Mountain cheese making spurs NC industry growth
The North Carolina mountain cheese industry, started three years ago in Walnut Grove, Watauga County, expands with 1917 output near 150000 dollars and Wisconsin prices plus freight. State agents promote it, noting favorable climate, and farms profit by selling milk at 19 to 22 cents a gallon while whey feeds hogs. A rail link remains elusive, hindering markets in Charlotte and beyond, prompting calls for state railroad aid and stronger local promotion.
