SECTION TWO PAGE SIX Dairy Foods Are Kept Fresh At All Times At All A And P Stores “Freshness” and “quality” are the twin- watchwords of the dairy department in A&P Stores. Regulations govern the maxi mum length of time dairy pro ducts may be in the store. Limit, for eggs for instance, is three days, after candling. Milk must be] sold within 24 hours. Refrigerat-. ed display cases running the, length of the department serve as an additional guarantee of j freshness. 1 Always seeking improved,/ methods of merchandising, A&P was among the first to use card-t board containers for milk. The! convenience and cleanliness madet an immediate hit with the house- s wife. They are now used wher Many Accomplishments Os Soil Conservation Service In 1957 Earl B. Garrett, North Caro-, lina leader of the Soil Conserva tion Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, has announced that farmers cooperating with the 37 soil conservation districts made gains in protecting and improv ing land and in managing the water on their farms. These gains are shown in a report just released by Garrett on the accom plishments from January 1 to De cember 31, 1957. It reveals that district cooperating farmers con tinue to give practices and meas ures involving water their major attention. The report shows -.hat conser vation crop rotation's were ap plied on the 148,000 acres during the period and cover crops for land protection were applied on 174,000 acres. Crop residue was returned to the land on 219,000 acres. The use of crop rotations, cover crops, and utilization of residue helps in protecting the land and conditions the soil; all of which enables water to go in to the soil readily without run ning off the land and contributing to flood. According to the report, district I cooperating farmers, with the as-j sistance of the Soil Conservation! Service employees, constructed 4,635 farm ponds as water storage j reservoirs for irrigation, livestock ' CONGRATULATIONS T 0...

Milk is delivered daily by local dairies. “Homo” milk—in which the cream is thoroughly mixed "with the milk, 'providing rich, "creamy goodness—is in greatest demand. Other popular members ! of the milk “family” are choco ‘late and skim milk, buttermilk and cereal, whipping and sour cream. Eggs are supplied by poultry farms where feed and care are highly specialized. Only Grade A eggs are accepted by A&P. A&P offers a fine Cheddar, both new and old, under its own label.

According to a survey recently made, there are about 39,000 farm ponds in the state. There were 2Vi million feet of tile installed and 1,626 miles of open ditches dug benefitting 82,- 349 acres. A greater part of the drainage work was done in the eastern part of the state, but the farm ponds were in all parts. Farmers in districts applied 7,- 476 acres of strip cropping, con tour farmed 69,684 acres of land, and constructed 1,680 miles of terraces. Terraces and strip cropping made it easier for these cooperat ing farmers to follow contour farming. Contour farming, strip cropping and terracing retards soil washing and enables water to soak into the land. Improved pastures which are designed to keep enough live vegetation on the land to protect the soil and reduce runoff were applied on 58,000 acres. Tree planting for the purpose of protecting the land from erosion and heavy runoff was applied on 20,374 acres. Garrett pointed out that soil i surveys to obtain soil data on | which soil and water conservation ! plans and programs are based ■ have been completed on over 14,- j 500.00 acres. The N. C.

Waggoner, who seems to be having some diffi culty fitting the prises he won into his pack. Waggoner of MATCU-61, MAG-14, NAAS, Eden ton, look part in a recent "Truth or Consequences" show on NBC television. The show was filmed in Hollywood and was on the air Tuesday night, February 18. Waggoner was fealeured in a surprise reunion with his wife, Sydney, whom he hadn't seen in four or five months. Mrs. Waggoner resides in Ventura, California, and knew nothing of her husband's appearance before the show. For their participation in the show, the Waggoners won a whole line of Westinghouse appliances, including an iron, toaster, mixer and frying pan. The total value of these appliances is estimated at about $150.00. Waggoner was flown to and from Hollywood via Trans World Airlines at the expense of the National Broadcasting Company. (Official U. S. Marine Corps Photo). erates with the Soil Conservation i Service in making these surveys, j Farmers in districts improved 2,-1 835 acres of land for .wildlife food and shelter. This consisted of planting and managing woods field borders, odd corners in cropland fields and other areas. The Service also assisted 14,- 087 farmers in the Agricultural Conservation Program at the re quest of the ABC County Com mittees. This assistance consist ed of site selection and supervis ion of construction of permanent type practices such as drainage facilities, terraces, and farm ponds. < There are 89,000 farmers coop erating with districts in protect ing and improving their lands and in managing water on their farms. All of the 100 counties in the state are in organized soil conservation districts.

A And P Always Strives To Keep Garden Items Fresh And Cool Introduction by A&P of com plete self-service in the produce department is another step by the company to simplify shop ping, and to safeguard the quali ty of the food offered. tQ custom ers. While produce self-service has become commonplace in modern super markets during the past years. A&P has continued to seek new ways of offering perishables at the peak of garden freshness. Produce personnel are obligat ed to maintain this freshness con trol from the time company buy ers purchase the commodity in the field until it is sold to the customer. During the home growing sea son, produce from all parts of North and South Carolina domi nates the display counters of A&P stores in this area. The firm’s widespread buying facili ties “shop” the entire continent, however, to assure the customer of fresh, interesting produce throughout the year. j Population Causes Need For Saving • • Continued from Page I—Section 2 Big Rise for the Teens ! By contrast, -the number ofj ! older children and teen-agers is rising rapidly. The figures show that the 5 to 9 age group is ex-, pected to cross 19 million in num ber by 1960, up over a million from the July 1, 1957 total, and to stay close to this level by 1965. The early teen group, those be tween the ages of 10 and 14, which totaled 15 million at the middle of last year, is expected to add up to over 17 million in 1960, and to cross the 19 million level in 1965 to become the largest sin gle age group in the population at that time. And the age group between 15 and 19, which num bered under 12 million last July, ■ will according to projections in crease to nearly 13t4 million in 1960 and to cross the 17 million mark in 1965. j CONGRATULATIONS T 0... j § v“5...
