How to Secure Increased Markets for Dairy Products There ia a chance to increase our markets for dairy prod acts in this action. These additional markets "ill not come, however, until we get more cows or at least convince oat aide interests that we are preparing to keep more oows. We cannot automatically open a oondensery for milk and everyone h? prepared on that same morning to start selling We have a market 10 Greensboro for an increased amount of milk now for ice cream making. We have a rapidly growing mar ket at Burlington for all the butter tat we can produce. Increase your herds to supply these markets. Thia increase in cow Population will interest additional "jntketa, which will enable yoa to choose the market best suited to yonr condition. The prices on m.ther market will not be radically different. W. Kerr Scott, County Agent. ? PERSONAL v ? ? ? Bar. A. C. Holler is spending the day in Durham on business. Mr. W. 0.

"Cotton is the overcoat of a seed that is planted and grown in the Southern states to keep the produo er broke and the buyer crazy. The fiber varies in color and weight, and the man who can guess nearest the length of the fiber is called a cotton man by the public, a fool by the farmer, and a poor business man by his creditors. "The price of cotton is determined in New York and goes np when you have sold and down when you have bought. A buyer working for a group of mills was sent to New York to watch the cotton market and after a few days' deliberation be wired his firm to this effect: 'Some tnink it will go up and some think it will go down. I do, too. Whatever you do will be wrong, act at once! !' "Cotton is planted in the.spring, mortgaged in the summer, and left in the field in the winter. "You can and you can't; you will and you won't. Be damned if you do, and be damned if yon doo't." ?Anon. ? Hi Whitney Basket Ball Teams Win in Games With Edwin M. Holt Teams.

In the cotton, peanut and to bacco sections of North Carol iua repeated failures with- pastures have resulted because commercial seed mixtures poorly adapted' to conditions have been planted. Especially in certain sectlous of eastern Carolina has this been the case. Some of the mixtures used have contained grasses and clov ers well adapted to Piedmout Ca rolina bnt not at all suited U> the sandy and sandy loam soils of the east. ? Bat County Agent E P. Gull edge of Northampton oouuty lias found a way to overcome this dif ficulty. In 1926, he .located twelve good farmers who agreed to plaut pasture demonstrations. These ranged In area from one to 25 seres and a mixture of carpet grass, Dallis grass and leaped era clover was tried. In spite of an unfavorable season, a splendid stand of grasses and clovers was secured. In two instanees, the pastures were over-grased and it was necessary to reseed; liut, as a result of the returns secured on the other ten demonstrations, seventy-five other farmers planted pastures in this county in 1927. These pastures were recently inspected by 8. J. Kirby, pasture specialist at State Cortege, who re ports that with the exception ot too, good stands were secured. Considerable grazing has besn ob tained throughout the year and the owners are well pleased. There has been little winter-killing sud the pastures appear to be definitely established. Indications are that additional land will be seeded to pa'tores in this section this coming spring tnd the acreage will be more than doubled. With the coining, of these pastuees, the landowners are iicw thinking of increasing their livestock holdings. Interest is keen in dairying and now with pastures as a foundation, a num per of improved aires brought into the county, the outlook for live itock farming is very good in* Heed.
