Wilson Walker to Start Dairy, Aug. 22, 1924

A New Dairy. . . Wilson Walker Buys 60-Acre Farm on Body Road

Encouraged by the recent passage of a city ordinance that will abolish the one- and two-car dairies within the city limits, Wilson Walker has purchased 60 acres of the Parker heirs on Body Road, adjoining the Milton Sample farm, and will establish a dairy there about January first.

Mr. Walker says he will build a modern, sanitary barn and milk only Jersey Cows. His idea is to start with 15 cows.

It is believed that other dairy projects will develop now with improved roads and the removal of the family cow competition.
