Brief History OF Cheese Plant
And Its Value To County Given

weed, with onions or other objec-
tionable fiavors to contend with,
the picture seemed ideal.
True to their convictions in 1880
the Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corpora
ton erected $4,000 cheese plant
here at West Jefferson, one of the
finest in the South.
For time the industry developed
rapidly, but about that time we
entered the depression and strange
as it may seem, even though the
first cheese factories were built in
this area, other southern states
such as Tennessee and Mississippi
made unlimited progress in the
development of the dairy industry
while North Carolina reverted back
to its original industry of grazing
beef cattle. Each year Tennessee
and Mississippi are making sever
al kmillion pounds of cheese, butter
and other forms of fluid milk
The Kraft Phenix Cheese Corp
Grafton, working out development
program through its field men and
plant managers, have advocated the
production of high quality milk by
selling at cost to their patrons, SAM
tary milk pals, strainers, milk cans,
brushes, washing powder, chlorine
solution, etc. They also advocate
the production of more home grown
feeds and silage for economical win
ter production of milk and the i'm
provement of their permanent pas
ture for summer grazing.
The soil conservation program
sponsored by our Federal govern
ment, whereby millions of acres
formerly planted in cotton and to-
bacco have been converted to the
growing grasses and legume crops,
signifies but one thing and that is,
more livestock"

Ashe Co. Farmers Have Excel
lent Chance To Expand Dairy
And Cheese Industry.
(By Levern Johnson, Manager
Kraft-Phenix Cheese Ccrp.)

About ten years ago, officials of
the Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corp,
Chicago, ILL.,, looking for new fields
where they might further the de-
development of their ever growing
cheese industry, became impressed
with the wonderful possibilities in
the South.
After making numerous surveys
several sites were chosen on which
they erected modern cheese fac
tories equipped with up-to-date ma
chinery including cold storage ia
cilities. West Jefferson was chosen
as one of these locations. -.
It is an interesting fact to know
that the first cheese factory ever
built in the south was near Cove
Creek, Watauga Co., N. c. About
tn same time several small factories
sprung up in Tennessee, Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi.
In making their selection of a
plant site at West Jefferson the
|Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corporation,
having to import large quantities of
Swiss cheese from foreign countries
each year, which has to be made
from high quality milk, free from
Objectionable flavors, became great
ly enthused over the natural posi-
bilities of dairying in this noun
tain section. With natural blue
grass and white clover growing
abundantly over the hills, giving a
large grazing period, cold running
springs on practically every farm,
the ability to grow good crops of
corn and small grains and no bitter

for the sale to be held here Nov.
16. We sincerely hope that the
farmers of this section will avail
themselves of this opportunity
whereby they can lay the founda-
ton for a purebred herd in the near
future.
To our patrons we wish to extend
our heartfelt thanks for their close
cooperation and assure them of our
continued interest in their behalf
and a dependable market at all
times.
To the breeders who are making
the sale possible, we extend a
hearty welcome and sincerely hope
that this first consignment sale to
be sponsored in Ashe county will
prove to be such great success,
both socially and financially, that
we might make them an annual
event.

This week we are found with
quite a task. The Carolina Tar
Heels tackle Duke in Durham
Duke is on the same train, bound for
California, on which Carolina
climbed a couple of years back, just
to get off again. They lost their
ticket at Durham!
This year is the year for re-
venge; everything is set, and we be-
| lieve Carolina has been holding back
all The year. However, we are
afraid the Blue Devils are little
too strong for the Tar Heels, al
though an upset is not out of our
minds yet.
Duke certainly carried the Little
Demons for a ride last Saturday.
That is, Hackney, O'Mara, Upton
and McAfee did, after the Deacons
had played the Blue Devil reserves
to standstill. The Tar Heels took
Davidson as predicted, but displayed
some of the hidden power to prove
that Duke will have plenty to do
Saturday to win.
Doc NeWton's Wolves carried on,
and ran over the Citadel Bulldogs
for a decisive victory.
Appalachian stayed at the top of
the North State loop by out CHASING
Western Carolina, while the Elon
Christians returned to early seas
on form to win over Catawba.
We picked Lenoir- Rhyme over Ma
val apprentice and won a tie for
our efforts.
Alabama won as expected hard,
close battle from Tulane. Vandy
turned on the heat to take Sewanee
41-0.
Tennessee and Lansing High were
the only two teams to let us down
last week. Tennessee dropped It's
contract to Auburn while Lansing
boys playing in rain, snow, sleet
and freezing weather, were de-
feated 60, the exact score Lansing
won by last year.
Lansing's last chance to score
found them with first down on
the Glade Spring three yard stripe
as the first half ended.
For the weeks winners, we are
picking:
Lansing over Cranberry
Duke over U. N. G..
State over Manhattan
Harvard over Davidson
Wake Forest over Wofford
over Guilford
Catawba over Erskine
Stetson over Lenior Rhyme
Alabama over Ga. Tech
Auburn over L. S. U.

