Growling enrollment, creamery operations that produced butter in demand as far away as New York and Chicago, [1] and the successful graduation convinced Board of Agriculture members, teachers, students and community members that the school’s continued operation was worth working for. The Board President supported expanded creamery operations, and newly-appointed Cameron head Ralph Robertson oversaw installation of a new 500 gallon churn capable of producing 800 pounds of cream per month. State funds enabled purchase of a three-ton-capacity creamery refrigerator, state-of-the-art technology in 1912. [2]
