GREAT SUCCESS
THIRTY HEIFERS ON BLOCK
AT KLONDIKE FARM

NON-PROFIT SALE
Most of Animal* Will Remain in
This Immediate Section
Foundation stock was placed
In many herds of Guernsey cattle
in this community Monday af
ternoon when ' thirty pure-bred
calves fresh from Wisconsin were
placed on the auction block at
Klondike/Farm and. in each case
brought far above the purchase
price. The thirty calves sold for
an aggregate of $6,327.00 with
an average price of $178.00 and
the non-prifft sale, a re
-1 fund of approximately za% to
\he buyers of the heifers.
„ The sale was a complete suc
cess and went beyond the fond
est expectations of the promoters.
The highest bid was made by G.
B. Price of West Jefferson who,
bid $280.00 for a ten months old
heifer. Nine of the calves were
sold in Surry county, seven were
sold to Yadkin, seven to Forsyth
and the. remainder scattered
over this section of the state.
Mr. Thurmond Chatham, own
er of Klondike Farm and.i
who made al lthe
financing, in a short address be-|
fore the sale started said that;
federal inoome tax filings show
ed North Carolina farmers 48th
In the nation in the amount of
incomes filed and that of those
who filed, practically all of them
were in the dairy business. He
stressed the fact that this state
is supplying only 40% of its
dairy products and pleaded
farmers in this section to get
busy and help themselves by get
ting into the dairy business with
m pure-bred cattle, Guernseys if
possible.
The sale, Mr. Chatham point
ted out, was not to make a cent
of profit but to take the initiative
in aiding the farmers and espec
ially the boys to start at the
ground floor in building up„ pure (
bred herds. Klondike Farm fed
the calveß on arrival without a
cent of cost and Mr. Chatham
financed F. H. state
dairy expert, who made a 5000
mile trip through Wisconsin buy
ing the best calves possible, trac
ing their ancestry and having;
them tuberculin and blood tested
and paying the freight charges
as well as the owners of the cal
ves.
C J- A- Airey, state dairy expert,!
1 made a few remarks preceding
the sale in which he stressed the
need of more dairying in this
• state. H. C. Bates, of Peterboro
N. H. ( president of the Guernsey
Cattle Club of America, was the
auctioneer. Mr. Farnham, who
made the to Wisconsin andj
purchased the calves gave a his
tory of each one and read its
pedigree and told of the long
travel, exhaustive research and
hard study in selecting the heif
ers. He lamented the fact that to
get pure-bred Guernseys for
North Carolina farms, it was nec
essary to go to Wisconsin and i
predicted the time would come
