Farmers Ordering More Cows to Sell Milk for New Creamery, Oct. 21, 1925

Dairy Cattle

From the Asheville Citizen

Jackson County is stirring in more ways than road building—it is alert and up-and-coming. Each week we note in the progressive Jackson County Journal some new symptom of county activity and Sylva-Dillsboro Enterprise.

The Journal is impressed with the possibilities in the dairy business for Jackson, Macon, clay, Swain and Cherokee counties, which will open next Spring with the opening of the creamery which the Carolina Creamery of Asheville is building at Franklin. The counties have the grass and the creamery will supply a market for the milk.

Anticipating this enlarged market, farmers from four sections of Jackson County have engaged County Agent Tilson and State Dairy Specialist Farnham to buy for them a number of fine Jersey heifers in Tennessee so that they will have more high grade milk cows in service by the time the creamery is ready. Other farmers are invited to join in the purchase plan, and it is stated by The Journal that the banks of Sylva are promoting it.
