J a graduate cf Murphy higl school. Considerable interest is be in? manifested among the farmers of this section in the forthcoming purebred Guernsey Cattle Sale to be held in Murphy May 18. The cattle have been selected from among the best breeding es tablishments in the State. Os borne Farm at Canton will send two animals; Clear Springs Farm at Concord will send two; Bel mont View Farm at Franklin will send five; Fanning Fields at Arden will send two; Skytorook Farm at Hendersonville is con signing two; Arden Farm at Clemmons will send two nice ani mals and Notla Farms at Cul berson will send five. Besides these great breeding establish ments. farmers in Henderson, Buncombe, and other counties are sending some of their best ani mals. A consignment of special inter est will te the six fine animals from Riegeldale Farm, one of the most outstanding Guernsey breed ing farms in the Nation, which is located at Trion. Georgia. The milk producers in this milk shed are beginning to ap preciate the value of the dairy in dustry. it is observed. They are realizing the advantages this phase of agriculture has over the many others. They also believe that to take full advantage of this opportunity and to make the milk shed contribute the maximum to ward the economic development best bred high producing dairy of the area, they must get the cattle that can be had. It is hoped that many of the good dairy cattle that will be sold In the Murphy sale will remain with the farmer bleeders in the Mur phy area.

This increase is due | in part to the seasonal condition; however, much interest has been shown by farmers and 4-H Club members at meetings held in every community of Cherokee County the past few weeks when "Dairy ing as an Industry" was discussed by J. D. Elrod. Manager of the local receiving plant for Southern Dairies and the Farm and Home 1 Agents. "We feci that there is more than a normal supply of milk coming through the plant as a result of this work". Mr. Elrod said. Considerable interest is being manifested in the building of the ' small dairy barns. Southern Dairies under the supervision of Mr. Elrod has had a set of forms built to loan to the farmers 'o pour the foundation for these barns. These forms will save each fanner considerable time and money. Along with t lie interest 'hat has been created for better dairy cat tle. educational work will enable them to have more of tlietr cattle freshening in the fall and winter months since milk is always scarce at that time. Many pro ducers have been caught short financially at that season because they have bred their cattle to all freshen in the spring. Their cattle are dry. therefore, at a time when their expenses are at a peak and their income down. Several fine dairy bulls from high producing stock have been ! place
