Answer: Fred M. Haig, pro
fessor of dairying, says North
Carolina is .still lagging behind
more progressive states in the
number of dairy cattle. Nearly
one-third of the state’s farms do
no' have a single dairy cow, this
being specially true of tobacco
and cotton farms. Thousands of
these farm.s. Professor Haig be
lieves. could grow sufficient feed
for five to ten cows 'without in
terfering with the production of
regular cash crops. This would
