Surprise Party Honors Retiring Yancey Veterans' Service Officer Personnel of the offices of the Yancey County Courthouse and other friends and associrtes in county work gave a surprise party Wednesday afternoon,Jan uary 13, for H.G.Bailey, who THURSDAY, JANUARY 21,1971 'Jl\._. ||| Mrs. Jewel Mclntosh, H.G.Bailey, G.D.Bailey retired on December 31, 1970, as Yancey County Veteran's Service Officer. Mrs. Jewel Mclntosh took the position up on his retirement. Mr. Bailey served as train ing specialist for institution a 1 and on-the-job training with the Veterans' Administration for die counties of Avery, Ma dison, Mitchell, McDowell and Yancey for the five years prior to becoming Veterans* Service Officer for Yancey County, a position he has held for the past 20 years, making a total of 25 years service to the ve - terans and their dependents in this area. Mr. Bailey was presented a public service plaque by G. D. Bailey, attorney, on behalf of associates and friends atten - ding the party in the courfouse. After his separation fromU. S. Navy as seaman Ist class at Farm Family Os Year Is Selected By Local FHA The farm which is now owned by Bobby Gus Randolph and his wife, Judy, was pre viously owned by Mr. and Mrs. Wilkie F. Randolph, his father. As age has away of makipg its effects felt, Mr. Wilkie Randolph decided to sell his farm along with the cows, milk base and all equipment to his son, who had spent his high school days working with his father. Thus, in 1968, Mr. Bobby Gus Randolph and Judy applied for a Farm Ownership loan and Operating Loan to purchase the entire dairy en terprise along with the land. The applicant was found eli- the end of World War I, Mr. Bailey was a school teacher in the Yancey County schools.R>r 15 years, he was merchandis ing manager and public rela - tions officer for Northwest Ca rolina Utilities, Inc. (now the French Broad Electric Menber ship Corp.); and he has been affiliated with the Mutual of Omaha Insurance Com p a n y since 1942. In addition to his work with the Veterans' Administration, Mr. Bailey served as execu - tive secretary to the Yanaey County Chapter of the Ameri can Red Cross from' 1942 un til 1967. The function of the Vete - rans' Service Officer is to serve the veterans and the ir dependents in placing applica tions for the various benefits, such as compensation claims (Cont'd on page 2) gible and subsequently two loans were made. At that time the total value placed ty the Farmers Home Administra tion was around $93, 345. Mth hard work and planning, Mr. Bobby Gus Randolph and wife now has improved the farm and the dairy enterprise to current value beyond the $120,0 0 0 bracket. In 1968, the herd average for milk production was 11,400 pound based on milking 65 cows, as compared today to 12,130 pounds based on 70 cows. In addition, the cows are now bred to proven sires by artificial insemination on the farm by the present owner. Thus, the new crop of hei fer calves, with proper mana gement, should out-produce their dams. Artificial breed ing to proven sires goes along with keeping records on each dam. Thus, Mr. Randolph with the aid of his D. H. I. A. records is able to make im partial observations as to which dam is making money and therefore which heifer calf to save as a replacement. Over a period of two years, he has added several pieces of equipment to the farm inclu - ding a silage and self-propell ed harvester. This family practices some key measures on this farm. Much of the hill land is in pas ture, while the small acreagp of flat land is used for his Bur ley tobacco crop. Almost aery year a few acres of old pasture land is reseeded to fescus for summer and early fall grazing. Mr. Randolph secured an operating loan to enlarge his silage holding capacity by several tons. Thus, he has been able to rent enough other lands for com silage. He is now almost in the position to feed silage the year round. In order to be fairly succes ful in the dairy business, the total operating expenses must not exceed 70% of the total in come. So far this dairy en terprise has maintained this level of performance. Notice Boy S cout Ihrent Nlgjrt, which was cancelled due to bad wea ther last Tuesday night, will be held Thursday night, Janu ary 21 at 7:30 p. m. in the Troop Room at Higgins Memo rial Methodist Church. All parents and friends are invited to attend. 10<
