If you are sat isfied with the prices you are getting that is all right but if you are not it would pay you to get in touch with me and I will see that you get the top of the market. We are expect ing this truck at Vass some time about the first of June. If you want to market anything please let me know what you have on hand as soon as possible. Cattle Industry Going Forward. Realizing the place that the dairy cow now occupies, people are fast becoming interested in more and bet ter cattle. Several more pure-bred Gnernseys have come into the coun ty this week and there are good pros- pectls for several more Oalls are coming in every few days for better animals. It is my hope that I shall be able to at least place several more good bulls in the county and as many pre-bred heifers as possible. Any one who attended the big Guernsey sale at Asheboro last week can read ily see now jtist how much they are losing by raising scrub cattle. If you are not in position to buy a pure bred cow, then breed the cow that you have to a pure-bred bull and see if there is not a big improvement in the offspring. The raising of good dairy heifers looks like a pretty safe proposition just now. The farmer who has good purebred or grade cows of any of the dairy breeds is advised tJD put these cows to the best pure bred bull of the same breed if possi ble, and to give the heifer calves from these matings the best possible chance to develop into good cows. The apparent supply of dairy hief- ers is not sufficiently large to meet the probable demand. Prospects are that good milk cows three or four ^ears from now will be commamiing good prices. Indeed there have been few times when it did not pay to raise desirable dairy heifers, and it looks now as if the pay would be better than usual these next two or three years. The creamery at Asheboro is now in full swing and they are paying pretty good prices. Don't fool your self by thinking that the scrubs will pay just as well as good ones. Cast them aside and get something better. Purebreds pay. Possibility of Cream Route for This County. Much interest has been aroused among the farmers of the county over the location of an up-to-date creamery at Asheboro and the possi bility of a cream route into some of the sections of the county, I was in Asheboro one day last week and had the pleasure of making a trip to the creamery. We found it to be a very nice plant and the management anxious to get just as much cream as possible. If you are thinking about shipping I shall be glad to go into any of the details of this work with you but you would find it a porfitable trip to visit the creamery yourself. Begin Preparation Alfalfa Soil Now. If you are thinking about putting in a crop of alfalfa this year, now is the time to begin making preparation. Select a good piece of well drained land and plant this in soy beans or sow it down in peas to be turned un der. Do not plan to sow alfalfa un less the soil is in good condition. We have prospects for the sale of a good bit of alfalfa hay and it can always be used to good advantage in feed ing livestock on the farm. There is seldom a time that good alfalfa hay can not be used. Alfalfa hay has al ways been recognized as good for dairy cattle and Mr. J. A. Arey has the following to say about the dairy business: Dairying is a sound agricultural business. It offers a market for the roughages, grasses and grains that can so easily be produced on all our farms. In our Southern country we have been too much inclined to grow so-called ca^h croj|||^ i^artially be cause it has always been easy to sell them at some price, whether that price meant a profit or a loss. The dairy cow makes it easy to market that part of farm production that is difficult to sell for cash any other way. Where good cows are fed the grains, hays and grasses produced on the farm and the cream produced by them sold to the creameries for but ter making purposes, a high market value in cash will be received for the feed fed and in addition a supply of skim milk will be available that may be converted into cash through calves, poultry and hogs. Dairy cows should be looked upon as marketing agents for farm crops as a means of profitably utilizing the labor on the farm at such times as it can not be so employed. This is just one of the many uses for alfalfa. If you are further in terested in the question of alfalfa I shall be glad to go into details with you at any time. Each year there are a great many cars of timothy hay shipped into this State. Why can’t we produce this hay ourselves and keep all this money at home? Grow More Soy Bean Hay. The agricultural leaders of the South have been teaching the advis ability of a greater crop diversifica tion in the South during the last sev eral years. It looks now as though their teachings are beginning to take hold as the farmers of the South are growing a greater number of crops than formerly. In ch^ngin^ their cropping sys tem, the farmers are confronted with the problems of poor land which pro duces low yields per acre. In order to counteract this, he has become fa miliar with the use of plant food in the form of