BEST BREEDS OF C ATTLE FOR DAIRY
Asheboro Courier.
The following article with ref
erence to various breeds of cattle
furnished this newspaper by the
teacher of Vocational Agriculture
at Farmer high school will be of
especial interest at this time:
It is desirable that the farmers of
Randolph county give more atten
tion to the production of Cream on
account of the market which we
have, or will have at the creamery
at Asheboro. So the main thing of
interest to the farmer will be dairy
breeds of cattle. Would it be best
that the county have one establish
ed breed?
As we know, cattle are usually
divided into three classes, this
classification being based on the
purpose for which they are raised.
There are dairy cattle ,beef cattle
and dual purpose cattle. The dairy
cows are for milk production and
do not produce the best quality of
meat. Beef cattle are for meat
and are low milk producers, and
dual cattle are for both purposes,
that is for milk and beef.
The class that we are interested
in is the dairy breed. The four
leading dairy breeds in the United

Might Come Handy
Guest (whose wedding gift of a
coal-scuttle has not been acknowl
edged) : I hope my little present

you get my letter? It’s perfectly

States are the Ayrshire, Guernsey,
Holstein and Jersey. Those of
minor importance are the Brown-
Swiss and Dutch Belted, which
are classed and recognized as dairy
breeds.
In several conversations I have
been asked the question, “What
should the milk test in fat from my
breed cf dairy cattle?” The milk
of the Ayrshires tests about 3.85
per cent fat. The milk of the Gur
nsey has an average test of 4.98
per cent of butter fat. The Hol
stein Friesian milk tests approx
imately 3.45 per cent fat. The ave
rage percentage of fat in Jersey
milk is 5.14 per cent.
The amount of milk produced by
the different dairy breeds is also of
interest to the farmer. The Ayr
shires are uniform milkers, ave
rage from six to seven thousand
pounds of milk. The Guernsey cow
averages about five thousand five
hundred pounds of milk yearly. We
find that Holstein-Friesian with an
average yearly production of about
eight thousand five hundred
pounds cf milk. While the Jersey
under average farm conditions pro
duce yearly five thousand five
hundred pounds of milk.
Negroes Take Blame
For Kidnaping Affair
They Sought Easy Money And
High Living By Means Os
The Kidnapping.
Chattanooga, Tenn. An urge
to travel and enjoy a life of ease
on the part of Lewis Willis, 18-
year—old negro, led him far afield
but finally landed him in the coun
ty jail back home, where he
awaits a hearing on a charge of
having kidnapped two-year-old Vir
gina Jo Frazier and collected $3,-
333 ransom.
Willis, who with his 14-year
old brother, Arthur, was arrested
last night is said to have confessed
that he stole into the home of Com
missioner Fred B. Frazier and Mrs.
Frazier during the dinner hour
March 23 and hid away until the
household had retired. Then he
crept to the crib of the child,
wrapped her in a blanket and walk
ed more than a mile to his home.
He kept her secreted in the attic
there until the following Sunday
when he collected the ransom. Ar
thur, police said, confessed that
he cared for the child while she was
hidden at his home.
Meanwhile, officers
that warrants charging Mrs. Annie
Tominson and Frank Baskett, for
mer policeman, with the kidnap
ping would be withdrawn when
they appear in city court unde;:
bonds of $4,000 each which are re
turnable on that date. The negroes’
confessions absolved ali others of
blame.
Marked bills handed by Mr. Fra
zier to a negro youth at a lonely
street intersection, and numbers
of the bills furnished business
houses in the neighborhood resulted
in the negroes’ arrest. A drug
store clerk who changed a S2O bill
for a negro identified Lewis Willis
as the one who presented it.
one hundred dqllars in currency
were found in the Willis home, offi
cers reported, in addition to several
cans of other. Physicians who ex
amined Virginia Jo after she was
found on a minister’s porch follow
ing payment of the ransom said she
had been under the influence of an
anesthetic.
On a trip to New York several
months Lewis Willis, looking
about for access to “easy money,”
hit upon the kidnaping idea, offi
cers said he confessed. A few days
after Virginia Jo was abducted
Lewis took a trip to Cincinnati,
where it is believed he spent the
$233 of the ransom that was not
recovered. He formerly was em
ployed by the Fraziers.
W. H. Hackett, chief of detec
tec tives, said Lewis’ dream of “high
living, with plenty of money to
spend on clothes and trips” caused
him to kidnap tbs child and hold
her for ransom.
THE TEETH IN TAXATION
Taxes, unless confiscatory, must
come out of annual income or net
production. The smaller the
amount left for the taxpayers’ own
use and the greater the amount
that is likely to be added to the
productive capital of the country.
The amount of capital available for
productive enterprise has a di
rect bearing on the prosperity of a
country with large undeveloped re
sources —Canadian Taxation.
