In fact, I believe er the past two weeks combined they have earned a permanent with a late fall and a good crop are the causes. Looking over our DHIA report for the month of October, we see again three Laurens County place as top dairymen in the state. Congratulations to Mr. Hance Finley of Mountville, S. C., Mr. Herman Gabbert of Mountville, and Mr. Harry and Mark In graham of Lanford. These farmers have used good Judgement and fed their cows all the good quality roughage they could get. They have bred to the top sires in the country. They have kept good records and culled by them. All the prac tices that add up to high produc tion they have used. I believe each herd will go higher. I am glad to see Mrs. Gray Harris, another dairyman, out after a serious illness that has kept her confined for the past few weeks. Mrs. Harris operates a large dairy in the Youngs com munity.

Two layers, of 15-pound build er’s felt, or “tar paper,” may be used in the same way, Hedden says. Why not cover the entire soil area under the house with one of these moisture barrier materials and eliminate the condensation problem altogether?

And doors might begin to give you trouble.” That’s why Hedden suggests covering only part of the soil un der the house.
