Eight of the f ort purebred
shorthorn cattle sold in, Asheville
Tuesday, at the sale sponsored by
the American Shorthorn Breeder's
Association and the extension ser
vice of North Carolina State Col
lege, were bought by Haywood
breeders.
Most of the animals were sold
to Western North Carolina farm
ers, although sales were made to
farmers from South Carolina,
Maryland and Kentucky.
Most of the animals consigned
to the sale came from the herds of
leading Shorthorn breeders in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, but
some came from North Carolina
farms. In the group were cows with
calves, open and bred heifers and
bulls.
The famous 2,000-pound bull,
Utah of BrowUdale, Owned by
Wallace Ward, of Lake Junaluska,

cattle, was sold to J. M. Little, Jr.,

Campaign Extended 10
Days; Effort Will Be made
To Get Fifty Tons.
Haywood's contribution to the
nation-wide scrap rubber salvage
campaign totaled almost 37 tons
according to W. J. Campbell, after
making a check of the bulk sta
tions of the oil firms in the coun
tv. where the scrap rubber ha
been stored.
This is a little short of the
fifty tons which it was thought
Haywood" should gather"' up, but
since the President has , extended
the campaign until July 10, it is
believed that this county will reach
the 50-ton quota.
All service stations are paying
one cent a pound for tha scrap
rubber. From there it is being
hauled to the bulk plants of the
nil companies nd then shipped to
manufacturers who will reclaim
the valuable rubber.
Any item that has rubber in it
can be used in the campaign. All
worn out household items, such
as-. 'hot -water bottles, hose, over
shoes, raincoats, and even toys, are
'wanted.-.';
Mr. Campbell announced the fol
lowing amounts reported by the
oil companies in Haywood yesterday-:

Future Of Dairying Is
Bright, Says Ruffner
"The future for dairying was
never brighter," R. H. Ruffner, pro
fessor of animal husbandry at
State College told Rotarians and
about 20 Haywood Grade "A" Milk
Producers here Friday, in obser
vance of Dairy Month.

can produce. We have never had

stock after this war is going to be
great," the dairying expert said.
Prof. Ruffner was high in his
praise of Haywood County, point
ing out that there is not a more
favorable climate for man and
beast to be found anywhere.
"You can grow anything in Hay
wood, and the finest pastures in
the world are found right here in
this county," he continued.
"What dairymen must learn is
how to produce milk at a lower
cost; sell at a better price and im
prove quality."
The speaker stated that before
dairymen can accomplish that, they
must have a definite plan. Before
quality milk, comes good stock, and
they must be fed on good feed, he
said. A diversified pasture is es
sential and legumes for hay are
important. Silage feed for the
entire year, and an accurate record ,

to offer."

of life, but housewives and pros
pective producers made up the
majority of the visitors,"
"It was a success from everv an

their visit, and needless to sav.
