There 'have been eight days when the mercury went above 90, with August 31 the 'hottest day of the month, with a maximum 95 degrees. And the cool nights, though dry, have left no reason for complaint, with 19 August nights having read ings below 60 degrees. The coldest night was the night of August 27. when 50 degrees was the low.

Milk Per Cow Is Main Pay-Off Local Dairyman States "Mare milk per oow is what real-. ly pay off in the dairy business," according to Lee Williams, who op erates a small farm near Marble. Williams' views on dairying this week are being coi-ied by weekly newspapers ail over North Caro lina through releases from the N. C. State College Extension Service. Williams firmly believes "it takes just as much feed to main tain a 1,000 pound low- producing cow as a 1,000 pound high pro ducer." And he's trying to select 'his foundation Stock from the high producers. G. H. Farley, county agent for the N. C. State College Agricultur al Extension Service, said Wil liams' small farm nestles in a warm valley between two tree-cov ered mountains. The previous own er had been unarble to make enou gh money on the place to pay the taxes. But with the assistance of the Farmers Home Administration, Williams has transformed the val ley and hillsides into an area of iush, green Ladino clover and grass. Williams started producing Grade A milk for sale commerical ly four years ago. He only bad two cows. Now he has a herd of nine high .producing purebreds and grades. All along he has emphasized |ihlgh production in building his herd, says County Agent Farley. | Two of his cows have been milking around eight gallons each per day. At present milk prices, Williams figures each of these cows are bringing in more than $100 per month ofter the haul bill is paid. Williams is continuing his herd improvement work. By taking ad vantage of the proven sires of the artificial breeding program, he fig ures be will "get the farthest in the shortest time." "If you happen to be around here in the next few years you will really see something," said Wil liams, pointing to his fine heifer calves.
