CHEESE FACTORY HOME INDUSTRY Albany Pure Milk & Cheese Co. Makes Splendid Product "The Farmers' Friend" they call him hit name is F. C Pate, prop rietor of the Albany Pure Milk & Cheese Co., with hit factory at the corner of East Filth and Jackson atreeta. Cheese made the very day the milk and cream is delivered, and ngcl kin own cold atoraire room until mar keted, is bound to become one of the tanle food nroducta not only of Al bany but of all the surrounding cities and towns. The year that Mr. Pate resigned from the management of the Albany exonerative Creamery Co.. 1915. he established his new plant, and its growth has been maraea irora we first turn of the churn. From comparatively small number of cus tomers the list has been steadily m-owint- until today his regular ship pers number several hundreds, living in all parti of Linn, Benton ana a nart of Marion counties. The capacity of the big chum- is 800 pounds, while at the same time the plant can handle 10,000 pounds of milk daily. Mr. Pate has his own auto truck - line, which brings in milk and cream from nearhv farms in two counties. The monthly payroll to farmers is upward of $8,000. The highest mar ket nriees are paid. If necessary, Mr. Pate says he has ground enough on which to add new ' Imildinra when occasion shall demand. Last year's business, considering . war prices and the increased cost of production, was very satisfactory; and he looks for a very much larger busi ness during the year izu.

R. Scott Two years ago the writer associat ed himself with the Linn and Benton Fruit Association, a corporation com- posed of Albany business men with 1 Mr. W. H. Paulhamus. of Puyallup.j Wash., as sales manager, with the main idea qf promoting the planting of sufficient acres of berries and tree ' fruits to warrent the building of a ! cannery here in Albany. We told the farmers of the wonderful profits to' be made in the fruit industry, now but j in its infancy, in this great valley so magnificiently adopted to the enter- j prise, promised cash on delivery' markets, free crates, free transporta-! tion, looked up sources ofsupply of trees, strawberry plants, logan and raspberry tips, infact osdered them supplying at net cost to assist in any 1 way to make it easier to start the in- j dustry well knowing from our ex perience of 20 years in the business in ' the Puypllup valley, what the out-' come would be, once fairly started in ' and honest, earnest way. Contracts' enough were signed to warrent Mr. Panlhamus in recommending the tak ing over of the Linn A Benton Fruit Assn., by his company the Puyallup; S. F. G. C. Co., which was done last spring and a large modern cannery now occupies the prettiest site on the Willamette River on the 3 acre tract bounded by the river, Main, ! Hill and First streets in Albany. The main building is 96 by 208 feet, one third -its length being two 'stories high. This is for warehouse purpos es, with concrete floor in the entire' building. The boiler house is solid brick construction 30 by 30 and hous es a ISO horse boiler with ample steaming capacity. Before the build ing' was anywhere near completed we started canning blackberries, plums, prunes, peaches and finished on ap ples. Hundreds of tons of fruit was canned and thousands and thoussnjj of dollars distributed in the commun ity not enly saving the surplus fruits but employing over 200 people with a two-weekly payroll of 19.000; this for months. We have but Just closed down and even yet are employing a consider able force, packing and shipping and getting ready fur next year , Our company has ordered machinery for installation that will cost upwards of 1100,000, additional warehouse and preparation rooms must be built; comfort stations, rest and lunch rooms must be built. These necessary im provements will cost many more thousands. Right here I want to ask you, dear reader, has Mr. W. H. Paulhamus made his word good? Have I made my every promise good? Is the can nery worth while to this community? If you think it is what are YOU planting for it? How are you sup porting it? Do you realize this cannery will have to operate on foreign fruit fruit brought from upper and lower valley and from both east and west hills, while we are waiting for you to make your promises .good and PLANT strawberries, loganberries , Manger blackberries, gooseberries, Dawson plums, Montmorency cher ries, red and black currants, quinces and other fruits in sufficient quanti ties? ' Do you realize that Puyallup Val ley land is selling for $1200 per acre because of its fruit canneries, sister canneries to Albany Cannery, owned and operated by the same company and management? It's time for 'you people to act PLANT NOW this very spring. We have enough tips and roots contracted for a large area. Engage" what you need today. Call 91 or stop me anywhere. Tell us what you can DO, not what you WANT to do, but DO IT and DO IT j NOW. We supply at net cost to us.j Read what Mrs. Lucy O'Dell Thomp son of Puyallup has done with 1 and 4 acres: Owns one and quarter acre home place, good house about 30x36 feet on ground, good sized chicken house with 300 birds, wood , shed and coal house, root house and . flower garden. This place owned and j worked by Mrs. Thompson, who is aj cripple, and Mr. Thompson in very; poor health. Here is their actual re-j cord from settlement sheets and rash book for 1U1U crop: 1 Sold neighbors from cherry trees, apple trees, currant and gooseberries $ 46.78 Sold cannery 4855 pounds evergreen berries 61(1.93 Sold cannery 4800 lbs rasp berries ' 814.43 Total gross sales f 1478.14 Paid for labor 230.00 Total net earnings $ 1248.14 , Canes on this place were set 21 years ago by the present owner. This shows what proper care and cultiva tion will do. Another case: Mr. Durkee sold 1225 worth of rasp berries from two city lots, his home paying a rental of $180 per year for the place, he being employed on the railroad. The family did the work. Then again: Mr. Foster cropiwd from fraction over an acre 366 crates strawberries selling at an average price of 13.05 per crate. Cross sales were $1085.80. Here is another: Mr.' Churchward sold from 2i acres evergreen berries 30,(00 pounds to cannery and shipped 820 crates vf 16 pounds each or 6120 pounds. Total weight, 8M20 pounds at 9 rents $3204.80. The high coat of living Is not both ering Mr. Churchward. He has three I story farming. This I aver: Home tract has a large orchard, apples, ' cherries, pears, etc., above the ber ries, and chickens on the ground. Paul Sulkosky sold rsnnery 16,000 ' pounds of strawberries, Marshall va ! riety,' from 1 acres, at 14 cent. Total $2240. j These are just a few growers among many hundreds In the Puyallup Val ley, the truth of which can easily be proven if doubted. My friends, these berry growers do not fear the high cost of living even on their small acres. You should be equally proieruus per acre right here. WHY NOT? Come to cannery or call 91 let's talk it over. ' W. R. SCOTT. Mgr. P. S. Read Mr. Paulhamus, article in December Better Fruit magazine It's worth while. Charlston h.
