"WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA 6TREAT DAIRYING SECTION Expert Says This Region Has Natural Advantages For Development of Milk Products Industry; In Many Points Not Equalled by Denmark or Western States. After several years experience in the dairying, industry in Denmark and in the states of Iowjj, Minnesota and Wisconsin, Hans Brdby,, super intendent, orthe Carolina Creamery of this city, believes that western Korth Carolina has advantages for the pro eduction of milk, butter rand cheese .that none of those great ; dairying ' - countries possess. ' ' In an interesting discttssion otjthe. possibilities of - this region with reference " to - thelseprb: ducta Mr. Broby stated yesterday that this section'- now - stands rhere ; the west was 25; or . . more years ago in the dairying! business',: ' arid In - his opinion the next few years will ? wit ness a great, development of dairying among the farmers of "western Caro lina, ; ,' --: : Enumerating the advantages of the mountain counties of this atate ; with respect to this enterprise the young Dane, trained to know his business in the excellent "eovernment schools of his native land, mentioned an abun. dant supply of cold, pure, water, a long pasture season " and cool nights. Add ing to these qualifications the dairy man mentioned a soil .capable of pror ducing abundantly a well balanced "ra tion, and close proximity to the source of cotton seed products "-f Or food.- Farmers Interested. , - ; ; ; Mr. Broby said that in the short time he had been in this section ; he had found that the, farmers are inter ested - in learning better ' methods of dairying and in the breeding of types of cattle that will produce butter fat instead of meat He pointed out that there is as much difference hetween beef cattle and dairy f cattle , as be tween . a race horse ahd a draught horse, The good' dairy cow, "said Mr Broby, is a machine, for producing butter fat; - in' the , beef animal 'almost all of the food energy is converted into meat. , - s y t - ;. Speaking of conditions' in Den mark, Mr, Broby . told some interest ing facts in regard to a f country about one fifth the size of North Carolina which produces one third as much butter as the ' entire amount annually made in the United States. ' Denmark buys corn and cotton seedmeal: frdm this country to. feed its cows and ships butter to the United States and Tirant io.PLl 1 v - aronnd Ithe v world.' i It i is hard to find a European city where eggs, butter, bacon ; and, poultry, from ' Denmark are not ' found' pri ' the - break . fast tables. With, one 'pow for every two acres, it is possible " for the ; Dane to raise all the food necessary: h: and yet that country, each year 'ex- ports $100,000,000 ' worth "of dairy products. While she is piling up that balance of trade in her . favor North ' Carolina is importing about the sam amount in food and feed products.; Working in Eaniest. -Mr. Broby pointed . put that his statements in regard to. .what the farmers of the . south- can do in the production of milk products is borne out by the active campaigns now be ln'g waged by the agricultural depart- - ments at Washington ' and in . the . southeastern states to encourage . the farmers to give more time, to this industry. In this section, the. dairy expert continued, ".. the state officers, Demonstrator . Weaver and the agri cultural committee of the Asheyille board of trade have ; taken up the propaganda In earnest and the farm ers are receivinc . instruction . oh sub- jects ranging from7 the advantages Pf silage for winter feeding to tne im portance of keeDink money . at homo that goes west for the actual, necessi- ties-or lire.. . , ;.5.vv - :. . .
