BY F. II. JETER

There is a place for dairy COWS
and poultry on eastern Carolina
farms. If you doubt that, visit
the farm of Mr.. and MS. J.. w.
Taylor, on the Richlands-Comfor
Highway about three miles from
Richards, in Onslow County,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor oper-
ate the Taylor Stock Farm. Farm
Agent Charlie Clark, Jr., enthu-
siastically declares that this is
one OF the finest, registered, Jersey
diaries Of its size in North Caro-
lima. The Taylors own a herd OF
IS registered Jersey heifers and
COWS with 80 animals now in, milk.
Back Of the present herd are
long years of hard work and in
telligent effort. Mr.. and Mrs. Tay-
lor began developing this herd
Is years ago. In 1881, they began
their dairy work with three old
grade cows, selling surplus butter
and cream. With this small start,
they next bought three registered
Jersey cows from he Coastal
Plains Branch Station at Willard
and then in 1888, they secured five
more registered cows from the
herd at the Statesville farm. To
these eight animals, they added a
top herd sire secured from Granda
Farms near Hickory in CataWba
County, and then they continued to
sell butter and cream from the
farm until 1889, seven years ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor will tell you
that in 1881, they sold only about
one and one-half pounds of butter
a day for IS cents a pound; and
then during the next nine years,
their production developed to where
they rel selling 101 pounds. II
1910, they built and equipped a
$40, 900 modern dairy barn which
was ready for use in 1941. When
the barn was ready to be used,
they began to retail grade "a"
fluid milk. In the meantime, their
herd had been increased to 80
Jerseys with an average of about
Is cows in milk at a time.
In 1912, four years ago, the Tay-
lors felt that they needed new
blood in the herd so they came up
to the State College dairy farm
and bought two nice cows; they pur-
chased two more from Ray Maine
in Aurora; Is others from the herd
of DR.. Clarence Poe of Raleigh;
and three additional ones from the
Coastal Plain Station near Will
lard. Each of these animals was
of top Jersey breeding and made
a valuable addition to the Taylor
herd. A new herd sire was secured
from an importation by Moro
croft Farm from the Isle of Jer-
sey, and, of the famous Cock Robin
breeding.
At the present time, therefore,
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor are milking
30 cows from the herd Of IS ami
mails. Each COW is on test with the
American Jersey Cattle Club, and
the owners have complete records
Of every COW in the herd. Their
top ranking animal produced $4,000
pounds Of milk and SIS pounds OF
butterfat in 305 days of milking.
The herd averages $500 pounds of
milk and 430 pounds of butterfat in
the regular 305 milking days.
Some of the cows do not go under
six per cent of butterfat at any
test, and, the herd is noted for

in butterfat production.
Farm Agent Clark says that the
State Jersey Committee selected
two heifers from his herd to be
sold in the State sale held in Char
lotte last September; another cow
was selected for the State sale al
Statesville in August, and, a fourth
COW has been selected to represent
North Carolina in the National
Dairy Show to be held in Columbus,
Ohio, in October. The committee
of experts visiting this farm con
graduated M. and Mrs. Taylor
for the excellent breeding work
which they had been carrying on
and for the high quality OF their
individual animals.
The farm proper consists of 172
acres of land with 100 cleared or
open. Of this amount, there is an
allotment of Els acres of tobacco.
The remainder of the open land
is devoted to the production of
feed crops, largely supplementary
grazing crops, silage corn, and hay.
The farm has meant much to the
surrounding community for the
reason that Mr.. Taylor has sold a
number of his best bull calves to
neighbors at reasonable prices.
These animals are being used on
native cattle to build up the quail
ity of family cows in Onslow
County. Mr.. Clark estimates that
it will be only a short time now
until the Taylors will be ready to
sell some of their surplus heifer
calves as well. In the meantime, Of
course, these heifers are too valu-
able and too badly needed to be
disposed of except in unusual cir
cumstances, much as when one or
two are selected for state sales.
In addition to the dairy work on
the Taylor farm, the owner are
operating a hatchery for Barred
Rock chick8 The Taylors have
always sought the best, and so they
secured their original poultry stock
from T. N. Wilcox of Tryon, Polk
County, operator Of an outstanding
Barred Rock breeding farm. MI.
Wilcox's birds have received ma
tional as well as state honors, win
ming many Of the national egg lay
ing contests. From an original
purchase of chicks, the Taylors
saved 200 hens and from the Sc they
have developed a flock of 1920
laying hens.
They have incubator capacity
for 1000 eggs and hatch and sell
about "a, 900 baby chicks each sea-
son. Each year, about 200 of the
best laying hens in the flock of
1900 are selected and used fo-
breeding purposes. The heas are
trap-nested and each egg produced
is carefully recorded. Some Of the
top hens lay from BOT to 300 eggs
a year, and the entire flock Of
l 200 hens has an average of ESQ
eggs per hen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor's ultimate
aim is to have the best in Jersey
mixers and in Barred Rock lay
ers. They r pointing the way to
what can be done with livestock
and poultry in eastern Carolina,
and they say that what they are
doing others can do also. It's an
interesting farm.

