Yesterday morning at $3.50 Miss
Virginia. the attractive 20 year old
daughter of our townsman, Contrac-
tor w. B. Hodges died at the home
of her sister Mrs. j. F. Carter in this

Miss Hodges had been ill for but
a few days, and many of her friends
did not know of her indisposition un-
til the end came, news of which was
a decided shock to those who had
known her. Deceased was very at
tractive personality, smiling and
of a pleasing disposition which
endeared her to the hearts of her
friends. She knew the end was COM
ing, and talked pleasantly with those
about the bedside until a few mo-
ments before the summons came.
The citizens of the town extend
their deepest sympathy to the be-
reaved relatives.
Interment was in the cemetery
near Poplar Grove Church yesterday

Two very. narrow escapes were

GOOD DAIRY COWS
PAY WELLL0CALLY
Interesting Figures Result From Ac-
curate Record Kept of Famous
Watauga Dairy Herd.

Good dairy cows are paying Mr.. w.
w. Wilson. of Watauga County. How
does he know? He knows because he
has been keeping records on his herd
supervised by the Dairy Extension
Office of the State College. These re-
cords show conclusively that good
cows do pay. During May the six
cows kept by Mr.. Wilson produced
$3.50 pounds of milk, which is 774.3
gallons or an average Of a little more
than four gallons per day for each
COW. This milk was sold to cheese
factory at $1.40 per hundred pounds
which amounts to $93.23.
The most, interesting part of this
performance is that this milk was
produced chiefly on grass. The total
value of the feed consumed during
the month allowing $3.50 per head
for pasture charge was only $31.52
This taken from $93.23, the value of
the milk, leaves a net profit Of over
cost of feed .Sof $61.71. This is an
excellent rethrn and besides most of
the work in connection with keeping
these cows was done at early morn
ing and late afternoon, being times
Of the farmers day when it is hard
to realize, cash for his labor unless
he keeps cows. -
Mr.. Wilson found from hiA records
that last yeap two of his best cows
returned more profit than the other
-four. These figures show beyond any
question that good cows do pay, here
on Watauga farms and Watauga
grass. Poor quality cows may not
pay but good producing cows do, and
there is no reason why farmer can
not have good cows. We often hear
excuses rendered for not having the
right kind Of cows, but they are mere
excuses and not reasons.
: The price paid for milk by the
cheese factories has been ranging
around $1.4O per hundred pounds,
and it is often said that this is low
an. that there is no money in pro-
ducing milk and selling at this price.
The figures on Mr.. Wilson's herd
constitute the best answer to this
statement.
During May the average feed cost
Of producing a hundred pounds of
milk in his herd was AZ cents. The
market value of this milk was more
than three times, the feed cost. Will
it pay? The answer is that it DOES
pay.

By HENRY BELK,

Boone June 20.-If farmers Of
western North Carolina continue to
develop new crop introduced COM
mercially for the first time last year
it will be only matter Of few
years until they have new source
Of revenue which should bring them
not less than a million dollars an
nually. Farmers of Avery, Watatga
Henderson, Buncombe and any other
county which has an altitude of 3d.
900 feet can benefit from the new
crop. John B. Steele, county agent
for Watauga, related the story today.
Growingi seed Irish potatoes is the
.new.venture.
Irish potato growers Of the eastern
counties of North Carolina, of South
Carolina, and Of Florida each year
are forced to purchase from northern
markets seed for another crop. Their
total purchases run into the millions
annually. Most ofSthe seed, purchased
comes from Maine and northern New
York.
"There is something in the climate
Sof these southern states that seems
to prevent the potato from keeping
from one season to the other for
Seed" Mr.. Steels> explained this
morning. "I suppose that it is be-
cause the thermometer stays too
close to the top of the indicator a
good part of the year"
In 1920, John w. Goodman, now
district agent for the western coun-
ties, with an Office at Asheville, was
county agent in Avery County with
an Office at Newland. While here Mr..
Goodman studded the seed potato
problem carefully. He saw that the

Officers and men, it was stated, are
paid for drill duty, which usually is
four times a month, the limit being

However when in camp the officers
