Dairy Calf Club Chain
vK*made possible by the North
Wlikesboro Kiwanis club and W.
K. Sturdivant. The Kiwanis club
gave 1600.00 to help buy the
heifers and Mr. Sturdivant gave
$400.00 and a guernsey heifer
worth $200.00. As soon as a
heifer calf is dropped from each
of the nine heifers, they will be
given to other club iboys. Three
of the heifers are bred and some
of the others are ready to breed.
This is. one way to promote bet
ter dairying in Wilkes county,
and at the same time add better
bred cows on the farms; there
fore, increasing milk production.
