SECTION TWO JUNE DAIRY MONTH TO BE CELEBRATED OVER STATE Throughout June literally hun dreds of persons in North Caro lina will join hands in a com mon effort to call attention to this state’s booming dairy industry— from the dairy cow to the chill ed carton of fresh milk left on your doorstep. To say that the North Carolina dairy industry is big business and is important to the state’s econo my prould be trite —yet it is a fact that seldom gains the atten tion of the average person on the strdet. Suffice to say that North Carolina has some 35,000 individ ual farm families who are in the business of keeping cows to pro-j duce milk. The gross dairy farm income in this state climbed over the 'billion dollar mark in 1957. Just the cows on the state’s dairy farms were valued at about $38.5 million. The average grade A dairyman in North Carolina with a 24-cow milking herd has an estimated $27,000 invested in animals and dairy equipment alone. And there’s the dairy manufac turing side of the picture. Dairy processing plants have an ap proximate average capital invest-, ment of $35 per quart of daily output. A plant with a 1,000- gallon business has at least $140,- 000 invested. But why go to so much trou ble to tell the dairy industry story? May and June are months when Old Bossy outdoes herself. They are months of abundant milk production. In order to market this above-normal produc tion farmers and businessmen of ■ the industry have long realized j that “it pays to advertise”. And | advertise they do. Along withi the formal advertising, hundreds' of hours by many people in many different jobs go into what is kno\yn as "general promotion”. With school out and hot weath er at’hand during June the indus try has for years been faced with a drop in milk consumption. The general public and the kids have had a tendency to turn from wholesome milk to not-so-whole some, other iced drinks.

THat, in essence, is the present story on government spending. The situation is so acute that members of the Congressional economy bloc are warning that the campaign against governmen tal waste and extravagance must be intensified, now tomorrow may be too late. Their S. O. S. for immediate ac tion is based on a highly unsatis factory fiscal outlook highlighted by: , 1. An official forecast (by Mau rice H. Stans, the Budget Direc tor) that “a large deficit—in the general range of 8 to 10 billion dollars, according to present ten tative estimates—is in prospect for next year instead of the SSOO million surplus we had planned.” 2.

Miss Connie i Hobby of New Bern, a student at : WCUNC, is the reigning N. C. Dairy Princess. The finals will be preceded by county and area contests over the state, each a ma jor production involving many persons. But the position of N. C. Dairy Princess is worth all the work. She is the official repre sentative of one of the state’s most important industries. This year the statewide June Dairy Month promotion is head ed by Earle Edwards, N. C.

Much of the real work in the promotion campaign is accom plished however, by 24 area chair men. It is their job to carry the story to the people on the local level—the toughest job of all.

The likelihood that the Treasury will ask Congress for a permanent increase in the nation al debt ceiling to at least $290 bil lion to permit the increased de ; ficit spending now in prospect. The permanent ceiling now is $275 billion, but Congress recent ly raised it temporarily until June 30, 1959—t0 S2BO billion. The all-time peak—during the Korean war—was S3OO billion. 4.

These are among the reasons advanced by the economy bloc for resisting demands for unnec ' essary spending. The}’ believe that the nation’s future prosperi -1 ty would be jeopardized by adop tion at the present time of irre sponsible fiscal policies. A year ago a real “grass roots” : campaign developed against a [proposed budget calling for the expenditure of $71.8 billion dur ing the present fiscal year. As a, result, the budget was cut sub-1 stantially and Mr. Eisenhower, initiated efforts to hold spending below S7O billion for the follow ing fiscal year (beginning next July 1). But last fall, while the new budget was being prepared, Rus sia launched its first Sputnik, j Immediately there was a substan tial step-up in government spend ing. At about the same time the | first signs of the current recession I began to appear. Thus, while', spending increased, revenue be gan to fall off. The budget submitted to Con gress last January called for spending $73.9 billion during the fiscal year starting next July 1. The prospect now, however, is (unless the economy campaign succeeds) that spending is more likely to be in the neighborhood of S7B billion—and to reach SBO billion the following year. This assumes, of course, that the Administration will succeed in defeating the many radical proposals for. prof] iga te -spending advanced by some members of Congress—which would make the total much higher.

In connection with government spending, Budget Director Stans gives the following advice: ■“We must keep a sense of per spective about our national prob lems and the budget. The cur rent recession should not be al lowed to stampede us into hasty, ill-considered actions which will add unnecessarily to our future burdens. | “Let’s not forget that the course of our type of economy depends in the last analysis on millions of economic decisions by individ uals and businesses, made freely every day. The role of govern ment in this economic system should be to stimulate rather than, to try to dominate private ac tivity.” In taking revenge a man is but even with his enemy, but in passing it over he is superior, for it is a prince's part to par don. —Francis Bacon.

Elizabeth City Dial 5995 Wheat Referendum Is Scheduled For June 20 Chowan County wheat farmers will help make an important de cision when they vote June 20 in the national wheat marketing quota referendum, A. C. Griffin, of the Chowan County Agricul tural Stabilization and Conserva tion Committee, says. If at least two-thirds of the growers who vote in the referen dum approve quotas for the 1959 crop, Mr. Griffin explained, the 1959 wheat program will include acreage allotments, marketing quotas (with penalties on “ex cess” wheat) and price supports at a minimum national average of SI.BI per bushel, or 75 per cent of parity. If the quotas are not approved by at least two-thirds of those voting, there will be no market- : n® quotas or penalties, but allot ments will remain in effect as a means of determining eligibility for price support. The price sup port rate would be about $1.20 per bushel, or 50 per cent of parity, | as provided by law. j Chairman Griffin pointed out that wheat marketing quotas and ! lcreage allotments operate only [ in commercial wheat States— those with allotments of more than 25,000 acres. North Carolina has an allotment of 296,356 acres for the 1959 wheat crop. Growers eligible to vote in the referendum are those who will , be affected by the wheat quotas if they become effective. Thu*, j farmers who will have 15 acres or less of wheat for harvest as prain in 1959 and those who are taking part in the 1958 feed wheat program are not eligible to cast ballots in the 1959 wheat quota 1 refrendum on June 20. f *■ Vsv >. 1 STAR E-CASE— Beverly Davis , hoops it up in Miami Beach, Fla.
