jCXTCNSION WORK vM|w\^3'
The Daltcn farm near King
can well boast of having some of
the finest registered Jerseys in
the state. Mr. Scales Dalton who
cares for the cattle is justly
proud of his animals. His found
ation cows come from the famed
Morrovvcroft Farm owned bv
Cameron Mcrison.
The hed sire, Ixias Brompton
Lad, goes back to the best breed
ing of Jersey Island. His great
sire sold at auction for $6,000.00.
Mr. Dalton stated that he was
anxious to have his herd fit into
the breed improvement program
for Stokes county. Occasionally
he has a male calf which he will
gladly let out to farmers of the
county.
Silage fed to dairy cows for
winter milk production cannot fce
beat, declares the Stokes farmers
who trid it last winter. SilagJ
will not only cut your feed coat
but aids in keeping your Cv-wr it;
good growing condition and in
fine health.
It is suggested that corn which
will not ear due to drought or
other causes, be cut and put in
a small inexpensive silo. The box
and trench silo may be built
qrfckly and without much cost.
Last year 13 silos were built and
filled ia the county. This year
more than a dozen new silos are
being built. A. T. S eel, J. F.

Danbury, N. C., Thursday, August 14, 1941 * **
WHEN WE ARE MUTE
God made flowers to speak for those who can
not express their love.
Somebody has written that *flowers are frozen
music. The writer might have crone further and
said —bars of congealed symphony dropped from
above.
The floral tributes at the bier of a greatly loved
Danbury woman last week were surpassingly
beautiful and profuse.
They came from afar and near from friends
whose hearts were hurt at the untimely passing
of one so useful and so needed as Mrs. Kathleen
Taylor.
The soft night descended on the grave and the
flowers, and the dew was as of the tears cf her
family and friends.
SPEARS ALL TO THE GOOD
To the debonnair dopester of the Madison Mes
senger—thank you for our bouquet in your last
issue. It was of pure orchids. Its sweet odor per
meated the room. Floating out through the win -
dow, it mingled with the magnolia and the mig
nionettes and was enfolded to the breast of the
sunflower that dreams all day long in the garden.
We promise never to call you dam Yankee any
more (as if we ever had). We appreciate the
friendliness that inspired your words. We like
you and enjoy your interesting paper. Especial
ly the "Sparks." And we read with delight the
rare and radiant "Wall Street" written by a col
umnist who has tasted the world in all its flip
pancies and follies, and found it not so bad after
ill. Now a? his footsteps go dancing down thq
sunset trail he lets fall anon gems of homemade
philosophy and horse sense. If he would only let
up on the girls. Tell him, Spears, they are a de
lusion and a snare, and to get his head of them
(too).
Remember the sad fate of Bob Reynolds.
NO, I DONT THINK YOU WOULD.
If you owned a beautiful home surrounded
by inviting grounds and useful conveniences, and
outside some highly productive acres that would
produce a living; and if at your home was a fine
family who missed you when you were gone and
whom you missed when you were gone—would
you be so crazy as to be a traveling salesman?
Well, John L. Christian of Pinnacle feels thcit
way about it. He paid us a pleasant hello this
week and among other things he said he had
been on the road more than 40 years, off and on;
that he was tired of it and thinking about emit
ting.
Now in our opinion that's a good idea that's
come into the head of this thrifty Yadkin town
ship citizen.
Another thing: John Christian is is the prime
of life and in the possession of all his faculties
but he ain't as young as he was the first time I
ever saw him when in Winston he was flirting
with a good looking young woman (who after
wards became Mrs. Christian.)
Let's stop taking life too seriously. Few of us
will get out of it alive, anyhow.
WPA Bookmobile
Will Arrive Sept 15th
The WPA Bookmobile is ex

demonstration of a county-wide
Library Service to the people.

months. This will give everybody
a chance to become familiar with
such a service and realize it 3
value.
The Bookmobile will have sched
uled routes and stops, and these
will be posted in advance so that
the people will know where the
nearet- stop will be to theem. It
will make a stop in the designat
ed place every two weeks during
its stay here.
