' John A. Arey, Extension dairy specialist of N. C. State College, says that the coWs on North Caro lina farms will help make up this shortage if they are given better care this winter. "Comfortable quarters for the dairy herd will pay off at the milk pail," he de clared. The livestock leader says that no manner of good feeding can make up for the lack of proper housing and care of the dairy herd in winter. Cows that are allowed to stand ir muddy yards on cold rainy days will not produce well regardless of how ample the feed may be. "It is a poor practice," says Arey, "to house the dairy herd in buildings that have so many cracks and openings that the cold wind comes in without resistance. It re quires much of the feed consumed to keep cows warm under such conditions. The feed used for fuel cannot be used tof produce milk. In addition to warm housing, an abundance of absorbent bedding will add materially to the comfort and cleanliness of the cows." The Extension worker also urg ed that dairy cows be grazed on small grain in (Winter.

For this is one of those rare pictures which must not be missed by grown-ups or ; children, filled with laughing humor and a happy philosophy which turns adversi ties into blessings. Paramount has here produced a masterpiece out of alice Hegan Rice's immortal tale. "Moscow Strikes Back" is a graphic picture of Nazi fright ful ness in Russia with biting and vivid commentary spoken by Ed win G.Robinson. Pilled with the horror of- real scenes, perhaps this strong medicine in what some need to realize what this country has so far escaped. The picture is rated '"Good" by reviewers.

In addition, it is profitable to set aside a part of some of these crops for com plete grazing." Arey also emphasized the feed ing of an abundance of hay and silagjt. "We usually find, other con ditions being equal, that the best level of milk production is in those herds where the cows have free access to racks kept well filled with hay," he stated. Blue Ridge Breezes By A. Mountaineer Highlands, N. C In this wonder land of lofty mountains, musical streams, and cozy valleys, one finds the descendants of a race of rugged, strong-hearted, hospitable folk, who were unsurpassed in these qualities by any other race of people in the whole world. And it is most gratifying to observe that this younger generation has richly inherited these attributes, insomuch that even the children in many instances show the same pluck and determination which characterized the hardy poineers and first blazed the trails into this rock-ribbed wilderness. Uncle Josh says: "Hit's becaze these mountain folks lives so close to nater. They'uns air ambishus becaze they've alius had to look up an climb. Soft livin ain't never bothered 'em none. Being a fer piece from the outside world the ole timers learned to depend on therselves, an to he'p one another. YaHer Jackets don't stick ' tighter no samer than mountain folks in time of need or trouble. An they'uns wuz that tickled to see strangers from outside that they'd do ther best to make 'em feel at home. Hard livin an all that goes into hit makes some of our moun tain fellars act sometimes like they's hard-boiled; but in most cases the men and wimen too air soft-natered an gentle-hearted like the April showers that start the grass to growing and the buds to swellin in the spriflg-o-the-year." A most interesting modern ver sion of the foregoing is exempli fied in the lives of forest ranger, John Edwards, his wife, and their two children, who will be at home from now until next June in the one-roomed look-out station main tained by the U. S. forestry serv ice on top of Mt. Satukah. At an elevation of 4,550 feet, these young folk will live the high est, literally speaking, of any of t their neighbors. And it is a privi lege to note that their ideals of living are correspondingly high and noble. "Moreover, one could not find in a mansion a finer spirit of genuine friendliness and hospitality 'than that which pr evades the at mosphere in and around this tiny abode up there on top of the world The children, John Benjamin, age six, and Virginia Dale, age four. are clear-eyed, healthy specimens like their parents. Happy them, to breathe the clean, crisp air of such an altitude, and to Hash in the un-filtered sunshine, whose morning says visit first the mountain-tops, and whose evening rays linger to kiss the peaks good-bye after the lower slopes have been wrapped in twilight, and the val leys covered with the mantle of night.
