Hatcher, Commanding Officer, Nor th Carolina Highway Pat rol; Walttr F. Anderson, Director, State Bureau ofi OF GREATEST IMPORTANCE An e\ent of the greatest importance to the farmer? and dairymen of the county will take place on next F riday, and we wish to urge every farmer of the coun ty to attend. The first promotional Guernsey sale ever to he held in the county is scheduled for next Friday at 1 o’clock at the Zeb Young farm east of Burnsville. The men who will offer animals for sale are among the outstand ing Guernsey breeders of this section. The animals offered are from the finest Guernsey herds in the sec tion. Many of the outstanding men,.of the state Guern sey association, and two representing the American Guernsey association will attend. / , It is with extreme satisfaction that we have noted the recent rapid improvement and development in growing both beef and dairy cattle in the County. However, unlimited possibilities remain; expansion in these fields has just begun in this section. An event which offers opportunity for growers to obtain out standing animals for their herds here, and at the same time offers the opportunity for farmers and civic lead ers here to meet specialists and leaders in the dairy in dustry, should attract every farmer in the county. An event of this importance deserves all the pub licity that can be given it, and it deserves the support and attendance of every person interested in the pro gress and advancement of the county. Cancer is the greatest killer of American women between the ages of 35 and 55—the second greatest killer of American men. Food Production and Conservation are more Im portant now than ever be fore.
