A most enjoyable feature of the

Agent Earnest Carnes. At each milk

ed. Carroll made a butterfat test
during the third month of the lacta
tion period and found his heifer pro
ducing 5.8 per cent butterfat. Dur
ing the first five months of the rec-
oid-keeping. this he’fer, Brannon’s
Raleigh Girl 662288, produced 4056.7
pounds of milk, or 236.3 pounds of
butterfat. If the fat jslone had been
sold at the average creamery price
during this period it would have
brought $100.52 for the five months
to say nothing of the skimmed milk
left on the farm, and the fertilizer
collected, Mr. Carnes estimates.
Carroll had been bank'ng his
prize money and other income from
his calf club work and is now ready
to purchase two other registered
Jerseys as soon as the right indi
viduals can be located. He is get

breeders of the country. Carroll is
14 years old and has been a member
of the calf club for three years.

made on commercial and home poul

1927 according to a survey made by
Thos. W. Morgan, county farm
agent. The amount invested per
bird varied from $1.25 to $2.56. This
represents, says Mr. Morgan, a net
profit on the investment counting
poultry as a sideline farming enter
prise. Practically all poultrymen
made a good profit on their invest

Ten representative farmers with
flocks varying from 65 to 680 birds
show an average net profit of $1.68

of $1.99 per bird. The average in

“Waking Up the Town,” the feature
attractoin at the Dixie Theatre, Fri
day and Saturday at 7:45 p. m.
She is under contract to Louis B.
Mayer, but her services have been
so much in demand recently by
other producers that Mr. Mayer haa
been unable to star the yaung wo-«
man in a feature of his own.
This condition came about because
the Mayer studio was inactive for a
time. In order that Miss Shearez
might not be off the screen and thus
impair her popularity, Mayer “farm*,
ed her out” to other producing com
panies, wh<S featured her in leading
roles, with the result that when
Mayer wanted her back she was in
such big demand and booked so far
ahead that he was unable to get her.
In addition to her work in“ Wak
ing Up the Town,” Miss Shearer
has bee n featured in quick succes
sion in four other big productions—
two Reginald Barker Pictures,
“Pleasure Mad,” with an all-star
cast, and “Broken Barriers;” also
two Warner Brothers productions,
“Broadway After Dark” and “LuU
