neros and flocks have been improved
until at the present time only tha
very finest breeds are to be found on
his farm.

his studies, specializing in agriculture
and dairying. Following his gradua

ideas he had received about modern
farming.

2,187 persons in North Carolina died
last year, as a rosu.lt of tuberculosis
of . the Inspiratory sytem.
Four deaths were charged against
Haywood county. All these were
white.
Theie were five counties in the
state, that have the same or less than
this, county while two counties, did not
have any deaths due to the white
plague.
One county in Western North Car
olina is reported ; with; having -..30(5
deaths. Haywood county is jndeed for
tunate in having as few as four, since
many people come to this section
yearly for the climate in an effort
to cure themselves of the disease.

Another contribution was added to
The Mountaineer's potato collection
last Saturday when Fred M. Hoglen
brought to this office several pota
toes about three times the size of the
average.
Mr. Hoglen stated that he raised
153 bushels of these potatoes on about
three fourths of an acre in the Ball
Creek section of the county.
This is -just one of the many proofs
that Haywood county is one of the
largest potato raising counties in
North Carolina. Those experienced in
growing potatoes say that with little
attention and favorable weather it is
not uncommon to grow 250 bushels
to the acre.

Fall Freshened Cows
Produce Most Milk
Usually the cow bred during the
latter part of January or in February
will freshen in early fall and will
produce more butterfat through a
twelve-months period than whjen
bred to freshen in the spring.
"The cow that freshens in the fall
does not suffer from hot weather and
flies during the period of her heav
iest milk flow as does the cow that
freshens" in the spring," suggests A.
C. Kimrey of the dairy extension of
fice at State College. "The rush of
the summer work is over in the fall,
and the owner has more time tp care
for the cow during this heavy pro
ducing period. Then, too, the prices
for butterfat are usually better in
winter than in summer. December
butterfat often sells for 10 to 12
cents a pound more than May and
June butterfat."
Mr. Kimrey finds that a majority
of the creameries in North Carolina
ha3 a surplus of butter during the
summer months but a scarcity in win
ter. This means that much of the pro
duct must be consigned t.
central markets at a sac:i:
