If this idea were realized there would be five times as many hens in the Co. as there is today. If this num ber were maintained year after year there would be an income, jeach year, from the sale of old stock, surplus young stock, and eggs of nearly a million" and a half dollars. IS IT WORTH WORKING FOR? If there were enough good milk cows in the county to av erage five cows to every farm there would be an income from these cows from the sale of fat of right at a million and a half dollars each year. Other than this there would be the natural forty-four hundred pounds of poultry was sold by the farm ers at the poultry car on Mon day. Nearly 3600 pounds of this was turkeys.

One of our bankers remarked on being given the above infor mation, 'If we could do that evr ery week, you would see the bank deposits climb.'

If you cannot come to his office drop him a postal .card and he will call to see you. There , is . an expert " dairyman employed by the Stae and sta tioned in Asheville whose field of operations is Western North Carolina. He is at this writing buying milk cows for another county. He will buy cows for anyone in this county. His time is yours. He is paid a salary. He knows cows. He knows how to buy and will get them at the best price possible. His ability, and he has it from experience and naturally, is yours for the asking. I NOT USE IT? WHY increase of heifer stock to ac-(them?

Why not see the Qhese Improvements are Important There are two general classes of motor car improvements. Those made primarily for their effect on the public and those made pri marily for their effect upon the car. You will perceive at once that Dodge Brothers new five-bearing crank shaft, two-unit starting and lighting system, air cleaner and other recent improvements, are the sort that represent genuine value. They are sound and substantial bet terments, producing definite and marked results, and as such they are typical of Dodge Brothers methods and product Roadster Touring - Coupe Sedan $910.00 . 910.00 . $965.00 1020.00 DELIVERED AT MARSHALL HENDERSON MOTOR CO MARSHALL, N. C We Aim SU DpndabU trees' Cere Brothers MOTOR CARS i DO WE NEED A FARM PRO GRAM IN THIS COUNTY In the eastern part of the State an effort is being made to enlist the farmers in a program that calls for more diversification in farming. Do we need such a program here? Do we depend too much on tobacco for our in come? We grew, in 1925, according to Farm Census, 3,733 acres of tobacco. We grew 20,994 a- cres of corn, 4,647 acres of wheat, 1,081 acres of rye, a bout 12,666 acres in grasses, legumes, sorghum, etc. for hay. Truck, home gardens, potatoes, etc., was not more than that needed at home. How about our livestock? Only 373 brood sows. 1 to every 9 plus farms. Not enuf. Hens, about 23 on a farm. Only about one-fifth of the number we should have. Milk cows, and this is every old kind of a cow that gave milk, not real milk cows every one of them, about one and a half to the farm. This is far short of what it should be, of the num ber named in our slogan. But how do we care for these crops? Of course we can not tell exactly but we have a good indication when we learn the amount of fertilizer bought and do a little thinking. Accord ing to the census 1,014 tons of fertilizer was purchased by the farmers. If we distnoute tnis over the acres used to grow to bacco there would be about 550 pounds on each acre. Probab ly not all of it was used on the tobacco crop but-tne cnancea are that most of it was. This d i c a t e.s that the tobacco crop is receiving a too large proportion of the atten tion. This is not good farming. It is placing all of our eggs in one basket. When we drop that basket all of our eggs are lost. When the tobacco crop fails mil lienor disfttDears. If it were possible to grow tobacco continuously on one patch of ground the result would be worse than it is. Nature forces the farmer to place his tobacco on ground that hasnot grown tobacco continuously for sever ei(j;y e a r iNatujreTorbesT a kind 'ofTotatiori. As It is so far as is possible the tobacco takes the best ground, the bot tom land. It cuts the yield of our other crops because of this. What should we do? Grow more and better livestock. Grow the fodder this livestock needs and a good portion of the grain it will eat, at home. We should calculate how much feed we need for the livestock; and lay aside enough acres to' raise this. We should pay" more attention to the home gar den, the home orchard, the home berry patch. Then, aft er this, we should, if we desire to, grow a half an acre, an a- cre maybe but usually not more of tobacco and grow it right, make qiiality tobacco. If it fails we have our living. If it succeeds we have our living and the tobacco crop besides. THINK ABOUT THIS. f, .. ai , in1 1 "v - ;jcr3cr: Boll -'rfev i x : II 1 ' Y; W. A.
