\ 



The Producers Creamery of Carbondale 

 has taken steps toward purchasing a 

 well-lighted, modern factory building 

 erected a few years ago for its plant. 

 Work toward remodeling the building for 

 a modern creamery will begin shortly. 

 The building was formerly used as a 

 shoe factory. It is a modern, fireproof 

 two-story structure with a concrete lower 

 floor. It is proposed to use the north end 

 of the ground floor for the creamery 

 which will be separated from the rest of 

 the building by a tight wall. 



Arrangements have been made to buy 

 the building under contract from the 

 Carbondale Business Men's Association. 

 Favorable terms have been secured so 

 that the initial investment for recondi- 

 tioning and equipping the plant will be 

 held to a minimum. As the payroll at 

 the plant increases the purchase price 

 will be reduced. Part of the space in the 

 building already has been leased, the in- 

 come of which will be used to pay taxes, 

 insurance and upkeep. The Illinois Fruit 

 Growers' Exchange is considering using 

 part of the building as a warehouse and 

 packing plant. The Jackson County 

 Farm Bureau has been invited to move 

 its oflices into the building from 

 Murphysboro. 



An executive committee composed of 

 F. A. Easterly, Carbondale, president; 

 L. E. Lingenfelter, UUin, vice-president; 

 and A. E. Fosse of Marion, secretary- 

 treasurer of Producers Creamery of Car- 

 bondale, is in charge of negotiations and 

 plans for launching the new co-operative. 



Frank Gougler, director of produce 

 marketing, is giving the new creamery 

 special attention. Carbondale is in the 

 center of a large cream producing terri- 

 tory in southern Illinois. The cream pool 



at Murphysboro, only a few miles away, 

 is one of the largest in the state deliver- 

 ing upwards of 100,000 pounds of butter- 

 fat annually. 



The lilinois Agricultural Mutual had 



insured 1134 4-H elub calves up to Nov. 

 15. Thirty-two calves died and |1140 waa 

 paid in losses. The premium is 6% of 

 the cost of calf and the amount of pro- 

 tection on each increases 10% each 

 month for six months. 



The College of Agriculture, University 



of Illinois, has the largest enrollment 

 this year (893) students since 1921. En- 

 rollment for the entire University was 

 10,616 students, a gain of 6.8 per cent 

 over last year. One-fourth of this gain 

 was in the Ag College. 



Price fixing under the NRA was de- 

 clared illegal by Judge Harry B. Ander- 

 son of Memphis, Tennessee in a ruling 

 on the national lumber code. "Any price 

 fixing is the antithesis of competition, 

 fair or otherwise — and there is nothing 

 in the national recovery act to show that 

 such was the intention of Congress," he 



said. 1 . .■

The AAA dairy division has adopted 



a policy of keeping fluid milk prices more 

 closely in line with butterfat prices. Thus 

 Class I milk at - Chicago was cut from 

 $2.25 to $2, and at the Quad Cities from 

 $1.85 to 11.70. 



Illinois wheat signers will receive an 



estimated $769,500 in the second benefit 

 payment and approximately $1,712,846 as 

 the first 1934-'35 payment. 



Uncle Ab says that the best of ease 

 comes only after the hardest of toil.
