GOV. O. MAX GARDNER
Gardner Pleads for More Potatoes
And Dairy Products in the State
(Continued from page one)
declared that the number of dairy
cows which can be profitably man
apod by each farmer is limited only
tjy his available pasturage.
Farm dairying, according to Gov
ernor Gardner, offers the best chance
of any industry of permanently in
creasing the income of the country
people of northwestern North Caro
lina. "in farm dairying," he told his
audience, "you are developing a
phase of agriculture peculiarly suited
to your section and your climate."
N'orth Carolina farmers ? both
land-owning and tenant farmers ?
have not realized the monetary or the
health returns to be got from keeping
dairy cows on a small scale by every
?farmer. With only 275,000 to 300,
000 milk tows, this state has approx
imately only one cow for every ten
people. It has but one cow per far
mer. Not only do we have too few
cows per person ; we have the further
handicap of a very uneven distribu
tion of milk cows in different sections
of the state. Most of the mountain
section has approximately one milk
cow for each five persons. The
Coastal Plain and Tidewater sections
of. the estate on the other hand have
only one cow for each 25 persons.
Alleghany county is best supplied
with milk cows, having one for each
2. !) persons. Ashe and Watauga
each have one cow for every four
persons, and Wilkes one cow for ev
ery 5.5 persons. Some of the far
eastern counties on the other hand

"The mountain farmers today are
assured of receiving the fair market
price for their products," declared
the governor, because, thanks to our
educational development, newspapers
and radios, every farmer in every
mountain cove knows what the mark
et price of his product is. The time
maybe was," he declared, "when you
did not get a fair market price for
our products because you didn't
know what a fair market price was,
but 'them days are gone forever'."
"Improved production, supple
mented by better and more practical
marketing," the governor said, "will
solve the problem. We must wel
come progress and adapt ourselves to
change in order to earn better in
comes."
"We have the social inheritance
of a stubborn individualism, but we
are learning ? grudgingly perhaps ?
that in agriculture and in industry
as well as in living, good feeling and
cooperation are the golden keys
which unlock the doors of prosperity
and happiness and culture."