Lansing Downed
By Glade Spring.
Eleven, 6 to 0
Skylanders Had Ball On Three
Yard Line When First Half
Ended. Bad Weather.

Last Friday afternoon the Glade
Spring high school gridiron eleven
turned the tables on the Lansing
Skylanders by eking out 6 to
victory, the same score that the
Ashe county boys had to their cred
it the previous year.
With the elements staging a show
with rain and snow, it was difficult
for either team to launch an ag-
gressive offensive attack.
In the second quarter, however,
after gaining a considerable amount
of ground by exchanging punts,
Glade Spring sneaked through the
Lansing line to register a touch
down.
Following this the Skylanders
came back with renewed attack
and carried the ball to the three
yard line and were all set to plunge
over for score when the whistle
blew, bringing an end to the first
half.
During the remainder of the
game, neither team threatened to
score. Aside from the weather, the
Lansing team was handicapped
without the services of Hartzog,
star quarterback who was injured
in the second period and had to
leave the game.

Tells Girls a Few Secrets

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. 8
U.N.SO.-From the man who
has discovered more film star
material than any other person
in the motion picture industry
has come a new set of rules for
those fledglingS who seek film
fame.
He is Billy Grady, Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer talent scout
who discovered such notable
film players as Eleanor Powell,
Gladys George, James Stewart,
James Cagney, Allan Jones,
Buddy Ebsen, Ruby Keeler, Ray
Bolger, w. C. Fields, Joan Blon-
dell and Florence Rice.
Beauty is a big factor in
seeking screen talent" Grady
said today, "but beauty means
nothing without other requisites.
Again, success cannot be
found in pictures without hard
work, perseverance and willing
ness to work. Even if the boy
or the girl is behind a soda
fountain, in a 5-and-10 or in a
ditch, if that youngster has tai
ent he or she is eligible for a
screen career. no matter where
he or she may be found.
ITO achieve this success, sev-
eral dos and 'dont's' must be
religiouSly observed.
Don't be affected.
Don't be any other person
but yourself.
Don't think about horses
and talk about dogs.
Don't dress.
Don't overdress. It is nat.
uralness and simplicity that
catches the eye.
Don't put on makeup to at
tract attention. It is natural
beauty that gets you by, not ar.
tificial beauty. The camera Is
cruel, robbing every player of
from three to five pounds dur.
ing each picture and magnify.
ing every movement. Above all,
be yourself"

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 9 Q.N.S)
Owner of a new car but afraid
to go near it, Betty Cradle,
blonde film starlet, is telling
HollyWood's widest black widow
spider story today.
The actress drove her coupe
into a garage the other after
noon for a minor repair in the
motor.
AS the mechanic went to do
the work, he disturbed a nest of
black widow spiders, which was
concealed near the generator OF
the car.
Grabbing a cloth, the garage
man scooped out the egg sacks,
but the mother spider, noted for
her poisonous bite, scuttled off
into the vitalS Of the machine.
She may have dropped to the
ground, or she may have crept
up into the upholstery of the car.
For the time being, at least,
Miss Cradle is taking no chances
on the latter being true. She is
