Neat Profit Coming In From Small Herd Of Cows, Which He Keeps On His, Farm County Agent J. E. Dodson, often comments on not enough! Brunswick farmers raising cattle. I It is his theory that every farmj home should have a good milk ? cow or two. also that it would i be profitable to pay some at-! tention to beef. W. Claude Gore, good farmer of the Shallotte section, is begin ning to see things the same way. Instead of just a cow or two, he Is starting to build up a nice little herd of eight cows, four of them milkers. He is planning to increase. He stated this week he had been selling about $50.00 worth of milk per month. This all comes in as clear profit, as his family uses enough to pay for the little work done. The cows are on ten acres of permanent pasture and Mr. Gore is fixing to I put in 20 acres more. What feed he has to Use is all grown right) there on his own farm. In addition to the profit from J the sale of products from his cows, Mr. Gore sees another J source of benefit. He is building 1 up his land from putting it in pasture and from the stable man ure obtained from the cows. He said: "We farmers here in Bruns wick do not produce enough beef' or milk. We can produce both I easily and cheaply with perman-| ent pastures."

At this meeting a veter jans club was organized. The oth I er feature was the livestock show held at the Guilford County farm.

WELFARE DEPT RT7TH E. PATTERSON' ' ..Superintendent Public Welfare.. I One group of people to whom your Welfare Department gives both financial help and special services is the blind. We work i very closely with the State Com-| I mission for ' the Blind in their administration of the Federal aid ) to the needy blind program. We also help them In their eye clinics !fo_r the visually handicapped and in their rehabilitation program. | ] The Commission for the Blind employs special case workers who are themselves blind or j seriously handicapped by poor eyesight. These case workers have the same training as the regular workers in County Wei-, fare Departments over the state. In addition, they have special training in how to teach handi crafts and Braille. Many times1 these special case workers have to work as much with the fami j lies of blind people as with the j blind people themselves. Families, as well as blind people, must learn that tne blind can become quite independent around their own homes and many times can even go into business for them selves. We asked our own special worker for the blind, Miss Mary Lovett, to tell us just what she ,does for the people of Brunswick j county?both financially and otherwise. TTiis is her list as she told us: 1. To determine eligibility for aid to the needy blind grants and present these cases to the county commissioners. 2. To help families as well as j blind persons adjust to the fact of blindness. 3. To help the blind to learn how to live a normal life of help ing around the home and farm. 4. To teach blind people such handicrafts as sewing, weaving, j chair caning, leather work, etc. 5. To tyelp arrange eye clinics and other health services, either to the group or to the indivi- ? duals. 6. To help in budgeting income and expenditures, and in finding new sources of income. 7. To help blind children make arrangements to go to the state schools for the blind. Blind people, like all the rest of us, hate to sit with folded hands and idle minds. Whether they need any money or not they need the satisfactions * which come from doing things for one's self. Your County Welfare Department is the place where the blind people of this com munity can learn to be the inde pendent individuals they have a right to be.
