The number of milk cows in North Carolina has dropped during the past ' 12 months from an estimated 279,001 1 o .’!il.‘i.iiiio- -or about four per cent, says ■Carl Scott, statistician, with the State Department of Agriculture. The decline is not local in charac ter. for in the nation there are ap proximately 4..‘> per cent fewer cows than at this time a year. ago. Only' two previous major downturns in milk cow numbers have occurred, since TKO7, according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economies, These reductions followed the peaks of 1925 and 1924. Each time, numbers declined for four years and then increased for six years. Scott attributed the reduction in this State to the uncertain feed sit uation and to the fact that farmers are culling out low-quality animals j and concentrating on relatively heavy ; feeding for the good cows. In many instances, dairy farmers | are obtaining the same figure of pro-‘ duct ion with fewer cows—and, con- j sequently, with less labor. He found there was a decline in j cow numbers in North Carolina from j 19:54 to 1928, with an increase until 1944. when the present reduction be-1 gan. I However, the average North Caro- * lina cow produced only 282 pounds l of milk in August of last year as against 8911 pounds for the same I month this season. This is attri buted to better attention to fewer | animals, improved pasture Conditions, | j and somewhat better feed. Murriel Byrum Now Home After Discharge i Murriel Byrum, son of Mr. and j Mrs. Graham Byrum, returned home [Sunday night after being honorably [discharged from the U. S. Army. Young Byrum served 18 months over ! seas, most of which time was spent in Austria and Germany.

Dan F. Holler of State College, j Extension cotton marketing special ist. says that farmers in oue-vhiMety sections, whose cotton is graded at the Government classing office in j Raleigh under the terms of the Smith-Doxey Act, should by all means wait for the “green" card be fore they market any of their cot- ■ ton. The card will be returned by the classing office in a few days, and . it will carry information as to the | length of the staple, grade of the cotton, and also its loan value. I ! Because of the large differences .in price between grades, Holler sug gests that farmers pick their cotton, only when dry, just as free of trash as possible, and before weather dam age has occurred in the field. He also calls attention to the need for getting the cotton in the best pos sible condition before it is carried to [the gin. About one bale in every ' I five that was ginned in North Caro, 'lina last year was damaged because of rough preparation and this cost the fanners many hundreds of thous-• j atids of dollars loss. And here’s another suggestion from Holler: "Don't ask the ginner (to speed up his operations and gin your cotton closely. You may think that you will gain a few pounds of! cotton, but facts show that you will j lose several times as much as you 1 j gain. The extra two or three pounds ! jof shortfibred cotton brings down j the value of the entire bale.” j Town Council Proceedings i Fdenton. N.
