DAIRY -YEWS
(By Dr. W. R. Bas?)
After studying the dairy industry
of Rasters North Carolina I find there
is not but one cow to each fifteen per
sons in fifty Eastern counties of this
State or approximately one cow to
every three families Therefore It can
be seen that to properly meet the re- j
quirementa or milk for only family
I use it will-require the milk produced
from three times the present number
of cows.
The question is often asked if we
will not soon produce an over pro,
ductlon of dairy products as we havo
done in cotton and tobacco. If you
will consider that all people ha.e to
i eat and that at nearly every meal
served there is only a email percent^
age of the nation's population that
lis producing food It will take a long
time tt ever to produce an over pro
duction, as today dairy products are
being shipped in this country from
The -present economic condition of
our farmers in this county today
makes it important that they con.
eider the dairy oow as a source ot
cosh income to help supplement the
cotton crop, as when the dairy cow
is made a part of a well regulated I
farmlug system in which feed crops
are grown on the farm she will give
a profitable return each month in the |
year on the feed consumed. There
are a few farmers in this oounty to
dav who are receiving each month
for each cow, checks for cream rang-,
ing from SiO to $16 per month ana
in add tli r to the cream check there
io left or the fjim skim milk, which
is a very valuable feed for "ihick-as
and pigs and tlic manure to? soil
enrichment
More dairy cows are needed in
Franklin county to help build and
conserve the soil fertility. The dairy
farmer is a consumer rather than
seller of feeds, which is constantly
building up his soil, on a basis of 20c
a pound for nitrogen and 6c each per
pound for potash and phosphoric acid,
soy bean hay as a fertilizer value per
ton of $13.31, cow pea hay $13.66,
corn $7.20. wheat bran $14.80 and cot.
ton seed meal $29.88. These raw ma
terials when fed to a cow can be con
verted into cream which haa a market
value per ton $316.00, and a fertilis
ing vhlue of only $3.00. It will be
noted from the above that cream has
a high market value. Its fertilizing
value is very low as compared'to that
of the feeds from which it is produc
ed.
This Is a matter that should receive
serious consideration from the tann
ers of this and other counties, who
are finding that It Is necessary to
.spend thousands of dollars annually
far commercial fertilisers.
Iowa 1OT6 Hog crop reached tfie
stupendous flgurps of two hundred
and sixty million dollars?an Income
of five million dollars a week.
Because of the spread between the
price of corn and hogs during 1916,
hoy profits reached the highest peak
ever known. Iowa farmers received
an average price (at Chicago) of
$11.95 per hundred weight for their
hogs during 1926. This means that
Iowa fanpers who sold their corn
In the form Of pork on tbo hoof re.
eel red. (at Chicago) an average of
$1.06 per bushel as against an aver
age price of 76c per bushel.
Next week letters from fanners
who are milking" cows and selling
cream will be given In this degprt
It is expected that ? car of cows
will arrive in Lonlsburg about April
1st to 6th.

'It must be recognized and con
ceded by all that Governor Angus W.
McLean has won noteworthy credit
by the General Assembly and by its
renewed expressions of reliance upon
his financial ability and his sound
judgment. In this connection it should.
also be said that he has notably re,
trained from anything savoring of an
attempt to dominate the legislature
or to dictate to it in its action. On
the other hand, his influence was
spontaneous and was born of confi
dence in his demonstrated judgment.
It is a rare compliment to alt execut
