4 DAIRY COWS NET CHEROKEE FARMER PROFIT Anderson Earns $32S From Milk Sales In 5 Months An example of what a farm er. operating on a small scale, can do with a tew dairy cows, is demonstrated by Guy Ander son, of Brasstown, Cherokee county Since August l, Mr Ander son's milk checks from four uairy cows have totaled $329.78, alter his haul bill was deducted. In addition to the milk sold off his farm, two and a hall gal lons per day was used lor home consumption. From August 1 to December 31, Mr. Anderson spent $68.75 for feed, and the rest was grown on the farm Part of this feed went to his dry cattle and calves, explains the assistant farm agent, Lemuel Goode, of the State college extension service, so the cows producing i milk didn't use this entire ! amount of teed. Mr Anderson was one of the 1 first farmers in the county to seed ladino clover on his farm. At the present time, he has seeded 21 acres of pasture and meadow to this clover. Results have been so good that Ander son plans to include it in all of nis pasture mixtures. Forty-seven states are now co-operating in a National Poul try Improvement plan to pro vide more eggs per hen, ejjgs of better quality, and superior birds for the frying pan and oven .MARKETING %-i,h 'TTfatyctie February may bo short on days, but it's certainly long on holi days . . . what with national holidays and Valentine's Day, too, all calling for celeb r: ion this month !

This Farm Success Story Laid Right Here At Home This is a farm family success story. And it happened, not in Cali fornia. or Illinois, or is&stera Carolina, but right nere in Ma con County. Back in 1938, Mr. and Mrs. James S. Gray, then living oil the Maxwell Home larm, wniv.ii they had rented, o*meu three horses, lour cows, six hogs, ana 40 chickens, valued at a total ol $640. In addition, ih^y hau coin and hay worth iBo, and estimated their household goods at $250, making total assess of $975. But they owed a note of $171, so that their net assets were $804. That was only a little more than eight years ago, but today the net worth of ths Urays is $5,299, according to Albert L. Ramsey, J HA supervisor in this county. Mr. Ramsey added that his ligure is conservative, since, in valuing the farm tne Oray^. bought in 1938, he ailoweu i nothing for increase in tha price I of farm lands. That year the Grays were ap proved for a $6,325 v ederal Se curity administration loan, wiui which to buy a farm and( build a home and other buildings. ' Since buying their farm, Franklin, Route 2, they have workeci hard, managed well, and accumulated each year. They have used "live at home" meth ods, raising as much as possible for the feed for their livestock and vegetables, meats, fruits and other things necessary for the family needs and some to sell each year. They have followed a farm-and-home plan develop ed by them and the county rep resentatives of FSA, which keeps in mind at all times crop rota tion and conservation practices to aid building a better soil, as well as better home practices for food; clothing and Household needs. The Grays were put on as demonstration farmers in 1940, and have taken advantage of all materials that were available for them and the advice of all extension supervisors. They also have taken advantage of the | AAA and received considerable aid through that program. They built a new grade A dairy barn last year and in stalled electric milking ma chines, and it is all paid for. They now have 10 purebred reg istered Guernsey cows and three heifers that will freshen this year. Their gross assets are $11, 728 00-, and their FSA land debt is $4,100, leaving a net of $7,628, as against the $975 00 they own ed, or a gain of $6,653.00. The farm that was purchas ed for $6,325.00 would now easi ly sell for $12,000, which would give them a net gain of $12, 328.00 for their work for the | past six years; Meanwhile, they have had the <0$ with new... amazing aquella The Scientific Masonry Coating Magazines Have Raved About Perfect answer to .

The FHA still is making loans to good tenant families who cannot obtain reasonable and adequate finances elsewhere, Mr. Ramsey said.

A The best control, according to State college entomologists, is based on destroying the queens and young in the nest. If the colony, which is usually out-of-doors or beneath cracks in the cement basement floor, can be located, the ants can be destroyed by punching a few holes in the nest and pouring one or two tablespoons of car bon disulfide into the openings. No one bait can be depended upon to destroy all kinds of ants. Some prefer sweet bait, while others relish meat and grease baits. Potato acreage goals for 1947 have been revised downward by the U. S. Department of Agri culture. Say: "I Saw it adrertUed in The Press." ? ~ LUMBER 12 Foot 5-V Roofing 10 Foot Corrugated Roofing Bath Outfits Outside White Paint White Asbestos Siding ?
