Cfll 90,000 Farm Fimillcs Tit North Carolina Without Even One Family Cow. ♦- M -1-- Il \J ,V/ At »»; , ! On-’January t,~M39 milk cows in North Okolina, or approximately one milk cow lor each nine inhabi tants. The average productive life of h cow is only abbut five years. On this basis, says John A. Artey, Extension dairyman of State college, it will be necessary for North Carolina farmers and dairymen to raise 76,200 heifer calves annually to even maintain the number of cows now in use, which is not enough to produce suficient quantity of dairy pro. ducts to meet the demands of home consumption. In the sections of this State from which milk is sold for fluid consumption, some dairymen still depend upon buying cows to replace the discarded ones rath er than raise them, Arey stated. “This method of replacing a herd is often responsible for heavy los ses caused by bringing in com municable diseases through new cows. It also rarely ever results in increasing herd production from year to year,” he continued. “Since the ability of cows for milk production is inherited, the wise dairyman will use a good bull and raise his best heifer calves. He will see in each of these heifer calves the possibility of a cow which will not only re place a discarded member of his herd, but will also help to raise the average production of his herd.” The specialist said that the last Federal census report show ed that there were 90,000 farm families in North Carolina with out even one family cow. “The shortage of cows in this state, and the great difficulty in securing good cows from other states, even at high prices, makes it very important that our farm- FOR R GRADEThe South Boston Virginia Tobacco Market a leads s - Sell In Sale Schedule, Week of November 6 PROPRIETORS: Boston Pl anters Warehouse - Ist.

Tobacco Market Laughton In Film Drama When Daphne dumaurier cre ated an imaginary setting for her “Jamaica Inn,” she vsiualized an dftfie, scarey hostelry of the eigh teenth century, infested--by-cut throats, brigands, horseithieves And sundry criminals as the set ting for an excitingly romantic tale. That is how it is brought'to the screeh in the Paramount pro duction of “Jamaica Inn," which stars Charles Laughton and is showing today and tomorrow at the Palace theatre. Few places along the rocky Cornwall coast had a more sinis ter connotation for the inhabit ants than this inn, once really the headquarters for a band of wreck ers, who lured ships to their death on the rocky bays and stripped them of their cargoes. The screen’s story revolves a bout Charles Laughton, a de bauched squire, who controls and protects the wreckers for a share of their loot. Suspense in the story grows Robert New ton, one cf the members of the gang is rescued from death by Maureen O’Hara, sister-in-law of the gang’s captain. o • Skating, Romance In Florida Settings Theatre audiences are trans ported to the delightful atmos phere of Palm Beach, Florida, as they view the unreeling of the story of “Everything’s On Ice”, screen comedy romance which comes with honors firmly grasp ed in the tiny hands of Irene Dare, six year old ice-skating prodigy and is being shown to day and tomorrow at the Dolly Madison theatre. ers and dairymen give more at tention in the future to the rais ing of good heifer calves,” Arey declared.
