These stories are true, of course, in this country where no iiction is ever as strange as the fact. But equally a^rue, arid far less frequently exproited are the ac counts of the little people who start with a meager beginning and wrest, a degree of success from the very soU they were bom to.

It was not'Unusual for them to lose from thirty to fifty per cent of their tobacco through wilt, and in those years, tobacco prices were a cause for worry. It seem ed that the weather was always unfavorable, and hail damaged their crop year after year. Their one cow got little attention in the scheme of things then. But a great deal happened as the years rolled by. and by 1946 the Miltons owned their own farm of eighty fertile acres, were milking “fourteen head of dairy cattle out of a herd that includ ed twenty-seven cows and a bull. They were selling thirty gallons of milk a day in winter and a- bout fifty gallons in the summer. The cows grazed permanent pas tures where a few years before friends had warned the Miltons that no lespedeza or rye'^^ould grow. •nie^xSmall but efficient dairy buildings are equipped with mo dern electrical equipment.
