There is nothing
wrong with the cream
and butter that is ship
ped from New York
State to Georgia, but
there is something
wrong with Georgia
when it is necessary to
have them shipped from
such a distance. Geor
gia needs more milk
producers, creameries
and cheese factories.
The situation is improv
ing rapidly out there is
room for many more.
One of the most success
ful creameries in the
State is the compara
tively small one at Ea-
tonton, established
through the efforts of B.
W. Hunt, a banker, and
Dr. J. D. Weaver. It is
co-operative, cost only
$8,000.00, and is making
a n average monthly
profit of $150.
