INTERIOR OF NEW MILKING PARLOR First Pipe Line Milking System Installed In Cty. Grantde D. Nix, a dairy farmer who lives on Hanging Dog Road. ha just complete a new milking parlor and Installed the first pipe line milk ing system in Cherokee County. By the use of this system, tha milk ts piped directly from the cow to the bulk milk tank where the milk Is Cooled very rapidly. At milking time, Mir. Nix pushes a lever and pulls a cord and in walks -three oews which go into three stalls. Mr. Nix feeds the cows, carefully washes their udders, and puts on the milkers. And almost like magic, the milk s'.urts flowing thur the glass pipe into the bulk milk tank. As soon as these cows are milked, Mr. Nix pushes a lever, pulls a cord and .the cows leave, going hack to main barn to eat silage and hay. This process is repeated until all of his cows are milked. .The cows are milked on a floor which is 30 inches higher than the work way so that Mr. Nix does not have to bend over to wash the cows or put on th'e milkers. After all the cows are milked. Hie mttking machines and all of the pipe lines are automatically washed to rrake them hospital clean. This is different from the way Mr. Nix had been milking and hand ling his milk. Up until a short time ago. Mr. Nix milked his cows in an old building where the cows were bekl (with stanchions. The cows were milked with an old milking machine into a pail. The pail of milk vat carried from the milking room through a shed to another room where the milk was strained into 10 gallon cans. When the cans were filled, they .were lifted info coolrs. Last summer when Mir. Nix learn ed that he and other dairymen in this area would be required to change from can coolers to bulk milk tanks, he realized he had eer ioub problems: the building was to? small to hold the bulk tank needed: the building might not pass the Health Department require ments; his old milking machine was about worn out; he figured the bulk tank truck would not be able to get to the mlHdng burn; he figur ed he would have to get addition*! cows to tv?lp pay for the bulk milk tank and a new barn; and he needed additional pasture land for the cows. John Smith, fhe Work Unit Con ?ervatton'st of the Soil Conserva tion Service, was helping him plan his farm la produce <he maximum amount of pasture and feed, and keep his fe.m in good contiticnal e.l the same time. The lccal bank helped him buy some additional land. Paul Nave, the County Fsrir. Agricultural Agent, furnished him plani for a new milking barn. But the help frrm all these agencies was not enough. Mr. Nix apiplid to ttie Farmers Heme AdmlnllTt ration for heip. I?cbe*1 D. Bruce, County Supervi sor for the Farmers Home Adminis tration, wo-ked with Mr. Nix to hedp determine what he should do and to help finance the needed new bw'J-V.ng and eqi/pment. They visited two dairy farms in Macon County to see first hand how the new walk thru milking parlors and pipe line milking system worked Alter talking to these dairymen, Mr. Nix knew he needed -and wanted a new parlor and a pipe line milk ing system. After carefully consider in" costs and returns, they drew up the plans and specifications, estimated the costs, and went to work. The Farmers Home Admin istration made a loan to build the new btvlding. purchase the new equipment, and new cows and dig a trench silo. M!r. Nix hired some extra help and built the new build ing and had the new equipment installed. The new barn and eqrfc>ment enable Mr. Nix to milk easier and o.uicker and produce a better product. More and higher producing caws will pay for the new building and equipment. Already a number of perpV have visited the new par lor and Mr. Nix enjoys showing oti the new system. To Attend Meeting J. Franklin Smith will attend the "University of Tenawe Dewey Centaninal Nov. 19. at itfrie Univers ity Center, Knoxville, Tenn. The speaker for the event will be Dr. H.

