Increased Interest
In Dairy Activities
Urged by Specialist
Frank W. Fitch, dairyman for the
Georgia Agricultural Extension Ser-1
vice, reports that the dairy interests
of the state are planning to continue
the work started during National
Dairy Month which was conducted
throughout the country in June.
Fitch points out that Georgia does
not produce enough butter, cheese or
condensed milk to supply its needs)
and even many of our rural families
do not have a milk cow. The exten-)
sion service has for years been work
ing toward a goal of at least two!
cows for every farm family and it is
felt that dairy month activities has
greatly aided in this program. But
there is still much work to do, and
it is the intention of the dairy inter
ests in the state to keep on empha
sizing the value of dairy products
the remainder of the year. Instead
Ox a dairy month we expect to make
this a dairy year, he explains.
“Probably no activity in connection
with Georgia’s agriculture has ever
been greeted by as fine and wide
spread a response as dairy month,”
the dairyman declares. “This indi
cates that a great number of people
realize the importance of this basic
industry, and are conscious of the
need of enough dairy cows to ade
quately supply Georgia people with
dairy products.
“During June many civic clubs and
other groups participated in dairy
luncheons,” he continues. “Dairy dem
the state. The value of dairy prod
ucts in the human diet was strongly
emphasized in many ways.”

Rome Ram and Lamb
Show a Big Success
The first ram and lamb show ever
to be held in Georgia was featured
at the new livestock auction sales
barn in Rome last week with over
100 animals being exhibited.
Both the grand champion ram and
the grand champion lamb were bred
and shown by Mr. L. M. Kay, of
Rock Springs, Ga. A great lesson in
) inheritance was taught to the spec
tators by the fact that the champion
lamb was sired by the champion ram.

Mr. W. W. Benton, Cohutta, Ga.

Ga.

The show was followed by the sale
of the rams and lambs and then a
sale of beef cattle, dairy cattle and
hogs.
The champion lamb brought 55c
pound. Top slaughter lambs brought
$10.55 per hundred pounds, while sev
eral lots brought above SIO.OO.
Top beef type cattle (heifers)
brought $8.25 per hundred pounds,
and feeder steers brought $7.75 per
hundred pounds.
A total of $1,300 worth of livestock
was sold. The next regular sale will
be held on the last Tuesday in July
which day comes on the 30th.
