Now is a good time to satisfy
your family's taste for beef. It is
plentiful and the price is lower
than it has been for some years.
Beef supplies are not plentiful
and retail prices are at their low
est levels in many years. Most con
sumers are taking advantage of
these lower prices to satisfy their
desire for beef. This is evidenced
by the large increase in per capita
consumption for 1953 and 1954.
Beef consumption reached an all
time high of 77 pounds per person
in 1953 as compared to 55 pounds
per person in 1951. It is extimated
that we will eat 79 lbs, per person
in 1954.
It isn't the reduced price alone
that makes beef so popular. Beef
is one of our more tasty meats and
is a favorite of most families. It
can be used in a variety of ways
for any meal of the day.
Beef not only is tasty but it is
high in food value. It is one of our
top-ranking, high quality protein
foods. It will build and keep musc
les strong. Beef also offers some
good health protecting vitamins
and iron to build red blood.
The Western North Carolina
Beef Cattle Commission is interest
ed in the people of this section
sharing in this increased product
ion of beef. The extension Service
is cooperating with the Beef Cat
tle Commission in conducting this
program. The purpose of this pro
gram is to show consumers how
they can spend their food dollar
more wisely and at the same time
to eat more beef.
The program on how to select
cuts of meat and various ways of
cooking and serving it attractively
will be coming to you over the
radio, television, in newspapers
and through demonstrations. Watch
all these sources for good ideas on
using beef.

Grain Feed Is
Unnecessary
Feeding dairy cows heavily on
grain is not necessarily the most
profitable way for p farmer to in
crease his milk output.
Scientists of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture have complet
ed studies which show that greater
dependence on high-quality forage
can reduce feeding costs ? which
normally account for half or more
of the total cost of milk production
? by 20 to 25 per cent. .
Grain feeding has increased
about 25 per cent among U. S.
dairy herds in the past seven
years. This has added materially
to milk production costs. National
average milk yields have increased
1.44 pounds for each pound of in
crease in grain fed.
To USDA dairy nutritionists, this
means that the grain has been sup
plying more than enough cow
nutrients for the extra milk ? and
that forage contributed little to the
increased milk output. They be
lieve that a similar increase could
have been obtained, at less cost if
more nutrients had been derived
from good forage.
The Department researchers
point out. however, that the sav
ings possible through feeding more
pasture, hay, and silage depend a
great deal on the quality of this
forage. It has to have a high level
of TDN? the total digestible nutri
ents that make it more than a "cow
fiUer."
Studies show that income over
feed costs and rate of milk pro
duction are more favorable to dairy
farmers when the quantity of
good forage is about 2*4 times the
weight of grain fed. The cost of
producing milk rises sharply when
the forage makes up only a little
more than half the cow's ration.
Evergreens Are
Valuable Shrubs
By FRANCES DELL
Evergreen shrubs, which hold
their rich summer-green all during
the winter, are very valuable
plants. Families with picture
windows or glass walls really ap
preciate evergreen shrutit.
There is a way to hold back the
browning effect of winter. Ex
periments show that lawns can be
kept green all year as far north
as Philadelphia and mid-Ohio.
To do this you must feed your
lawn generally and regularly everv
second ifionth throughout the er^
tire year. Most people do not use
enough plant food on their lawns.
One spring application is not
enough. The result of under-feed
ing and cold is an unsightly lawn
until spring.
Two fall feedings will usually
keep a lawn in good shape. Make
one immediately, another in six
weeks. Then adopt the every sec
ond-month program.
The amount of plant food you
use depends on the brand you buy.
Follow the directions on the bag.
Organic plant food can be used
during the summer but you will
need a chemical plant food dur
ing the fall. This is because when
the soil is cold the nitrogen in or
ganic matter is not released.
To insure even distribution of
plant food use a chart made for
this purpose. This way you will
avoid streaks of uneven growth
and color. The lawn should always
be watered after a seeding to wash
the plant food off the leave;.
Don't fertilize your trees during
the fall, however. Fertilizing will
cause new growth, then a sudden,
drop in temperature will kill it.
You want the growth on trees to
harden, the better to stand the

cold winds.
Evergretna, however, should go
into the, winter with a full supply
of plant food and a moist soil.
Feed and water your evergreens in |
October and November. This will i
help prevent winter -injury and '
will keep your plants green and
lovely looking as long as possible. 1