commercial fertilizers. The soy bean crop when grown for hay lends itself admirably to a great variety of crop rotations as it can be grown as a cultivated crop or sown broadcast with or without other crops for hay. Although soy beans are legumes taking nitrogen from the air, yet on lands of medium or low fertility, com mercial nitrogen in some form is quite beneficial. Phosphates and pot ash, even on the best soils, give good returns when used under the soy bean crop. In the heavier soils, acid phos phate may be the only plant food necessary in order to produce good crops. The South needs more hay. The soy bean crop is not only a soil build er, but also an excellent hay crop. Increase the yields of this crop by the intelligent use of fertilizer. E. H. GARRISON, JR., County Agent. THE PILOT tal interest to all those concerned with agriculture, it has been decided to carry the results of this work to the people in their own communi ties. Arrangements have been com pleted for the operation of a special grape train over the Seaboard rails from Columbia, S. C., to Sanford. This train will be equipped with an exhibit car which will clearly picture the possibilities of European grapes. It is expected that this car will con tain exhibitJs of grapes, packed in the several containers recommended for this commodity. It is further planned to have entire vines of sev eral varieties of grapes, together with their fruit on exhibit, and also a number of other exTiibits, charts anfd pictures. It is planned to stop this train a day at each of the princi pal towns in the Sandhills, at which time the general public will be in vited to \isit the car, look over the exhibits, listen to the discussions and secure what information they may desire in connection with the culture of European and American grapes.

With all the new buildings that are in progress now in this sec tion the Sandhills will be an uncom monly good market for North Caro lina furniture this year. CAMPAIGN TO BE LAUNCHED SOON (Continued From Page One.) scale. A great future for these grapes in this section is predicted by uhose who are well informed in the industry of grape culture. The vines are even more prolific than in Cali fornia, while the size of the berries and bunches, together with the flavor and quality, are said to surpass the California grown European grapes. With the Eastern industrial centers being the largest consumptive mar kets for European grapes and tak ing into consideration the fact that the entire Sandhill territory is less than one-third the distance to these markets as compared with the Cali fornia grape growing centers; one dan readily visulize the possibilities the Sandhill territory holds for grape culture. The six Southeastern states, al though large consumers of both Eu ropean and Domestic grapes, produce less than six-tenths of one per cent of the grapes grown and marketed annually in the United States. Dur ing the year of 1936, 77,585 cars of grapes were consumed in the United States, with California producing 63,- 549 cars or approximately 85 per cent of the total yield for the United States. The grape indtistry in the State of California alone amounts to a $52,000,000 business, annually. A representative of the Development Department of the Seaboard was sent into the larger markets of the Northeast and Middle West to inves tigate the marketing possibilities of S|indhill gr^wn Eiuropiean grapes. The results seem to indicate that such grapes would receive a hearty reception from the produce trade and consumers. Realizing that it is not possible for all the people of the Sandhill terri tory to visit the Experimental Vine yard at McBee and believing that the possibilities of grapes are of vi- LAKEVIEW Mr. and Mrs. Murphy and two children, of Marston, spent the w'eek ! end with Mr. and Mrs. S.

We are very glad to say that Miss Ruth Mclnnis, who has been quite ill for the past week, is much improved. Mrs. M. T. Driggers and son, Sid ney, of Marston, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Gardner Sunday. The Christian Endeavor program Sunday evening was one of unusual interest. Special features of the program were a quartette by Mrs. C. W. Spears, Miss Helene Dougherty, Messrs. J. R. McQueen and M. P. Causey, and a talk by N. L. Gibbon on his recent trip to the Holy Land. Sam Moffitt and son, of (Joldston, were in town Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Camp from Sanford, were business visitors here this week. Miss Loula Eastwood attended commencement at Flora Macdonald College last week. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. MacNeill and a party were in Red Springs and near there a day of last week. The new water slide seems to at tract much attention among the swimmers and lovers of thrills. It’s a thrill all right, to go off the thing, but the best part is the long ride out on the water after one has left the slide. Try it out. You nev-'r know what a thing is like until yo^ try it. You know it is the “stuff” when Uncle Henry Matthews stopped fish ing long enough to give a trial, and says it has more kick to it than a government mule. R. G. ROSSER, M. D.
