Mullican Mentioned
For Commissioner
N. S. Mullican of Meadows
township. Stokes county, is men
tioned for highway commissione:-
l of this district to succeed Hoey
j appointed Hackett. As Stokes
has never enjoyed a fair deal in
the highway system, having been
at all times a red-headed step
| child standing out in the cold,
Mullican's appointment would
i
doubtless assure this county of at !
least a l ecognition among the
counties that have fared sump
tuously. Governor Hoey, who at
all times was concerned primarliy
about his political fences, and
forgot, those who had contributed
to "him their "best" for those'
; '
whom he considered the most
;
"potential," now gives way to a
greater Governor—a man far-see- i
ing, broad-sided and all-consid
erate, from whose policies the
State should profit. Let us hope /
that Governor Broughton will
: recognize Stokes in his appoint-'
ments for positions of usefulness (
| for this neglected section of the j
State.

j
, Fine Set-Back Players
The Reporter receives a tele
phone message from the CCC
camp stating that R. F. Ormand
and Capt. Frank Walker have es
j l blished themselves as the
hampion set-back players, hav
ing defeated all opposition. It is
charged by the losers that Or
| mand used mental telepathy,
which enabled him and his part
ner to be consecutively victorious,
jlt is stated that the two cham
pions will seek wider fields for
their skill, not being interested
any more in the CCC and park
service playing.

Farmers having trench silos
are highly pleased with feeding 1
issults. Cows fed silage are 1
healthy, slick, smooth-haired and 
give a good quantity of milk ts ]
in the summer time. Farmer.* i
having three or more cows are
advised to see a trench silo be- t
fore all silage has been fed. Asic i
the farmer how he keeps his cows 
looking so good on half feed —sil- >
age is the answer. 1
I F. R. Farnham, dairy special- 1
ist of State College, was in Stokes ( (
county four days last wee':, j 1
Meetings were held and farms 1
I i
j visited over the county. 1
Mr. Farnham advised farmers 1
1 I
to protect their cows from the ■
cold rains, winds and bad winter '
I weather by keeping them in well '
bedded lounging sheds. He also '
advised to feed a balance feed,
1 good hay, silage and give plenty
of water to the milk cows. This
will keep them healthy and in ,
good milk production. Water Is!
the cheapest feed given a milk j
■ cow but is the most important i
I
1 since milk is 87 per cent, water, j
Some farmers water cows only'
on the land. We congratulate Mr.!
J. A. Newsom, who lives west
of Walnut Cove, now has the
most modern dairy barn in Stokes
county. He has a concrete milk-1
ing section to his new barn, hay
fork and a lounging shed for his i
cows. A manure spreader is used

once per day which is not enough.
