came tight in his home commune
ty, he gave up his place in the
mill, and now devotes his time ex-
clusively to his farm and his
Guernsey cattle.
During the same period, the
young man has remodeled his
home, installed electric lights, has
running water, and has equipped
his home in a modern, efficient
manner.
This year he built a modern barn
for housing his cattle and storing
his feedstuffs. Right now, he plans
to build a modern milking parlor
and milk house by which he can
produce grade "a" milk. The
building is to be constructed of
glazed tile.
It is well to go back also to-
the time when N. M. took his cat
tie from the Randolph Fair at
Asheboro to the Piedmont District
Fair at Greensboro and won al
most as completely as he had at
his little county fair. Shorty"
Milisaps says that his recognition
by the National Guernsey Breed
ers organization is richly de-
served. And now that the young
man has realized the dream of his
boyhood days, what he has done
is an example to other boys in
that section.
There is no better way in which
to keep a boy interested in the
farm than to give him valuable
animal of his own. Mr.. Worth
Lowe was wise enough to do this
and he has the satisfaction of see
ing his son own a farm adjoining
the home place. This boy is carv-
ing a name for himself in the
farming annals of Randolph Coun-
ty and it all started with one little
Guernsey calf, is years ago.
But not all is so rosy. on the
farm front. w. o. Davis, farm
agent in Halifax County, says the
shortage of pork and lard in his
county is having serious effect
on the labor situation. In the first
place, labor is losing too much
time from work in going from
store to store and from town to
town, trying to find fatback and
lard. Some stores report to Mr..
Davis that they have sold out Of
salad dressing and salad oil which
is being used as substitute for
lard, and the story goes that even
vaseline has been used in some
cases for making biscuits.
Mr.. Davis made survey of the
wholesale and retail stores to de-
termine the amount of fatback and
lard coming into Halifax County
this year as compared with 1914.
One wholesale distributor serving
that area checked his records and
found that he had received only
635 pounds of fatback so far this
year as compared with Is, 1859
pounds for the same period last
year.
The owner of a retail store said
that in July, 1914, he sold an aver
age of $50 pounds of fatback per
week. In July, 1915, he could get
only 80 pounds each two weeks.
This same retail merchant sold
254 pounds Of lard per week in
July of 1914, and this year he re-
ceived one shipment of 30 pounds
of lard from May l to July Is.
Ordinary farm labor does not
understand this and believe that
they are being Disseminated
against. Consequently the work on
the farms of Halifax County and
of other crop counties in the east
suffers.

c,H The other day N. M. Lowe
IT Farmer, Randolph County,
Joined the American. Guernsey
Cattle Club and became the first
dairyman in Randolph County to
be admitted into the ranks OF that
select organization. But the whole
thing began with one purebreo
calf that N. M. bought back In
1929, is years ago, when he joined
the dairy calf club being organ
lied in the county by E. >.
shorty Millsaps. The boy Sc
cured registered, highly-bred
calf from T. D. Brown in Rowan
County and from that day on ne
determined to become a dairy
farmer.
His first activity was TO exhibit
his calf at the little Randolph
County fair that fall where he took
10Th place in field of 20 entries
made by the club boys OF that
county. N. M. says he always had
a thankful place in his neart fol
the boy who took the last place
because it kept him from being at
the very bottom. But this did not
discourage the young dairy1nan.
He knew nothing then about how
to groom a calf for exhibiting in
the show ring; neither did he know
anything about how to show calf
once he was in the ring.
Therefore, he came back the
next fall and each succeeding fall
until the present war emergency
caused the Randolph County fairs
to be cancelled. Each year, N. M.
went little higher in his win
nings. He and an OF h er boy,
Charles Kearns, Jr., now lieu
tenant in occupied Germany. be-
came friendly rivals and they de-
veloped into two of the best cattle
showmen that Randolph County
has ever produced. Young Lowe
continued to show his animals, all
of which were the descendants OF
that first heifer calf.
In 1889, for instance, he took
first and second places for senior
yearling heifers; first and second
places for Junior yearling heifers,
third place for senior heifer calf,
first place for junior bull calf and
grand champion female of the
show. Shorty Millsaps says he
cannot recall the winnings made
by this boy at succeeding fairs but
he does recall that this time he
almost made a clean sweep OF all
the first places.
Time went on. The boy was
graduated from the Farmer High
School in 1884, and elected to re
main with his father, Worth Lowe
on the home farm. He worked
here with his father until 1885,
when he decided he must do some
thing about getting a place of hi!
own. So he started working par
time in textile mill at Asheboro
He did not sell his small breed
ing herd, however, but continued
to look after his animals early ii
the mornings and late in the eve
nings, before and after his work
in the mill. BY 1899, he had enough
money to make payment on &
farm of his own and moved there
in the fall, taking his Guernseys
with him. He continued his work
in the mill and hired local labor
to aid in his farm work.
In 1913, he bought another tract
adjoining his original farm which
gave him 121 acres. With this
amount of land, N. M. figured thai
he could 60 ahead with his Guern

is a glimpse into his philosophy
on reconVerSlon:

materials are not needed for war
and essential civilian production

situation if every manufacturer

agency that thought it might

dren got under way in Florida
last week with the purchase of
the first sheet of these gaily col
ored stamps by Governor Willard

From now through April 7th,

Children and Adults, which is the

the National Crippled Children's

Officials point out that it is
better to aid and rehabilitate
these unfortunates to maintain
themselves and lead a normal,

taxes n the years to come for
their care in state institutions.
