cream 



By Frank Gougler 

 The question of expansioG of plant opera- 

 tions in order to handle both separated 

 cream and fluid milk was discussed at the 

 annual meeting of the Producers Creamery 

 of Peoria in January. This would involve 

 the establishment of two or more plants 

 to adequately serve the producers of the en- 

 tire territory. One of the proposals ad- 

 vanced was the establishment of a new 

 creamery to serve the north territory, and 

 a new creamery to serve the south ter- 

 ritory. Followinj{ the discussion, stock- 

 holders and patrons voted unanimously in 

 favor of such an expansion pro;;ram. In 

 the event that the two or more creameries 

 were established, it is possible that the op- 

 erations in Peoria mi>;ht be discontinued, 

 and that both milk and cream would be 

 processed at the new plants. 



Producers Creamery of Mt. Carroll hopes 

 to have a new home some time durin;; 1944. 

 Recently the board of directors voted to 

 undertake an expansion program which 

 would provide for a milk dryer, new boiler, 

 additional milk equipment, and a new home 

 to house the equipment. A /;oal was estab- 

 lished for raisinj; more than $40,000 through 

 the sale of stock to finance the project. 

 Reports indicate that this goal is nearly 

 reached. 



Manager Frank Mleynek of Olney reports 

 that the stock selling program under way 

 in the Olney district is going successfully 

 and it appears that the additional capital 

 needed for the expansion program will be 

 raised entirely through mail subscriptions. 

 The additional capital is to be used for the 

 purchase of a larger milk dryer, a larger 

 boiler, and additional milk equipment. This 

 program is necessary because 41 per cent 

 more volume is being received than a year 

 ago and 1000 per cent more milk powder 

 is being produced. 



Creamery butter production in the United 

 States during November, 1943, is reported 

 to be 14 million pounds less than in No- 

 vember, 1942. The total make for the 

 month was 93 million pounds, which is the 

 smallest November make since 1915. The 

 reduction is reported to be due to diversion, 

 insufficient help, and shortage of protein 

 feeds.
