Every cow in the herd that had once freshened was included in computing this average, regardless of age or stage of lactation. Individual honors in the herd for production were won by Naota, of Beech Hill Farm, a six-year-old, which cow pro duced 2,288 pounds of milk, 69.78 pounds of butter fat; Libbiehel, of Beech Hill Farm, a six-year-old, which produced 2,142 pounds milk, 65.55 pounds butter fat; Zenda, of Beech Hill Farm, a seven-year-old, which produced 2,248 pounds milk, 64.29 pounds of butter fat; Effie, of rence B.

The trio have made themselves popular in this section by their en tertaining programs. Last fall Mr. Greenwood held meetings at Aberdeen and Carthage, as well as several in spirational meetings at Southern Pines during the fall. He is loved and greatly admired by all who have had the pleasure of hearing him preach. Mr. and Mrs. Plummer have also won for themselves many friend.j in this section. Their music is an in spiration to all who heard it. Besides singing well Mrs. Plummer plays the saxaphone, Mr. Plummer the trom bone, and Mr. Greenwood the organ.
