CANNON, County Agont Classify Dairy Animals A field representative of the Hol stein Breeders Association is to classify registered Holstein animals on the farm of T. P. and“D. Eugene Brown, Rt. 2, Laurens, commercial dairy farm, at 2:30 p. m., Thurs day, January 23. Any person interested in observ ing the classification work is wel come to attend the meeting. This classification of dairy ani mals is simply plating the various animals into classes or groups on point used in scoring an animal of dairy breed and type. The Browns milk an average of approximately 125 cows and market their milk wholesale through a dis tributor in a nearby city. Artificial breeding program is practiced on this farm to improve production of their herd. Dairy Meeting Phe Artificial- Breeding Associa tion will hold its annual meeting in 4-H Jersey breeder in South Caro- the Agriculutrai Building in Lau- lina f! rens at 7J30 p. m., February 11, with Harry League, Clinton, presi dent of the association, presiding.

To Discuss Aromatic^ Tobacco Farmers interested iJT increasing their farm income are requested to attend a tobacco meeting in the Ag riculutrai Building Friday, January 24, at 10:00 a. m. G. D. Butler, extension tobacco agent, will takfrrpart on the pro gram;- :w '*- . Figures have been quoted by the writer before in this column of the success Harold Y. Taylor, Ora com munity, has had in growing tobacco. Mr. Taylor has grown tobacco since 19^0 with-success, and last year net ted $559.32 on two acres of tobacco, or $279.66 per acre The only labor used was his family. There is no government control on aromatic tobacco acreage, nor is there any expectation of a market over supplied at this time. Price paid for top grade is $135 per pound. It is hoped that the meeting will be well attended by farmers who are interested in helping to increase their limited farm income.

Also if a per son does not have proper equipment PC And Wofford Meet Saturday Presbyterian cigars, Laking time off this week for semester exami nations, already have racked up‘top grades in the basketball book of their supporting fans. . __ For, the unheralded little squad, which was conceded less than an even chance against larger rivals at the start of the season, has bla^gd its way to an impressive record of nine victories and just three defeats thus far. And the momentum seems to increase nightly as the fiery spirit ignites yet greater hustle. The Blue Hose will put South Car olina’s top basketball record to a se vere test when they return to action at Wofford this Saturday night. It’s an important game in the fast Little Four league which PC currently leads on the strength of a victory over Newberry. ’Hie Indians, in turn, have whipped both Wofford and Erskine. Presbyterian courtment have col lected 92 total points in the 12 games thus far for ah 82 5 per-game average. That ranks high nationally The most impressive figure, how ever, is the point spread which em phasizes the quality of PC’s basket ball defense this season. Opponents so far have collected 810 total points for a 67.5 average. This means a 15 average point-spread between the 1 Hosemen and their combined oppo sition.

January should be the planning month for 1958. D^iry farming has expanded rapidly since 1940. The year 1958 should be a good one for every dairy farmer in the state, particularly the newer ones, to take a complete inventory of land; labor, capital, equipment, and dairy cat tle. This inventory should form the basis for a complete study of all these resources so that they can all be brought into efficient operations and the industry statewide. Poultry 1.
