RONDOLPH FARMERS TURN 10 QAIRYIH6 Randolph Has Set Oat To Be Treading County In Dairy Products MANY PUREBRED CATTLE Ashboro. Nov.. 26 ? Randolph' .;oon ty. farmers aren't worrying much ever the low price of cotton, for . cott:n is by no mean* the major ; farm crcp in this county. Corf and wheat prices are .cause for most 1' worry. And the price of corn and. small train crops is always of con cern to -Rand :lph county farmers. J\isr ? How these prices, are npt, by any means satisfactory, and the 'Randolph farmer is in ;ho better' shnpe than his brother cotton farmers of the counties : in the eastern pftrt of the state. However, better days are uawning f r tlx|rtdoVph farmers.- The walls , | of the new creamery arc airiiost com j pleted and when the building ii done] . it Will be equipped with most mod* tin machinery. This wil afford t-fel ; farmers, of Randolph an opportunity j to sell their surplus dairy products j at heme. It will mean a ? regular ! monthly pay envelope for hundreds of Randolph farmers -who have in the j past depended on corn- and wheat j and a little On cotton. In pre.para- ! . tion for the creamery, hundreds of j Randolph farmers have bought grfiide | j and purebred cattle. "j Another industry which promises. ' to help put ^Randolph farmers on ai ; bar^ of, financial stability is the j poultry industry. These tillers of] ..the >oil in Ranti.lph are becoming to be not too proud to "mess with chickens" and those who are gett;:i? | away from the idea that, chickens are! just something. yith: whfchi the farm < woman may spend some of her time are reaping thv benefits of their f>te? ' sight. Randolph has set out- to be oni of ; the leacrintr counties, in <Uiiry pr d- ! ;;ifc'h and poultry industry.- Tin- 'x- i tive-bonis of 'the * county- do /not 'j change -thjeir methods of '.farming' J l ovi*r nig ft, but experiment and take the change by stages. . That is what is happening in the farming industry in Randolph. Consider the Drivers Be thoughtful of. your gr : ceiv ami ? their dHvers.