Golf mound Soil Conservation NEWS By JOHN IHITI Corn harvest is still going on as last aj weather will permit on the Wood farm at Andrews. Wh:n I past there early last week, I saw a tra '. r load of shelled corn being hauled in'o the area where several s'.orage bins were recently eon struc'.xi to hold the corn until it is sold or used. The corn rocker being used by Sam Ward and Joe Maxwell to harvest Itvir corn fe a wonder Jn itself. This machine pulls the ear. shucks H, shells the grain ?from the cob, cleans the stalled grain of aH trash, and loads the grain Into a bin Tight on the picker. When the bin is full, the grain is loaded by gravity through a shute Into a trailer. Wh.Ti the trailer is filled, it is pulled to the storage bins. IHere 'he grain is power-load ed from the trailer into tlv .storage bin. With as lairge an acreage of corn as was planted on the Wood farm by Ward and Maxwell, it would te virtually impossible to harvest all of the corn using entirety hand labor. It would have taken many more laborers than are available on the farm or nearby to pull, chuck, shell and sack the corn. Much of the corn would have be??n weather-damaged in the field before it could have be.^n harvested. On another farm in the county last week. 1 saw a field of com that was planted cm good land, was property fertilized, and everything else had been done according to the latest farming methods. Still tlv harvest from this field will be very light. The same field last year produced a bumper crop. The farm er said he could not explain the Top failure unless it was caused by extremely hot and very dry weather during the entire period when the corn was tasrHing. This fa lure of a crop even though every thing was done to insure success !*njws that it is not entirely within nran's capability to produce a successful crop. 1 College President Speaks To RotarV Club Members Dr. Charles Clegg, president of Young Harris College, spoke to the members of the Murphy Rotary Club Monday night at a meeting.

Sometime* I think that I do not appreciate the finer things In U'.:. Then there are time* wtoen I em com meed of this h>yand a ?fcrdmr of a doubt Such waa the roe ?hUe I was In Japan during this laiat summer when I suffered through several acts of kabuki drama. Kabuki Is synonymous with Japan rnd Is very popular anion : tt.' Jap ense people. This type of acting dates back to Ihe days before before Columbus even discovered that he eoulu go west by sailng east. Our guide, who acccmpained us to theater, confess, d that even Japan ce have trouble understanding what !i gcing on in t6e plays. She said th>'f all of Hie plays we .' written maybe ?s much as 500 years ago - ad that ancieu Japanese language today. There are no women In kafruki plays. J*. n take the feminine rok-s. New i tj'n may sound like an hilari ous college ?'ut>I night but ' alas, net so. These men are trpinH from tfrby-bottl In the characteristics of women. They ha'v lived the part by day all IhWr lives and It is srid that they are far more graceful and heatuiful than women. Belie1."1 it or not, itbts kabuki busin ess gave me the feeling that I was at a football game. For behold, people in ttv> audience pot so carr ied 8-A'jy that they acually thoirtei out, ??'"ht in the midst of the dinl-^g U". Whit they were really doing Wgi c', ^rin^ on the actcrs. When f social termite appeared on s'??e. pe-r<le would call out his "ni"k nsmc." Our guide toM us that not everyone can yell out because tivre are enlv certain times in the play when !his is proper. New another interesting high light cf Japanese is the ever famous geisha girl. The geisha is "omf''v'n<( completely foreign to us and *15 not comparable to any thing we ha<v> in the Stites. We r-e also guilty of having the wron? Wea ab"ut these charming bf-si*Vs Thev r-e artists and entertair.-r.? in the strictest sen-e of the word. In fact, the word geisha ir.^ans artist. These girls are trained in their profession from about age ten. They Varn dancing, sinein?. music. oHauette, games ond other accom plishments. When they reach thei middV twenties or so. they either mprry or ta*.> over the training of youns "gctshas. The gej tab* girl's primary pur ix?2 la ito entertain the tired ml buy business man. They r.? alar hired out to. entertain at parties or large gatherings. The geisha a JnA^ed an expensive ecm-iMdty. Her fee is based on her be atuy. She wears exensive kimonis. lie |-?ir is worn piled high on her heat1 and is decorated with a variety ci oraiamenis. I VI ' we o fortunate enough to visi' e geisha parly. Three young girl's were there for our enjoyment. Th?y were lovely anj looked to be about 10, at the most First they did a dance while the mother gedsha played seme sort of vanjo. Next they iiad us play mus l"a'. curb'jccu (same thin? as mu: - a! that's only they ware f.'esh out of cha:rs> with them. And las: but surely not least ?ihcy taught us a dance. This dance wasn't like anything I ever saw 'before ... but it was a dame. It eeems to me that supposedly we shoveled u? something and ti.?n threw it over our shoulders. Then yn take t'iree steps backward, and three- step? forward. Then w.? re peat the whole thing until the dance is como'eted. Al! of tl-3 iren seemed to be a little t'.'sappoinad 1:1 our geisha party ar.d when we played the musi cal cushions, that was the last straw. Parties Honor Mrs. W. M.
