LAKUUHA DAIRY CATTLE
Judge Spencer B. Adams of Greens
boro, N. C, Sells CloTerdale Dairy
Cattle at Public Auction
MOTWITHSTANDING the bad wea
1 ther, a large crowd attended the
sale of the Cloverdale Dairv cat
tle owned by Judge Spencer B. Adams
at Greensboro, N. X., on March 1.
The total number of animals offered
for sale was 8650 milk cows. 2 bulls
and 34 calves. Dairy equipment was
also sold, and the grand total of the
sales amounted to $8,597. Quite a bit
Of advertising had been done and
there were a number of bidders from
South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia,
and a few from other states.
There were three different breeds
of cattle sold Jersey, Holstein. and
Guernsey. The 50 milkers sold aver
aged $122 each, and this is an ex
ceedingly good average when one
considers the fact that all except six
of these were grade cows.
The 10 Holsteins sold were decid
edly the best bred cows in the lot.
and they led in price, averaging near
ly $200 each. Most of these were in
excellent condition and were heavy
milkers. -
The highest priced cow in the lot
was a Guernsey "Galaxy of Edge
wood" No. 39799 and she sold for
$230. She was a fine type of the
Guernsey breed and a heavy milker.
The 23 cows of the Guernsey breed
sold averaged $130.
Seventeen Jersey cows were of
fered. These were of a ;very poor
type on an average, as Judge Adams
had neglected the Jerseys in his herd.
Despite this, however, they brought
an average price of $78. Only one
Jersey cow was registered.
Altogether a fine lot of calves was
offered, the total number being 34
These were of different breeds all
grade animals and brought an aver
age price of $30.
Two bulls were sold, and both of
these were registered. One of the
bulls was a Guernsey, a young am
mal, and brought $130 ; and the other,
a Holstein, with considerable age,
brought $160.
There were probably about 500 peo
pie at the sale, and the number would
probably have been much greater had
not the rain "poured" all day. The
sale was conductedin a large tobacco
warehouse, however, and the crowd
suffered no inconvenience. Although
the crowd was not as large as it
would otherwise have been, those
who were present came to buy cattle,
and the bidding was rapid. On ac
count of the delay caused by bring
ing the cattle from the. farm to the
warehouse in the. rain, the sale did
not begin until 11 o'clock, yet the bid
ding was so rapid that the sale was
finished in time for people to catch
, trains leaving Greensboro at
o'clock.
With a herd of mostly grade cows-
cows, calves, bulls, and all averag
ing $99.96, who can say there is no
sale for livestock in the South? There
has never been a time in the South
when farmers were so much inter
ested in livestock. South Carolina
farmers are especially interested in
this industry at present on account
of the coming of the boll weevil, as
was shown by their large representa
tion "and quick bidding at this sale.
It's a good thing to be interested in
too. . r. T. H.

FERTILIZER" FACTS No. 38
The Corn Belt
va,' is ieacnmcr uown
South to
The biggest Corn Yields
are being made in Dixie with the aid of
Fertilizers. Nearly 50,000 Corn Club
Boys in the South are producing more ,
than 50 bushels of corn per acre with
an average application of 500 pounds
of fertilizer.
The Country's Poorest Corn Yields
are also made in Dixie "without the useN
of fertilizer. '
Uncle Sam's records show an ad
vance in average yields in the South
each year each advance tallying
closely with increased use of fertilizer.
It is a plain argument for Plant Food.
Biggest yields of corn can't be made
unless the hungry Plants are sufficiently
fed.
Dixie will establish a clear title to
be included in the Corn Belt when it
supplies its soil what it needs with
proper fertilization and practices the
best cultural methods.
