Tilson) The past lour years have witness h! an increase of $47;*), 000, 000 in the annual easli income from the sales of dairy products in the United States Dairy products lea<| all other sources ofA-asli income on our farms. Nearly three billion dollars is the annual larm value of milk and dairy products. Dairy cows account for H.iHi of every $101 payed to farm er*. F( f eve r>i $"> s|>ent by the Amer ican family for foot!- $1.00 is for dairy products. The dairy cow is the starting Jwint ol diversification. She is the mauu i8ctiir.il': plant that turns the raw jnoduct of tltc fields into cash, stab iiim; atii^ insuring the income of her owner whether crops succeed or tail or prices crash due to acrrpluseS. Wherever she has taken her right f;il place, farm prosperity has re placed the poverty that characterizes one-crop farming. The hog and hen keep her company, forming the trio that brings home grown food for family, teed for livestock, and fer tility for soil. i ' ? The Dairy Queen has cote.c South where she belongs. She will bring milk for |>coplo who have long done without this best and cheapest of fowls. Unbroken doses of good milk stni- butter is the best medicine in tie world for the ills to which an undernourished rural population falls ready prey. She will cure the one crop fanning disease that has kept the South in rags. P.. E.

'M >.k YOUNG MAX BE CAUDATE FOR PRESIDENT 1932 (By Autocaster News Service ) Prominent leaders at Washington are already promoting the president ial candidacy /or 1932 of Owen D. Youn?, the farm boy who became the world's greates compromiser by solv ing the reparations puzzle in Europe. This man, to whom the world look ed for guidance in settling the tre mendous i inancial problems growing out ct the World .War, is regarded by Senator Carter Glass of Virginia and others as the outstanding Demo crat to whom the party can turn. "He is a 'man of unquestioned abiliy and accomplishment, ' ' says the Senator. Mr. Young and Gen. Dawes took up the question in 1924, going to London without any official status.In Mr. Young's brain was born the basic i?l'*a of the so-called Dawes Plan ? called so because Gen. Dawes was presiding members of the reparations commission. Mr. Young presiding over the most recent Negotiations, with J. P. Morgan and Thomas W. Lamont as associates, cleaned up, in less than four months, the biggest and most complicated financial entangle ment in the history of the worldl. This man of the hour is the product of a New York farm, who educated himself. Born in Van Hornsville, in Herkimer county, N. Y., he worked on his father's farm as a boy, driving the cows front pasture, milking them and doing tfre morning; an<| evening chores. Later he guided a plow behind a team of horses, helped with the har vesting and dad other forms of farm "', work. When he had time, he attended school,- and later worked his waj^ through the law course at Boston** University, completing a three course in two years while earning enough for his keep by tutoring. In 1908 he was already on the path to success, though only two years out of college, an (J married Miss Josephine Sheldon Edmonds of Southbridge, Mass. Five children were born out of the marriage and four are still living. Now Mr. Young is chairman of the Board of the General Electric Com pany and Chairman of the Corporation of America. He has engaged in many public ac tivities, and won many honors the world over. Through it all his love for farm life has not abated. For Mr. Young, after moving to New York in 1913 and finding that his business often calle^ to Schenec tady, bought his father's old farm not far from the scene of his foul ness activities. He and his family live on the farm when he is able to get away from his many duties in New York and Europe. A. M. Parker went to Charleston (Bryson City) Tuesday.
