MOLINE — Alvin Hulling, Geneseo, suc- 

 ceeded Edward Marshall on the Henry 

 county route June 20. Edward is continuing 

 work in the Dairy Herd Improvement As- 

 sociation. 



Cream receipts in July exceeded by 22.6 

 per cent the volume of a year earlier. This 

 is due to increases in both the number of pro- 

 ducers and the volume of cream per producer. 

 The Moline territory was enlarged in May 

 when part of /Mercer county became part of 

 the district. New routes were established this 

 summer in Rod Island and Whiteside 

 counties. 



CHAMPAIGN — Plant Superintendent 

 Paulson was on vacation early this month. 



Salesmen McDuffee and Pitchford or* driv- 

 ing New International trucks. 



The Champaign creamery was host when 

 all Producers Creameries managers met, Sept. 

 5, at the Urbana-Lincoln hotel. 



CARBONDALE — The seasonal decrease 

 in. cream volume was offset this year by 

 additional patrons, says Manager Brackett. 

 Fall showers and efficient salesmen also 

 aided in keeping butter production up. 



' Pour mew trucks, added to the cream pro- 

 curement fleet, are keeping down costs. 



Clean cans aid in keeping cream sweet. In 

 line with this rule, a new Lathrop-Paulson 

 can washer was installed Sept. li. 



BLOOMINGTON — The large, lighted 

 sign atop the Farmers Creamery of Bloom- 

 ington proclaiming "The Largest Cooper- 

 ative Creamery in Illinois" was treated to 

 its annual coat of Soyoil paint in August. 



Churnings in August kept pace with 

 July's volume, Manager Fairchild reports. 



A NEW HIGH in Prairie Farms butter sales 

 in the Bloomington district was made the 

 week of August 5. The record lasted less than 

 a month, during the week of September 2 

 sales climbed 10 per cent above the Aug. 

 3 mark. 



OLNEY — Demand for Prairie Farms 

 print butter is booming. Sales in August 

 were 35.6 per cent more than for August 

 1938, Manager George Adams reports. 



Door deliveries are showing excellent gains. 

 Last year 875 pounds were brought in during 

 July as compared to 32i3 for July. 1939. 



Oil developments in the Olney district 

 have cut butterfat production in some counties. 

 Entire townships, formerly good cream terri- 

 tory, now produce no cream. Postal figures 

 show an increase of 65,000 population in the 

 oil field area. Many cream producers are sell- 

 ing whole milk to meet new demands. 



Farm advisers of ten counties attended the 

 quarterly meeting at Olney, Sept. 8. Manager 

 George Adams reported most producers are 

 taking excellent care of their cream. Frank 

 Gougler said that the volume of butterfat be- 

 ing sent to the Producers Creamery is in- 

 creasing steadily where monthly cream meet- 

 ings are held.
