream reaches the place of manufacture. The price is seldom influced by work manship. The best grade of but ter usually sells.for about 12 per cent more than seconds and the difference is only that of flavor or tasty quality. When other qualities are off too there is even a greater reduction in price. The cost of producing a pound of in- j ferior butter is practically equal 1 Georgia Interest in Ford Offer. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 21.—A1l of Georgia is interested, doubtless as never before in the industrial matter, over the fight to secure the development of Muscle Shoals in Alabama, and prominent peo ple here today discussed the ac-! tivities of U. S. Senator William J. Harris of Georgia in his suc cessful fight to bring the offer of Henry Ford before congress and have both the senate and the house work on the proposition concurrently to save time. It will be recalled that Senator Harris conferred with Secretary Weeks several weeks ago urging him to speed up the report and provide in the contract for manu facture of fertilizers. A short time afterwards a statement from Secretary Weeks said Ford’s offer was not satisfactory in ref erence to the fertilizer feature. This was cleared up promptly in an exchange of telegrams be tween Senator Harris and Ford’s office in Detroit. The Ford offer was sent to the House and not to the Senate and Senator Harris inquired as to the failure to send the report to both Houses, ' and then Secretary Weeks decided to send the report to the Senate. Before the War Secretary had made known his purpose to send the report to the Senate, Senator Harris made a motion that the offer be referred to the Senate Committee on Agriculture for consideration. A fight developed, but the re port has gone to the Agriculture committee for consideration. It is thought this committee is sym pathetic with the proposition. Mount Vernon Wood Yard W. A.

Vernon depot ;to the cost of producing a pound of goodibutter. The dis ! ference in selling price shows the cost of carelessness in handling the cream. The value of cleanliness is noj where more manifest than in the dairy. The price depends upon j flavor, flavor depends upon bac- j teria, and bacteria depends upon the dirtiness of the cow’s teats, the milker’s hands, pail, strainer cloths, separator and other uten sils used in connection with the cream. If all of these be clean the cream is well started towards a choice butter and high price. j To prevent rapid souring cream should be cooled immedi ately after separating to a tem perature of 50 degrees or below. Clean cream cooled at once will I keep sweet a week or ten days very readily. Under plain farm i conditions the cream may, by the use of cold well water, be kept 3 to 4 days if produced in a clean manner. Cream shouldordinari- Ily be delivered to the creamery j or made into butter at least three times a week in summer and twice in wfhter. Those who can find a market for sweet cream should take ad vantage of it by all means. One gallon of 25 per cent cream weighs 8.4 lbs, and contains 2.1 lbs. of butter fat. At 35 cents per pound it would be worth 73.5 cents. The same gallon of cream at 5 cents per unit will be worth $1.25. This shows a difference of 52.5 cents per gallon in favor of sweet cream when the above prices prevail, j. D. G. Sullins. Animal Husbandmen. Jones-Cowart. One of the prettiest weddings of the season was that of Miss Clara Murphee Jones, of Bain bridge, and Mr. George B. Cow art, of Albany, Sunday after noon at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Jones. The home was elaborate ly decorated in Southern smilax and sacred lilies with quantities of candles and incandescent lights casting an effective glow over the wedding scene. An arch made of ferns and palms and lighted with small lights was used for the ceremony which was performed by the Reverend Mr. Shell of the first Baptist church. The bride entered with her sister, Mrs. George savage, and met the groom with his best man, Mr. Chas D. Smith. In a toilette of dark blue taffeta,, made cape ef fect, hat to match of turquoise blue and touches of gold worn snugly over bobbed hair and car ring a boquet of white carna tions and ferns Miss Jones was la dainty, petite bride. An infor mal reception was held. The bride and groom left by auto at ,4 o’clock for their future home in Albany. Mrs. Cowart as Clara Jones was a popular girl and one of the most efficient young busi ness women of Bainbridge. Mr. cowart is a young lawyer of Al bany.
