New Creamery 



New P/on/ of Carlyle is 11th of 



lAA Affiliated Prairie Farms Creameries 



PLANS are now well under way 

 for the construction of the new 

 Prairie Farms Creamery at Carlyle 

 in Clinton county.' It will be the 

 11th of the Illinois Agricultural 

 Association's affiliated Prairie Farms 

 Creameries. 



The creamery also will serve the sur- 

 rounding counties of Monroe, St. Clair. 

 Washington, Marion, and Jefferson. A 

 stock selling campaign is now under 

 way in these counties under the direc- 

 tion of Judson P. Mason. lAA director 

 of dairy marketing, to raise 8150.000 

 needed to finance the plant. The stock 

 is five per cent cumulative. 



The .hoard of directors of Sanitary 

 Milk Producers, the farmers' coopera- 

 tive which markets Grade A milk in 

 nearby St. Louis, has approved the 

 move to establish a farmers' creamery 

 in Carlyle. We know of no better way 

 to guarantee a safe market for our 

 product, they explained, than for farm- 

 ers to have their own plant ready to 

 handle their milk. 



The 10 Prairie Farms Creameries 

 produce practically every dairy product 

 available including butter, cheese, con- 

 densed milk, ice cream mix, powdered 

 milk, cream, and buttermilk. The Car- 

 lyle creamery will start by handling 

 Grade A milk only. Plans call for the 

 further development of the plant to fit 

 the needs of the producers and the com- 

 munity. 



The new plant will be modern in 

 design and will be 86 feet wide at the 

 front and 20 feet deep and can be en- 

 larged to more than 300 feet deep if 

 needed. 



In layout it will profit from the ex- 

 perience of numerous managers of other 



Prairie Farms Creameries. Plans were 

 drawn up by Forrest C. Fairchild, man- 

 ager of the state company. Work will 

 be carried out under the direction of 

 lAA Engineer Erik Smith. 



The 10 other Prairie Farms Cream- 

 eries (top to bottom, see map) are lo- 

 cated at Mt. Carroll, Moline, Henry, 

 Galesburg. Bloomington. Champaign. 

 Mt. Sterling. Carlinville, OIney. and 

 Carbondale. 



The Prairie Farms Creamery of 

 Henry is also in the midst of a stock 

 selling campaign to raise new capital 

 for the installation of additional milk 

 processing equipment. A new homo- 

 genizer has been installed. Plans call 

 for the installation of a new milk cooler

and equipment for the manufacture 

 of cottage cheese and ice cream. The 

 manufacture of a greater variety of 

 condensed milk products is planned. 



Manager John Raab of the Henry 

 creamery said the new equipment will 

 help assure dairy farmers in the area 

 of a dependable market for their milk. 



The Prairie Farms Creamery at Mt. 

 Carroll is developing the same type 

 milk receiving equipment to meet re- 

 quirements of the Chicago health de- 

 partment. They are now in the process 

 of adding $25,000 in preferred stock 

 to their present capital structure.
