Based on the average pro duction of milk cows now in the county and the amount ox milk that should be consumed by the average person in the lorm of milk, butter, cheese, etc., the 21,000 people of Stokes county should consume the en tire production of 5996 milk cows. As we now have only 3418 milk cows, it will take 2578 additional cows to supply our home needs for milk and milk products. These figures are rather surprising in view oi the' fact that practically all the population of Stokes county is rural. Whether tobacco prices remain high or low, the farm ers of Stokes county should provide their families with suf ficient milk and butter. It would be a serious mistake for our farmers to add this nunib t-r of cows on the farms with out making ample provision for feeding them. I Statistics show that in 1928: we produced 499514 bushels of j corn. As we were short on j hogs and cattle, th.s was a I slight surplus of actual needs j within the county. However, j if we should increase our mil!:; cows to just supply the needs I of the county, these 2578 cows should be provided with :»8670 bushels of corn, 5156 tons of hay and 25780 bushels of oats. This would require a slight in crease in the production of corn. In 1928 Stokes county produced only 95 per cent of the hay consumed within the county. We should not only make up for the deficiency, but also produce hay enough to feed the increased cows that are needed. The oats produc tion in 1928 was only 19 per cent of the needs of the coun ty. It seems that we might in- creas* our production of oats to more nearly meet our needs. Other Statistics. In 1928 Stokes county pro duced only 54 per cent of its pork and lard, 2 per cent of the lamb and mutton needed for home consumption, and 29 per cent of the beef and veal. If Stokes county would under take to increase all thr-se tynes of livestock to the exjtent of supplying all that could be consumed within the county, it would require a still further in crease in the production of hay, corn, oats, and pasture. Ac cording to the figures before me. Stokes county in 1928 pro duced, a 10 per cent surplus of corn, a 24 per cent surplus of wheat, a surplus of 129 per cent of Irish potatoes, of poul try and eggs a 20 per cent sur plus, and a surplus of 9026 per cent of tobacco. The income from the excess production oi these crops had t.o supply tlv deficiencies in other crops and pay all other expenses, before Danbury, N. C., Nov. 20,1929. SCHOOL TAX IS DEFEATED ! Cit'zens of Meadows, Saura town and Yadkin Townships Fail To Vote 25c. Special Ta\ and Consolidate Districts . In the election held Tuesday if this week in Meadows, Yad kin and Sauratown townships, in which the citizens of those townships voted on the ques tion of having levied upon them i tax of 25 cents on the hund red dollars valuation of proper ty to supplement the regular school funu and give them eighi months schools, the vote show ed an overwhelming majority against the proposition. At >ne or more precincts the meas ure was defeated about .*5O to 1. At Mizpah, for instance, the! i*ote was G5 against and 2 In | favor of the measure. King | and other precincts did about the same thing, while a few of them voted in favor of the mea sure. In each of these townships there are now special school tax (districts and the citizens ar* paying 25 and 30 cents on the $lOO valuation io supplement the regular school tax, so it was not the tax the cit'fcens objected to, but the trouble seemed to be a lack of under standing of the provisions of the proposed change.

A DEER HUNT \ ' ONSLOW VJNTY Davis Tuttle. Walnut Cove Man. Kills Large liuck—Enjoyed Some Exciting Races. Deer hunting is great yport.! according to the story related | by Dave Tuttle, of Walnut ■ Cove, who recently returned ] l'rom a week's stay at the Davis, i Hunting Club in Onslow coun-; 1 ty, down near the North Caro- 1 lina coast. Mr. Tuttle had the! I extreme pleasure of killing •*!; large buck deer while away and! needless to say he is very en thusiastic about everything in general down east. On the trip Mr. Tuttle was accompanied by Charlie Burge, Gains Garland and Brock Gib- J son, of High Point, the latter ! being a noted baseball player, j They left on Sunday, Nov. 10,! i and after hard day's drive arrived at Paradise Point, in the swampy county of Onslow, which is only an hour's drive to the sea coast. Here a Mr. Davis conducts a hunting lodge for the amusement of those who like the chase, and in his private preserve he has be tween three and four thousand acres of land covered with a growth about head high, the j low spots being rather sniampv I but with little elevations all about that are perfectly dry. There are a number of small lakes on the preserve. The morning after the party arrived Mr. Davis brought out I a bunch of his deer hounds and after riding about four miles , out into the swamps the dogs I were released and the hunters, who were paying $-1.00 per day for the privilege, were placed upon "stands," where the deer were supposed to pass when j jumped from the brush by the; dogs. Mr. Tuttle was getting rather chilled and nervous! when he at last heard the hounds coming. Realizing that a deer was in front of them he started a close vigil and was soon rewarded when a large buck was seen about 100 yards away jumping over the top of the brush at each bound. Mr. Tuttle soon brought his «*JB Winchester rifle into action and got several shots at the buck as he sprang over the brush, but was unable to tell whether he made a hit or not until after he had run out to the lake in the direction the deer went. As he approached the water he saw the deer climbing out on the other side, apparently wounded. After another shot or two the animal fell over and died just as the hunter had finished wading across to the other side. Aii examination revealed the fact that the deer had been hit three times, one ball almoi severing one of its rear legs, and two others penetrating the body. The dogs were already on the scene and had taken hold of the deer when Mr. Tuttie No. 3.001 WALNUT COVE MAN PASSES Jno. ('. Bailey. One Of County's lies! Citizens.
