duced North Carolina’s com pro

1942. The drought was, of course,
more severe in some areas than
others, with the tier of counties
making lip the Piedmont section
of the State being the hardest hit. |

' The average yield per acre of
corn for grain decreased from 27.5
bushels last year to 25.0 bushels
this year.
The acreage of com harvested
for grain decreased from 2,001,000
acres last year to 1,904,000 acres

drought grain yield prospects were
practically nil on thousands of
farms and a considerable portion of
this acreage was diverted to silage
and forage. Com utilized as silage
increased from 82,000 acres last
year to 106,000 acres this year.
The acreage harvested for forage
increased from 76,000 acres in 1953

fljealth For All ]
— A
At this season of the year when
the newspapers, radio, and TV are
recalling the events of the year
just ending, the trends are analyzed
and predictions are made. In a
smaller way, families are going
through the same process which
came to a head on New Year's Eve t
| with resolutions for the coming
I year.
i While resolutions are still be
jing considered, may we enter a
I plea for the forgotten man, Father,
j Plenty of attention is paid to the
| health of the very young and tile
very old, but the man in the mid
dle—the man who does the world’s
work and pays the bills—is too of-1
ten forgotten. He’s a pretty im
portant guy. If he doesn’t keep
Well, we’re all in trouble.
Let’s do a little analyzing to find (
out whether he is . keeping well, j
One study made in industrial plants'
this past year indicates that a good)
many fathers aren’t eating a j
healthy diet. It was found that the j.
majority were having coffee and I
a roll for breakfast, easing mid
morning hunger with high calorie 1
snacks like candy bars, grabbing a I
sandwich and coffee for lunch.)
Malnutrition and obesity were en-|
tirely too common. Only one!
square meal a day, a diet low in j
protective foods, such as milk,!
fruits and green vegetables-- it’s an
invitation to trouble,
j And Father is having trouble.!
itoo. Statistics show that there isj
more serious illness, more deaths!
among men of middle years than|
among women. They have more
tuberculosis, for instance. Yet we
know that a healthy, well-nourish
ed person can usually fight TB
germs to a standstill.
If Father isn’t timing proper
, care of his health, isn’t eating right
: or getting enough sleep, rest, and
• recreation, we can resolve to do
something about it. It may take
. some managing to help him take
,) reasonable care of his health and
. jget him to the doctor’s office for
| the physical examination and chest
. j X-ray he should have regularly.
•Possibly, however, if Father is
i! made to realize that, he is apptv
.l ciated more than just one day ai
. year, he’ll cooperate,

and babies in powder puffs. At first goose down was used, but in
1906 cotton velour was introduced and immediately became popular.
