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

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
