HIGHER R-BRED CATTLE NEEDED
H. H. Williams Points to Reason of
Profitable Western DairyinS

AS H. III. Williams was walking
along the main street the other day
he noticed, drawn up by the curb
in front of the store, an automobile
delivery wagon bearing. the sign,
"Carnation Farms. - Having been
in the dairying business for many
years, he was familiar with the his
tory of this great Wisconsin con-
Germ, SO he stopped and talked a
while to the man in charge of the
automobile.
Later, telling friend about the
conversation, he said;
1.-THE question occurs at once
how can Wisconsin people extract
the richest part of the milk and sell
it down here in North Carolina for
less than half Of what we pay for
milk ~
"The answer is simply this: fine
cattle, They don t waste time with
COWS giving a gallon and a half or
two gallons a day. They know it
is waste. Their cows give four,
five, six, some Of them up to ten,
gallons day. Having high-b
cows, and getting this big yield,
cuts down heavily the cost of pro-
duction per gallon, enabling the
dairymen to sell low and yet make
a profit.
"The bull at the head of the
Carnation Farms herd cost $780,
600 at public auction, and
daughters of this bull will give ten
gallons daily. The price of the bull
sounds high, but when the higher
milk yield of pure-bred cows is
taken into account, the cost of
breeding is shown to be true econ
omy. .
"Here in Orange county the OPP
portunity for dairying is excellent
all the better now that the nearby
market for dairy products is grow
ing so rapidly. Our land is far
better suited to grazing and forage
crops than it is to ordinary crop
farming And in climate we have
a big advantage over the Middle
Western farmers who get SO much
better results than we do. We can
let our cows stay outdoors during
a far greater part of the year than
they can, and that means a saving
in feed
"There is a great future for
dairying here, then, if our farmers
will heed the lesson of bredieng,
and not waste their money, time
and effort on inferior cattle. If
they go in for the best breed of
cows, they can make a good profit
and at the same time lower the price
to the consumer. J

SCHOOL Will HAVE
INCUBATOR HOUSE
Class in Agriculture VIII Get Prac-
.tical Experience in Hatching.
Boys viii Do Building
ADDITION WILL PAY FOR SELF

An incubator house is to be built
on the grounds of the Chapel Hill
school by the members of the agri-
culture class. A lot running out
from the main school yard, back
Of M. q. Hogan's residence, will
be used for the new building.
The school boys themselves will
do the construction. The material
will cost, altogether, not more than
about $45.0O. This viii be made
up in time by setting apart a GER
tain percentage from the proceeds
of the sale of chickens hatched by
the incubators. q'~""T9S-:''
The school now has two incu-
bators with a total capacity of 300
eggs. They have been loaned out
temporarily, but will be called in
and placed in the new house. The
total incubator capacity will be in
creased to 500 eggs later.
This will be a means of valuable
training for the boys in raising
poultry. Some of them have be-
gun the work already, but here
they will operate under the imme-
diate supervision of their teacher,
R. P. Harris, and will learn the de-
tails of Matching and brooding
more thoroughly than they can by
themselves. There will be a pOul-
try yard yard around around the tlsez. iHeHbba tor
house. The house will have ditch
around it to carry the water off,
and it will have a cement floor
eventually.
Convincing proof of the wisdom
of getting pure-bred eggs was
given this week when the boys of
the 9th and 7th grades made out
the egg-laying records of their
farm focks. Walter Oldham, who
lives five miles south of Chapel
Hill on the PittsbOrO road, was at
the top of the list with an average
egg production of II per cent.
This record was made by puffets
from eggs from trap-nested fowls
bred at State College.
Frank Pendergraft was second,
his hens showing an egg produc-
ton of 81 per cent. The third
best showing was made by the hens
whose recodd was kept by John
Williams, who lives out on the
HillsbOr0 road. The lowest records
were those on farms where no at
tention had been paid to getting
pure-bred eggs.
The boys count the eggs each
day, and, since the number Of lay
ing hens is known exactly, the cal
culation of the percentages is q
simple matter. There are 35 boys
in the class. OF course, in most
cases the fiocks upon which they re-
port actually belong to their pa
rents, but it is the boys who gather
the eggs and keep the records.

striction is to be made in the case
OF homes on the old Battle prop
erty purchased not long ago by
EJohn NJ. Booker. Mr.. Booker re-
serves for himself the old house
and the land Immediately around
tit; but he is going to put on sale
severar lots facing upon the wind
ing road which is to enter the do
main from the west.
The University plans to extend
Cameron avenue eastward from
the east gate Of the campus, and
this new thoroughfare is to run
along the south side of the Booker
property. swing around to the
north, connecting with the street in
front of the Bradshaw and Hib-
bard houses, and eventually, it is
said, continue on up between the
Lawson and Kennett lots to Frank
lin street. Then there is the propoS-
led Opening-up of the land owned
by the Gimphouls around Piney
Prospect and fronting ON the Ra-
leigh Road. One of the most con
Ispicuous present building projects,
because it is on the highway com
ing in from Durham, is that of
Sturgis E. Leavitt. His. home is
going up on lot between the
homes of A. s. Wheeler and II. V.
P. Wilson.

will soon begin to build. His lot
was bought out of the E. V. Howell

is designing Mr.. Registers house,
was in town the other day consult

Paul John Weaver has already
begun a house on a lot to the rear
Of the East Franklin street home

Chester D. Smell let contract a

for the construction of a home on
Vance street near the Pittsboro
Road. This is to be "a one-story
house. Work upon it is to begin
soon.
Howard w. Odum is planning to
build on his land on the Pittsboro
Road next to the Carroll -PrOuty

Collier Cobb has been talking of
putting up some more houses on
Cobb Terrace. James Patterson,
who owns most of the land on the
street running down from the post
office to Rosemary street, is consid
ering the erection of business
buildings there. There has been a
great deal of curiosity for several
years as to what Cameron F. Mac
Rae is going to do with the plot on
the post office corner where Mr..
Thomas now runs a store, and this
curiosity does not seem any nearer
to being satisfied.
Professors who may build this
spring and summer, according to
current report, are j. +. Dashiell,
J. +. Lear, and r. F.. Bradshaw.
Edwin A. Greenlaw will probably
build a home between the Mae
Niders' and the Hendersons' be-
fore fall.
One great obstacle in the way of
home-building--and it is undoubt-
edly preventing a good deal of con

rowing money. The building and

nearly equal to the demand. Nor

 The vigilantes operate in 500 of the 1000 towns in the state which have banks. The organization is spreading and probably will be in operation in the other 200 towns be. fore the year is ended.
 Banks in each of the 99 counties of the state have pledged the pay ment of at least s1.000 for the cap ture or information leading to the arrest and conviction of robbers or burglars attempting to rob or burg larize a bank. The reward is paid immediately upon the capture, dead or alive, of robbers or burglars taken while in the act of committing the crime.
 Several counties have equipped their vigiIantes with armored automo piles. One county has barricades erected at intersecting roads, from behind which the bandits are due for rain of lead, should they pass that way. Another county has color ed lights fer night pursuit, that the vigilantes may identify each other. The same county has provided spiked belts. which are stretched across the highways to puncture the tires of the automobiles of the fleeing bandits. In counties where there are airplanes. arrangements have been completed for their use in case of emergency.
