CATTLE FEEDING PAYS 2 FARMERS Two former New Jersey farmers bought residences and settled down in retirement in Craven county, near New Bern, two years ago. Sensing good possibilities in it, they bought 1 400 acres of cut-over land list fall. There were no improvements. They turned the place \into immediate use by importing from Waynesvilk, 40 head of feeder cattle. These they fat tened and sold at a good profit, al though they had to buy feed _ and prices were low. Now they have erect ed a big barn and are growing feed, most of it on rented land, pending the getting enough of their own (and in condition to plant. They are going to feed 100 head of cattle this winter. The two men are brothers, W. H. and K. S. Francisco, and have worked as partners 41 years. "We are getting along in years," says W. H. Francisco, the eldest. ''Hut for that, I think we'd make a lot of money feeding and even raising cattle dowp here where all the condi- ( tions are good. We went into it just to have something to do. I am sur prised that more of it isn't done around here." The Franciscos specialized in live stock production when farming in New Jersey. • Amid the applause of his fellow townsmen, 40-year-old F. H. Stickney received his diploma from the Middle town (Conn.) high school. • Registered motor vehicles in the world now number 35,805,602, of which 26,697,398 are in the United States.

Its every-ready service, force of trained men, first class storage warehouses, and liberal cash advances on consignments are at your command. n 13 Attention Farmers i. I know you feel discouraged over the price of tobacco, also other crops, but there is no use in your sitting down and complaining. Those old packhouses needed repairing last year and were neglected, and they are partly respon sible for the poor quality of your tobacco this year. I am in sympathy with the tobacco farmer, although I do not have a crop to sell, but I have a saw mill, and un til further notice I am going to offer to saw lumber for any one who cares to haul me logs, for 95.00 per thousand for pine and cypress, and $7.50 for oak. This, of course, would mean cash, and if your bill is not paid in 10 days, your lum ber will be sold for same. I am offering anything on my yard—♦ by 4s, framing, etc.—from sls per 1,000 down. Now is the time to repair around your plantation, as this is an excellent opportunity to secure your lumber stock. We carry a large stock on hand at all times. Let me have your orders at once, as this offer may be recalled.
