1t is rare that the show ever
catches up with its press representa-

good thing, especially these days.
She does not think they would be
happy with each other, a show and
its advance man, or woman. But
they do keep going, the one ahead
OF the other, and it is kind of
miracle for which both suppose they
are grateful. At least at times.
When Miss Hoerle talks to herself
she nearly always says the same
thing. Her words are:
Where do they come from?"
BY they she means the people on
the trains between cities, the ones
in restaurants and hotels every
where.

not find a place to live anywhere,
but just the same no one seemed

Miss Hoerle thinks she met them

DAIRYING
DISCUSSED BY AREY

John A Arey, veteran dairy spec
ialist of the State College Exten-
sion Service, in a recent interview
had this to say about future dairy
ing in North Carolina.
"The drive for greater efficiency
in dairy production is not some
thing to be carried on only during
the present emergency. 1t is a
long-run endeavor. We have by no
means reached the ultimate limits
of efficiency that are within reach
right now. What can be done has
been demonstrated by the Dairy
Herd Improvement Associations. In
1914 the average COW in herds of
these associations turned out near
ly twice as much milk and butter
fat as the average COW in the
United States.
Furthermore, it is estimated
that if we can breed even 25 per
cent of our COWS to proved sires-
a percentage now possible through
artificial inseminatien-we can in
crease production per COW more in
the next 10 years than in the past
century.

tinuing at a much faster clip than
is the construction Of homes.
The report stated that during
March more than 11-million dollars
was spent on total construction in
the 26 largest cities and Ga towns
of less than ten-thousand popula-
ton in the Tar Heel State.
Of this amount, more than seven
million dollars was spent for the
construction or Improvement of
non-residential buildings, including
12 new amusement and recreation
facilities.
Expenditures for dwellings and
for improvements and repairs to
existing structures, totaled only
slightly more than four million, one

Cali this shows very clearly that
the dairy farmer Of tomorrow is
going to be able to produce more
milk, with less labor, at lower cost.
And lower cost can mean the wild
