Creamery
Patrons May Lose
Patrons of
Bovina U-Town Creamery Hauling Milk to Bovina Center
Two or three years ago the up-town
co-operative Creamery leased their plant to some Greeks, who manufactured
cheese and paid big prices. Last fall
there was [a] little trouble over paying for the milk, but that was
settled. Recently there had been little
demand for cheese and payments ran behind until about 14,000 was due the
patrons. Last week the patrons withheld
their milk and it is now being hauled to the Dry Milk Company at Bovina Center. It is stated that if the cheese can be
disposed of at a good price the loss to the farmers will be light.
