FARMERS PROFIT
 BY SMALL DAIRY
Walker Countians Urged To Try Out Three Cows As
 Beginning
CASPER BUREAU)

JASPER, Ala, Jan. 25.-Is dairy ing a safe and practical industry for the farmers of Walker county to adopt in order to provide steady income with which to meet current expenses on the farm? Kelly Herring, Walker county ex-service man and dairy ex- pert, says it is. Mir. Herring took a special course in dairying after the war and has charge of a creamery and two milk stations at Union, Miss, for a company. Although the dairy busi- ness is practically new in that part of Mississippi, Mr.. Herring shipped $125,0O0 worth of milk and butter for the farmers about Union, Miss, dur ing the year 1923 and hopes to handle $200,000 worth this year. One hun dred and twenty-five dollars dis tributed among the farmers of Wal ker county this year would help in many ways. Mir. Herring is visiting his father, R. NJ. Herring. The Mis- sissippi people have little better pas ture land, Mir. Herring states, but just as good pastures can be built up in Walker county. He advises the farm CTS to start with three cows, produce their own feed and gradually increase their herd. The Mississippi farmers average from five to eight cows:
