PROPOSED CREAMERY FOR
DUBLIN NOW ASSURED.
Farmers of this section who want
to go into the dairying business will
be interested in the report from Dub
lin that final organization work on
the proposed creamery is now under
way, it having been definitely deieded
to put the project over and establish
a plant* in Dublin.
There have already been about 300
cows pledged for supplying milk to
i the creamery, and while more are
needed before it can be supplied well
enough to operate, these are expect
ed to be secured by the time the
plant is ready to operate. There are
a number of large dairies in nearby
counties which can ship milk to a
plant in Dublin very easily, and which
will make the proposition bigger
than at first expected. These are
being asked to join in the proposi
tion.
The matter is being handled thru
the Chamber of Commerce, with the
assistance of the farmers, several
dairymen already established in Lau
rens county, and business men inter
ested in the plant. Secretary N. G.
Bartlett of the Chamber of Com
merce and C. E. Perry, a dairyman,
have just returned from Selma. Ala.,
where they were shown the big
creameries operating there, and also
the farms where the milk is produced
to supply these plants. At the
meeting held here Saturday they mad*
their report, and the unanimous de
cision was made to start just as soon
as possible.
The Geeslin Tee Cream plant has
agreed to add the creamery to its
plant, as it has most of the machin
ery needed already installed, making
the cost of the creamery plant com
parativly low to start with. It is
hoped to be operating within the next
sixty days, if possible.

FAVORABLE WEATHER
FOR COTTON GROWERS.
The weather for the past week has
been very favorable for cotton grow
ers, and many planters report half
grown bolls on the plants.
The hot,dry weather for several
weeks has been hard on the boll wee
vil, and plows have been kepk going
so as to keep the ground scraped and
the weevils covered up as they drop
off the plants.
Tim SEASON
KBJWRISII
ALL LARGE BUYING COMPANIES
TO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES
AT VIDALIA—SPLENDID PROS
PECT FOR GOOD CROP.
The tobacco season at the Vidalia
Loose Leaf Warehouse will open on
July 15th. with all the lajge tobacco
buying companies represented, ac
cording to information received in V -
dalia this week. The tobacco plant
ers have already gathered their first
barns and will in all probability have
a big break for the first day.
The warehouse will be in readiness
for the tobacco season from the very
jump and it is thought that Vidalia
will climb from fourth place in vol
ume to about second place, and also
maintain her record for receiving the
highest price in the state, if the qual
ity and brightness of the leaf now
showing can be retained.
Among the improvements this sea
son will be the side track which has
been installed at the warehouse, this
feature alone being worth considera
ble money in saving to the shippers
’ p.» it will be possible to ship in sheets
if the buyers wish, thus saving the
• price of the big wooden hogsheads
and the labor of packing them.
