MOUNTAIN PASTOR GETS $5 PER YEAR Albert Hudson Serves South Mountain People as Preach er for Small Salary Albert Hudson is a natural born orator and felt a call to preach to the South Mountain people. He couldn't read and write when he felt the call to preach, but he began studying and soon overcame this handicap. Today he is serving a num ber of mountain churches and preach es a very creditable sermon. He is rather emotional in preaching among the mountain people with whom he has lived all his life, but because of his lack of an education, he is too timid to go beyond his circuit to fill appointments. Often he has been asked to preach at other churches, but he has consistently declined, pre ferring to do his work among his home people. There he is highly re spected and preaches very earnest and sincere sermons. Farming is his vocation and he is a prosperous one, too. He is married and has five or six children. One of his churches is up in Rich Mountain, situated at the corner of Burke, Cleveland and Rutherford counties. When asked what the Rich Mountain people paid him he replied "Five dollars a year," and never complained of his salary. Recently a bad man (a distiller) ran the school principal off and raised such a disturbance when Mr. Hudson was preaching at a school house where he was conducting a service, he resigned in disgust. He still has a number of places, how ever, where he preaches regularly in the South Mountain section. Cleveland Star. DOBBINSVILLE NOTES OF LATE INTEREST Dobbinsville, May 6.

OAKLAND-PONTIAC PRODUCTS OF A CE NE RAL MOTORS p GRAIN FEEDING IN SUMMER i PAY PROFITS Proof Furnished By Cow Test ing Association Figures When a twelve-year-old cow can produce $5.00 a month extra profit above the cost of feed, dairymen may be certain that summer grain feeding pays. This was shown in a recent exper iment by the Wisconsin Cow Testing Association when an old cow was fed $13.75 worth of grain over a period of four months while on summer pas ture. Her extra production over the previous summer's record was 279 pounds more milk and 10.5 pounds more butter fat per month, a total of $33.50 return on the $13.75 in vestment. She was fed eight pounds per day of the following grain mix ture: Wheat Bran 200 lbs. Ground Oats 100 lbs. Hominy 1 100 lbs Linseed Meal 100 lbs.

The prob* * lem of icing is gone! FRIGIDAIRE PRODUCT OF GENERAL MOTORS Farmers Hardware Co. Forest City, N. C. record on four cows averaged S3C.- 84 higher with a summer grain ration. The extra feed cost was only $5.24 per cow—a profit of more than $34.- 00 extra from each cow. The reason for these remarkable results, according to the Wisconsin Cow Testing Association, is the fact that 100 lbs. of grass are equiva lent to only 15 or 20 lbs. of good hay. In winter the dairyman adds silage and at least some grain to the ration but in summer he too often turns out the cows to pasture with out a thought as to whether they will get enough to eat. A good cow generally loses about 100 pounds of body weight after her first six weeks on fair pasture with no grain. Even when the pasture is r.t its best in late May or June it is ad visable to feed some grain to cows producing one pound or more of fat a day. But as soon as the grass shows signs of maturing or drying-up, it is time to start prompt ly with a high-protein feed ration for the entire herd.
