Government Will Pay Farmers Here For Boarding Cattle of Drouth Area Farmers and landowners of Tran sylvania county who have pasturage they are not utilizing may turn these areas into cash profit by “boarding” government cattle from now until December first. Two thousand head will be shipped into the county dur ing the next month from the drouth areas of western states. Persons who wish to make their grasslands pay from 60 cents tc $1 per head per month should see W. A. Wilson, F. H. Holden, both at Bre vard, or communicate direct with T. Lenoir Gwynn at AsheviRe. The first shipment for Transyl vania, around 760 head, is being in spected and tested in St. Louis the first of the week, according to Mr. Wilson, and will arrive in the county some time during the latter part of next week. The cattle will be unloaded from the cars at Davidson River and taken to the Everett farm where they will be kept for a few days, or until they are distributed to pastur age. A later shipment will be un loaded at Rosman or Lake Toxaway and distributed in that section. The government will 'pay SI per head per month for good pasturage that is fenced. For good range pas ture lands, where rangers must be employed by the government 50 cents per head per month will be paid the land owners. North Carolina, which is more than 160.000 head of cattle below its pea! which was in lOR), has been allott* ! 75.000 head of these cattle. The fe eral government, instead of shippir. feed into the drouth at ear. as it h. done on previous occasions of this nature, purchased 2,000,000 head of cattle and is shipping them to sec tions of the country that have been blessed with sufficient rainfaj! to keep pastures in good contrition. The cattle will be shipped prepaid to distribution points. Pasture own ers should tell Mr. Wilson or Mr. Holden how many head of i aUie they want or can properly cart- for. The drouth areas of IfaoNe braska, Wyoming, Montana, Arizona and Nevada will not produce suffi cient range feed for the cattle and many have suffered. The cattle to be shipped, however, are in good condi tion and have been tested and passed by government vegetarians.
