North Carolina as second claw ' ? ? matter under the Act of March 3. 1879. Milk And Cherokee County Pierre Mendes-France, prime minister of France, has attracted a great deal of attention to the milk industry in the past few months. He wants his people to cut down on wine and drink more milk. And Prof. Hugh Riddell of the University of Vermont said in an article in the December issue of "The Milk Dealer" that M. FrancP just might get things his way. Prof. Riddle went on to point ont that one glass of itnlk provides more food value for the money than any other food. He said it has been figured that to buy the calcium, top quality protein and vitamins in a quart of milk would entail the purchase of nearly 60 cents worth of other foods. He points out in his article, "Milk? Vitality for All Ages," that even at 23 cents a quart-less than the price of a pack of cigatettes? milk is worth that for its calcium content alone. And we get the protein, vita- 1 mins and other food nutrients for free. I Now from what little we know of the French and from what a lot' we have heard of them, we are not sure we can go along with Prof Riddell's prediction on M. France's project. But we go all the way wi'_h him on his statements about milk. It is nature's most nearly perfect food. And milk experts have pointed out that some of the very best milk produced comes from this Cherokee County section. It is just plain good sense to buy Cherokee County milk since it is ^ of the very best quality ana it helps the economy of the county. r Parking Meters Murphy's Town Council took the legal step Monday night that mad? parking meters for the town a reality. The parking meter ordinance was voted in and actual installation is awaiting final shipment of part Of the equipment. The Scout has been in favor of parking meters from the beginning for two reasons: (1) We felt there is a definite need for meters in Mur phy, and (2) merchants of Murphy voted in favor of meters. Some people advocate that parking meters will pull automobiles off main streets and give the town a "dead look." That may be true to a certain extent during week days. The streets do look full now and the town does look prosperous with cars filling most of the parking spaces, but that's a hollow picture to most of Murphy's merchants. Practically all those cars are owned by people who are not shopping with our retail merchants. They are tieing up space that could be used fcy customers. The Scout agrees that there will be a vacant look about the streets for a while. But we belive that a potential customer will find a parking place on rainy days and on Saturdays. And that's what Mr. and Mrs. Shopper wants, that's what the merchants want and that's what the Scout wants.

F. Parrish, head of polutry xtension at State College. In the production of high quality ggs. it is necessary that a few iraple rules be followed. One of he first is keeping only purebred loultry. Parrish says that although rossbreds are very popular and ome will keep crossbred poultry, iroducers of quality eggs should ie careful about the particular ross that they purchase if they | esire to produce quality eggs of niform shell color. Mongrel flocks list do not fit into a quality egg rogram. Proper feeding of the laying lock Is very essential, too. It hould be fed scratch feed and & lying mash of high quality, bal nced in protein, fat. carbohydrat s, vitamins, and minerals, he ays. However, if th e poultryman hooses, he may feed an all-mash at ion, and regular and limited a lounts of green feed. The type of house, the equip lent in the house. and the a lounts and kinds of litter used are ery important. Some type of floor ther than a dirt floor should be sed and this shoutd be kept cov red with a clean, deep litter. Overcrowding of the laying ouse should be avoided, with at sast four square feet of floor pace allowed for each bird hous d. As a final tip, Parrish advised ie dropping boards or roosting acks be enclosed with wire net ng to keep the birds away from roppings. ? M. Sgt.
