'Milk Measures Up'
Is Theme Of Month
By L. B. HARDAGE
For many years, the
month of June has been a
time when our neighbors in
the dairy business hold a
celebration they call June
Dairy Month. It's their way
of calling attention to the
qualities of their industry,
milk and dairy products.
This year, the dairy
farmers of our state have
selected as their theme
"Milk Measures Up." When
we think about the nutritional
value of milk and dairy
products we agree milk
indeed measures up as a
tremendously valuable nutritional
food.
Despite increased prices
for almost all food served at
home (including milk and
dairy products), we think
milk also measures up as a
food dollar 'stretcher' when
used in cooking meals at
home. In fact, milk and
dairy products have been
the most significant food
group in restraining the rise
in the average cost of food at
home.
We think our state's dairy
farm families measure up,
too. Dairy farmers are
seven-day-a-week men;
combination laborers, managers,
investors, veterinarians,
purchasing agents and
environmentalists. They
make a tremendous financial
investment in their
business, and their businesa
has a tremendous financial
impact on our state's
economy.
We agree with our friends
in the dairy business — Milk
Measures Up!

By EMILY BALLINGER
Home Extension Agent
Mrs. Hattie Henderson of
the Ridgeway Community
has been enrolled in the
Expanded Foods and Nutrition
Educational program
for approximately 18
months. She says the
program, which is a part of
the Warren County Agricultural
Extension Service's
educational program, has
been most helpful to her in
learning how to improve the
diet of her family of four.
Mrs. Henderson says she
finds it quite rewarding to
try new ideas and the pretty
garden she has this year is a
first for her. With the
encouragement from Mrs.
Sallie Patillo, Extension
Program Aide working with
Mrs. Henderson, she planted
a vegetable garden. By
the last of May she had
eaten squash, garden peas
^pd cabbage from her
"garden, sihe will also be

garden that she says she
shows it to everyone who
visits her. She also points
out that fresh vegetables are
saving her money on the
food bill now, and she is also
freezing some for use later.
Stress Battle
Requires Rest,
Time To Sleep
By BERTHA B. FORTE
Extension Agent
There's an unpleasant
condition we all suffer from
at various times in our
lives—and it's called stress.
Though it's mainly mental
in nature, it can affect our
physical health as well.
And if we don't find ways
to get relief from it, we can
suffer from such ailments,
as diarrhea, headaches, or
sleeplessness. What's more,
if the stress is severe and
lasts a long time, we can get
into real trouble with high
blood pressure, a heart
condition or ulcers.
It adds up to this. When
we're under stress, the
worst thing to do is try to
hide it. When we deny
feeling and hold them
inside, they tend to build up.
And all of a sudden we may
lose control and explode into
an angry rage.
So it's better to face stress
openly. Talk about your
problems with a sympathetic
family member or
friend.
Since you can't always
avoid the causes of stress,
try taking extra good care of
your health. Schedule some
time for fun and relaxation.
Let physical exercise work
off some of your tensions.
Eat right and get enough
rest and sleep. And above
all, recognize that stress is a
normal part of life.
But it doesn't have to
make us unhappy, angry
people or affect our health.

Off-Shoot-T 85' is still the champ wherever
good flue cured tobacco is grown. Because it's
knocked out more suckers than any other product.
In fact, it won't give a sucker an even break.
But it'll sure give you one. Because with OffShoot-T
85 you can top early. That can earn you
up to $25 an acre per day by helping to increase
your yield of quality tobacco. And that's not all.
By practically eliminating suckers. Off-Shoot-T
85 will also save you costly hand clean up time
What's more, it's easy to use. Just spray it
when most of your plants are at the early button
stage. Then, since your plants don't all grow at
the same rate, make a second application 5-7
days later. And follow up about a week later with
maleic hydrazide. That's the best way to get almost
perfect sucker control.
This season don't give a sucker an even break.
Use the champ. Use Off-Shoot-T 85. For better
sucker control. Agricultural Specialties Dept..