|FDR DISCUSSED
PALACE BOMBING
Senator Thomas Reveals
Plan 10 Destroy Hiro-
hito's Toxic Home

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-U,D-
The late President Roosevelt one,
discussed at a secret White House
conference a plan to destroy EN-.
peror Hirohito's Tokyo palace, bu,
was dissuaded from the attack
1t was revealed Sunday night.
Plans were carefully prepared
for an air bombardment to shatte.
the palace compound and reduce
the royal household to rubble. Mr.,
Roosevelt was to have ~''pressed
the buttcn' ordering the destruc.
ton.
Plan Discussed
Chairman Ebert Thomas, ID
Utah), of the Senate Military At
fairs committee, recalls a hurried
wartime summons to the White
House. The Chief Executive excit-
edly explained the plan and dis
cussed 1T with advisors.
Thomas, for many years a stu
dent and teacher in the Orient, and
others present, urged that the
scheme be abandoned.
Would Rile Japs
It was maintained that such an
attack would violate American
principles of bombing only mill
tary objectives-that the Emperor's
household was that mainly of old
men, aged women and children.
The President also was told that
such an operation would serve
only to infuriate the japanese who
regarded the palace compound as
inviolable.
The President listened intently
and ordered the plan Scrapped.
Thereafter the palace and its
grounds strictly out-of-bounds to
American pilots and bombardiers.
Story Recalled
The story of the hurried confer
ence and the attack that never &C.
Cured came out as Thomas con
trasted U. S. occupation policies
in Japan and Germany.
In Japan, he pointed out. Gen.
douglas Macarthur has utilized ex-
listing governmental machinery,
including the Emporer, himself, in
rebuilding the formerly aggressive
nation.
Four-Way Split
No such procedure has been pos
sible in Germany because of that
nations division into four occupa-
ton zones administered by
French, British, Russian and U. 3.
forces. Eventual rebuilding along
democratic lines of the former
Nazi state was described by Thorn
as as a most difficult operation
because of the lack of administra-
Tive machinery through which to
work.
Thomas strongly supported the
plan of Secretary of State James
F. Byrnes to unity the four occu-
patton zones. Such a program, ne
said, would tighten the load OF oc-
cupa.ion forces-includiag Ame--
iican GI's-and lay the groundwork
for establishment of a peaceful
postwar regime in that country.
Peace Threat
Only through sponsoring the de-
velopment of German governmental
machinery, he said. can a German
government be assured that would
never again prove a threat 70
peace.

Cut Of Bridge
Tolls Suggested
Susquehanna, Potomac
Spans Yielding In
Excess Of Needs

With the spring racing season ut
hand when thousands Of out-of-state
automobiles will use the two spans.
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor has
recommended reductions of the tolls
of the big bridges over the Susque-
hanna and Potomac Rivers.
Details of the proposed reductions
we're not announced. The governor
in his letter to the State Roads Com
mission said an analysis of a report
on operations of the bridges showed
that total receipts would be consider
ably in excess of legal needs.
"It is particularly significant that
in the five months from Oct. /, 1916,
to Feb. %, 1946, inclusive, the in
come from the operation of the two
bridges was 81 per cent greater
than in the corresponding period one
year ago." his letter said
In recommending decreases in the
tolls on both bridges, revenue from
which goes to the same fund, the
letter said the decreases in tolls
would result unquestionably in
greater use of the bridges which, in
turn, will produce more revenue"
