Dairying in North Carolina 
Several Northern men have recently 
asked about the possibilities for dairying 
in North Carolina. Dr W. F. Massey- 
writes this note about it: 
There is no reason why they should 
not succeed in dairying in the Piedmont 
section of North Carolina, except ignor¬ 
ance of anything but growing cotton and 
buying fertilizers. One man in that sec¬ 
tion years ago went into dairying for 
Charlotte, and concluded that he had the 
finest and cheapest food anywhere in cot¬ 
tonseed meal and cottonseed hulls. In 
about three months he found that his 
cows were dying with imemic poisoning 
from too nitrogenous a died with no 
good roughage. lie learned and profited 
by the lesson, and went to making silage. 
Put the idea of real pastures and keeping 
them good has not penetrated into the 
general comprehension of the cotton farm¬ 
ers, born and raised with a hatred of 
grass and a taste for gambling with fer¬ 
tilizers. The real dairy section of North 
Carolina is the high mountain plateau 
west of the Blue Ridge, where for genera¬ 
tions the main pursuit has been raising 
feeders to sell to Ohio and Indiana as 
M inter feeding beeves. Now they are 
there investing in Holstein cows. Carload 
after carload have gone into that country 
from Wisconsin and Michigan, and the 
cheese factories there made and sold over 
418,000 lbs. of cheese last year, and sold 
thousands of pounds North in direct com¬ 
petition with the Northwestern States.
