PI PPER, FORMER R?:«T 1 DENT, CONGRATULATE * , STOKLS FARMERS FOR THEIR GOOD JUDGMENT MR. PEPPER CITES EXPERI ENCE OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VA. Dear Gene: It is with keen interest I note from the Reporter that Stokes county is going into the dairy business. We started in this, Montgom ery county, several years ago, in a small way, and now have two large milk plants. I have not figures by me, but the amount paid annually to our farmers is way in excess of a hundred thou sand dollars, and this is by no means all we are receiving. I know 0 f no better way to build up a rundown farm than through the dairy business. The land of Stokes is admira ' bly suited for the business. Alfa!- 1 fa, lespedeza, soybeans and cow peas will grow with proper atten-' ion. Farmers should start in a ; small way, and gradually in- ! crease their heads of cattle. My' i best wishes for the succesa of the enterprise. Yours sincerely, J. W. PEPPER. Christiansburg, Va., Feb. 4, 1940. J. W. Pepper was a resident ofj Stokes county 50 years ago or more. At present he is a successful' business man of Christiansburg, Va. Mr. Pepper still retains a warm interest in Stokes where he spent his early manhood.
