Caledonia Farm Won't Serve State Cattle Distribution
Halifax County farm Caledonia will not be used this year as an Eastern distribution center for cattle handled by the State Department of Agriculture. Cattle marketing specialist T Lenoir Gwyn said Paul Worsley of Rock Mount offered his yards for distribution when carloads must be divided. Gwyn stressed 1945 is favorable for cattle as eastern crops boost feeding, and urged farmers to feed surplus roughage to convert into money. Department marketing service will assist in securing suitable cattle and coordinating shipments to buyers in carload or smaller lots for distribution within 30 days.
