MANUFACTURED MR SOURCE OF ADDED INCOME According to James M. Stew art, assistant county agent, man ufactured milk can offer' to Mad ison County farmers a, year :a- round source of income ; It is do ing this presently for nearly three hundred local producers. Most farms which can support some tyue of livestock program can nor mally be expected to handle a few dairy cows. With the available land on most Harms, the income from manufactured milk can match that of tobacco income from that same farm. An example of what it would take to be equa valent to one acre of gross tobac co income would be a manufact ured milk operation with six dai ry cows averaging six thousand mounds of milk, or two and one half gallons milk. , per day. Manu factured milk offers a good mar ket for both labor and feed. A beef cattle operation with less than ten beef cowa or ten steers would be a more profitable operation if it were converted to manufactured milk operation. Manufactured miHk, unlike many other farm incomes, is a year round income. This income is dis tributed throughout the year, com ing every two weeks as opposed to moat farm income which is re ceived in the fall. Labor saving devices, such - as the ' cow4oHcan-nilker, v."

At the time, this was a great improve ment over previoue equipment but with only the one truck at was in deed hazardous -to answer fire calls outside the corporate limits. In later years, the laws of North Caroline prohibited the one truck to go outside -the city limits. In 1958, - Fire Chief Allien Ducket, with the assistance of members of the volunteer depart ment, started a drive for a rural fire truck which would give -the town two fire-dSghting' vehicles and also furnish fire-fighting e quipment for out-of-town fires. This was, (indeed, a mountain ous task since little or no money was on hand. The firemen, through public contributions with enough money donated to purchase a used chas sis.
