The county-wide track meet
scheduled for next month, is quite
an important event in the county in
an educational way. We should all
wake up to the fact that it is nearby,
and we should get ready to support
it morally. We say morally, because
nothing else is required of the general
public, but to boost and encouarge
the school boya and girls and teachers
to see that a large number take part.
To make anything a success, re-
quires cooperation of the masses,
when the masses are concerned. In
the track meet, every county school
la concerned, or at least we feel that
St should be.
That being the case, every patron
of the schools should encourage their
schools to take complete parts in
every feature of the program. They
should attend the meet with their
students, and lend their presence and
encouragement. All of this will help
lota. It will give your approval and
demonstrate that you are interested.
and loyal.
The pupils and teachers of the
schools, to get the most out of the
meet, should prepare themselves well,
come inbued to carry away as many
points and honors as possible. There
will oe a number of schools to enter.
Those that come to be represented,
should strive to make all the features
interesting for each other. If the

That hi
We have been observing the past
few weeks the trend of the poultry
and dairy industries of the county.
A few years ago farmers sensed the
benefits of these two branches of
farming and many became engaged
in both. Up to a few months ago,
both have done more to bring pros-
perity to the county than any other
two things. For months, 1926, 1927,
1928 and 1929, they brough many add-
ed dollars spending money into the
county. Since the slump in business
came, and prices declined there has
bee na gradual drifting away from
both. Producers have become dis-
couraged.
That is natural in a way, but we
think it is the wrong thing to do.
Stay with both if at all possible. It
took several months to get started—
to learn the game.
Because there is a temporary de-
cline, it is absolutely no sign that
prices will remain low. It is really
a sign that they will go back.
For this reason: Many are quitting
dining prices upward that are sure
to rol) around.
The old sayinjr in, everything that
goes up is bound to come down. When
prices go down in business slumps,
they almost invariably rise again.
That proved true following the 1921
depression and there is no reason on
the top side of the green earth to ex-
pect anything else, just as soon as
the present depression blows over.
The dark clouds are rolling away fast
now, and the forecast is for clearer
weather in a business way.
When better times come, we would
like to see the poultry producers and
the dairy farmers prepared to share
in the period of prosperity, and not
be caught off guard spending all their
time getting equipped. If they spend
two or three years getting back in,
then they won't have but a few years
to enjoy the benefits before another
slump comes.
The farmer right now who is get-
ting into these two industries instead
of getting out is the most likely to
be the one to benefit. Buy when

indication that there will be a change
for the better. Those who haven't
flpcka of poultry, a nice herd of
dairy cows when conditions got better
will certainly be behind and will mias
an opportunity to profit and rids in-
everybody is buying is the safest
policy. It is the most profitable.
Instead of going out of the poultry
and dairy business now, we think ia
the proper time to get, into them.
Think it over and be your own
judge.

nearly to News Tri-hune's front door,
