Description	A male worker at the dairy farm on Friendly Avenue poses with a cow in 1927. In 1923, the Campus Farm moved to a 250-acre site located in Friendship Township, in western Guilford County. Holstein cows provided milk for the students and extra milk was sold to local dairies. During World War II, the farm used German Prisoners of War for labor. The College kept the farm until 1945 when it was auctioned off because of the difficulty of getting labor and the high cost of animal feed.
