JERSEY CALVES
INTEREST ROTARY,
COL. NORMAN SPEAKS
Program Chairman Clifford T.
Storey knew that Jefferson Rotary
is so much interested in Soil Con
servation, Calves, Chickens and
Children, that he called Colonel Earl
Norman, who is the leader in bring
ing about a revolution in agricul
ture in Wilkes County, to come to
Jefferson and talk to this club. The
invitation was accepted and Colonel
Norman told the story of Wilkes
County, which talk may be entitled,
“From Poverty to Prosperity.”
The poverty was brought on by
boll weevils and depression. After
the bpll weevils invaded Wilkes
County, the more land a person
owned, the sadder was his financial
plight.
Then the county turned its atten
tion to grain, pastures, cattle and
soil conservation, which have
brought prosperity again to Wildes
County, the home of that great
statesman, Robert Toombs.
Colonel Norman and others, not
only with adults, but with the 4-H
and F. F. A. Clubs, gave Jersey
calves to each of a certain number
of boys and girls. The first heifer
calf born from these Jersey gift
calves was given to other boys. The
result is a chain so that there are
now more than two hundred Jersey
calves in Wilkes owned by 1-H and
F. F. A. members, obtained from
this source.
Wilkes is now a great cattle coun
ty which sells hundreds of gallons
of milk each day. Prosperity has re
turned to the county and the people
there are happy.
Colonel Norman is a very pleasing
and magnetic speaker and everyone
who heard him was charmed with
his message. He was presented by
Prof. J. L. McMullan.
By motion of Henry W. Davis,
Rotary will sponsor the calf proposi
tion which is expected to prove a
splendid success.
Guests present were A. C. Brown
of Ft. Pierce, Fla.; J. L. McMullan,
Pittman Carter, Worth Wilkes, Mays
A. Venable, Hoke Hardy, R. H. Mc-
Ever, and Scott Waddell. Only two
members were absent.
