Attitude of Fanners. $60.00 A WEEK AND EXPENSES YESYOU CAN GET IT Rome interesting facts concerning the •ttitnde ot farmers toward this type of farming is gleaned from the experience s f the Dairy Department The farmers as a rule desire to know and to be shown that they are getting honest treatment. If a farmer believes he is not receiving his dne for any crop, he will turn from the erop, and this is par ticularly true of the usury business in a country wherein dairying does not have a strong foothold. There are several margins of error in which creamery operators may, inten tionally or unintentionally, deceive their patrons. One is in innccurnte weights. Another abuse, more prevalent perhaps, is the erroneous tent. Not understand ing the tent of cream— as he tQO often does not—the farmer would assume that eream is tested t ie same ns milk. Cream should not be tneaeiired the same as milk, but, rather, should be weighed out on a delicate balance so that the exact amount of cream will be in the test bot tie.
