SUMTER MEN SEE HOW
PACKING PLANT MAKES
CHIPLEY, FLA., FLOURISH
Should Pay Handsome Dividends In Hog Country
With Year-Around Market, Says
Official
Sumter county will make no mistake in building a small pack
ing plant. This was the concensus of opinion of the men of this
community who visited the locally owned and operated plant at
Chipley. Fla., Tuesday and returned home last night and today.
They saw exactly what the plant is doing there and some of the
wonderful effects on the community. They found a plant double
the capacity of that planned here in successful operation in a ter
ritory the bulk of which is virgin pine timber or cut-over land, very
sandy, with a population in the very large county of only 10,000
people. Cultivated fields are few and far between, and one can
ride for miles without seeing a house.
"If they can make a packing house go here on such sorry land
as this, Sumter county ought to have no fears." was the expression
of W. E. Mitchell and A. B. Connors, expressed simultaneously,
and the others shared their view.
J], l°°k 9 l‘ke a mighty good thing for the community," said
H. L. Mize.
_ * ‘U'w *° See a p,ant bui,t here," was the comment of Dr. !
Boyett. of Marion county when the party reached Americus last'
night. And the others had the same thoughts. j
A small packing plant, properly thing for the community, for there
managed, and located in a hog pro-1 is no doubt that, in spite of the fact
ducing territory which would supply | that it has not yet paid any actual
it with stock the year around, so j dividends to the men who put up the
that it would not have to shut down money. It has paid the commun.ty
hetween seasons or curtail operations " — J —- • -
for lack of sufficient stock, should
pay a handsome dividend to the in
vestors—25 or 30 per cent. But if
it didn’t pay 5 per cent, it would still
be a profitable industry to the com
munity.

of nny *>!ze is nnv more com-
to kill 50 hogs as 200. On the oth
er hand, we have not been able to
operate at capacity during the whole
of the last two years. When the
plant is shut down because of in
ability to secure stock to kill, the ex
pense of management and the pay of
the skilled workers go on just the
same, and dissipate the profits that
p.le up in the winter months.
Might Be Different Here*
“If conditions were such as you say
yours are at Americus where you
would expect to depend upon local
hogs for year-around operation,
things might be different. But so
far we have not been able to depend
upon local hogs: if we did depend
upon them the season with us would
be a short one. However, much prog
ress is being made in educating the
farmer to market his stock at all
times of lhe year, not only for the
good it 'will do the packing house,
but for the better prices he will bi
able to obtain for his hogs.

“Have stood the test” of time, because they
have always first stood the test of our ex
pert chemists. 3 great laboratories test ail
material entering Royster brands so that
nothing harmful to crops can pass. Then
the practical experience of 35 years, the
vigorous and progressive methods, and
splendid manufacturing facilities are ad
ditional reasons why Roysters Fertilizers
“have stood the test.”
