This, the eighteenth article of the
"Prosperity Follows the Dairy Cow.
series of the Belle Meade Butter com
pany is distinctly conservative in its
tone, and yet it is full of the pi-omlfee
of success for the man who starts
right.
There are two ways of getting in
to dairying. One is to go into i>
and the other is to grow into it.
Men of wealth invariably foil.v.
•he first plan. They djt> not always
profit from it berause large expendi
ture* of money for barns, equipment
and cattle are sometimes made inju
diciously.
Going into dairying is, therefore,
not to be recommended to the man
ua the average farm. The wise pro
cedure for him is to start with whal
he has and gradually grow into this
business which guarantees a profit ev
ery day in the year.
There are barns and sheds on all
{arms. Perhaps they are rot most
suitable for stabling cows, but inv.
riably a few changes will make them
answer the purpose.
Fresh air and sunshine are two of
the greatest essentials for the dair,
cow. At little expense a building al
ready oq the farm can be fitted with
-.windows and a system of v*rllflallo~
so that it will be warm in the winter
cool la the summer and permit of m
ibusdoer of fresh air and sunshine
at all times. Then such a building
ufficr* from all practical standpoint
for getting into the dairy business.
Methods of farming do not neces
orily have to be changed to get in
to dairying, but the rule is that a
rnaaged methods in farming is ad
visable from the standpoint of the
fana itself. Diversifying the crop*
raised and intrMuring legumes into
the crop rotation helps in getting in
to the dairying business.
Usually there are a few cows ot.
every farm. Usually, too, and this it
according to accurate investigation,
one third of these cows make a pro
fit for their owner, one third of them
just about pay for the feed they bt
and the remaining third fail to pay
for their board.
It it, therefore, but good manage

The man who hopos to reap the

CANADIAN FLOI'K ARROA*
Canadian flour is giving Americiu
Hour 'sharp connection" in ho Ce»
noun market, according to a iv...
just issued by the department of aTi
culture, which ocers the expla:.ato
that this is due in part to preference
for the Canadian product because o
its qrality and partly to the he te>
credit accommodations obtainable fron
Canadian exporters
"Canadian flAir, the agricultural
commissioner reports," to quote th«
department's statement, has lately oh
tained higher prices in Germany thai
American flour. He says German con
sumers like the Canadian flour be
cause of its charpneas. The demani
for Canadian flour in Germany hat
surprised the tr*- V because it hue
been thought It could And a market
only in Czecho-Slovakia and Hn >)and.
Flour in this connection is only
another name for wheat. Canadian
flour is milled from hard wheat—the
only grade upon which the A niericmr
tariff of 30 cents a bushel could have
any appreciable effect. If this grade
of wheat is excluded from the United
States by the tariff it is not suffering
for a market in Germany. On the
other hand, exports of American whea
have declined in value and volume all
this year.
The best that can be said of the
republican tariff of 30 cents a bushel
on wheat is that it is utterly without
benrfit to the producer. There is a
re ison for believing that it has help
ed to divert German consumption
from American to Canadian flour .

Mr. Stoke* was about 60 year? old.

carry 60 per cent of the blood of their
high producing ancestry. By contin

ing the average pure bred.
Ever since the beginning of the
world there has been on immutable
law from which there has been no de
viation. This law states that "Like
begets like or the likeness of an an
cestor." Interpreted into common ev
ery day language, this means: Dreed
to scrub sires and scrub cows will re

sires, and- good, highly productive,
profitable cows will result
It is vary simple and very inex
pensive to grew into dairying for one
who will stady cows, give them prop
er care aad feed, mate them with a
good dairy aire and raise the heifer
ealvea well.
Growing into dairying is -so sim

WILLIAMSTON. MAR IN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1923.
THREE MILLION
IN 3RD PAYMENT
ON TOBACCO
N. C. and Va. Bright
Grower to Share In
Distribution
Three million dollars will be dis
tributed in third payments on lart
crop to members of the Tobac
co Growers Cooperative association in
eastern North Carolina and the oli'
bright belt of North Carolina and of
Virginia.
The last meeting of the board of
- r
directors authorised the treasurer to
make this third payment in eaaten.
North Carolina on December 21, ami
in the old belt on January 10, 1921.
Recent sales of redried tobacco car
ried over fjom 1922 make these thin!
payments possible although this is
not a final settlement to members on
last year's pool. More than 100,000
separate accounts will be calculated
in order to make the*e two payment*
according to the treasurer of the as
sociation.
Checks are to be distributed at the
warehouses as in previous payments
and members must present their par
ticipation certificates to obtain the it
checks. It is pointed out by associa
tion headquarter* that this is the first
time growers have ever owned any
redried tobacco and been in a posi
tion to make profits on it as always
under the old system speculators make
all of profit on redried tobacco. Re
cent sales of this redried tobacco at
association prices are regarded as a
triumph for the organised growers
and a vindication of the policy of the
boar dof directors in redrying a large
amount of last year's crop to be "mer
chandised" instead of "dumped".
The growers association is now a
full member of the National Council
of Farmers Cooperative Marketing as
sociations by direction of the board of
the last meeting.

The automotive industry i* showing
more than ordininry interest in bul
letin number 38 just issued by the
Bureau of Education, Department of
Interior, entitled "Main Streets ia the
Nation," and intended as a study of
projects oa highway transport for el
ementary schools.
Prepared by Florence CL Fox, spe
cialist in educational systems for the
United States government, it will par
ticularly appeal to the children be
cause their lives are very dose to
the highway question; good roads
playing an increasingly Important
part in every child's experience.
The bulletin shows the remarkably
interesting and practical lesson* that
have been worked out for elementary
grades. In arithmetic, for example,
a question such as this, is asked: "If
the railroad fare from New York to
San Francisco is $138.18, how much
moie, or loss, will it cost to motor
through on the Lincoln highway than
to go by train?" The solution in
volves problems in the cost of gasor
line, the wear and tear of the ma
chine, and the day's living expenses
en route as compared with the cost
of travel.
In the geography deportment in
teresting lessons are presented which
afford imaginary journeys ower the
country's great highways. Impor
tant cities are located on the way
and brief assays are written about the
ing. The bulletin gives in great de
tail how such lesions may be pre
pared.
Problems in simple science are
brought out by a study of road
building, drainage and of grading.
Lessons in cities are exceptionally in
teresting and these include problems
on financing: how to obtain a right
of way; how the bond issues are now
cared for, etc.
An important lesson deals with the
safety question. Every parent is In
terested in this and the work involv
ed cannot fail to be of help anil prar
-4»
tical use to the young student in the
face of the crowded streets and high
ways.
The government also has taken ad
vantage-in this bulletin of the excel

for consolidated schools. The need of
bus service, improved highways and
