EAT MOKE FORK CAMPAIGN BEGUN THROUGHOUT N. C. Drive Also Is Directed Toward Boosting Use Of Apple Consumption Eat more pork, cook it with ap ples. This is a call from North Carolina farmers as they unite in promotional campaigns to increase the consump tion of these two important foods produced in this State. C. L. Ballance. chairman of the ex ecutive committee of the North Caro lina Cooperative Livestock Market ing Associations sponsored by the Ex tension Service, is directing the Na tional Economy Pork Sale campaign i? Stitc. It ?U! i two periods?February 1 to 10, and February 29 to March 9. "It so happens that the "Apples? For Health" event also will take place at the same time as the first period of the pork sale campaign, but this is fortunate since both are frequently included in the same menu," said Mr. Ballance, who is a prominent swine grower of Robeson County. H. W. Taylor Extension swine specialist of State College, is actively supporting the pork sale, and he points out that it will be especially valuable this year when the 1939 pig crop of 84,003,00c hogs goes on the market. "The North Carolina hog crop is consuming over two billion pounds of feed annually, which is no small item -to agriculture in this State," Taylor declared. "Cash sales from hogs in North Carolina are exceeded only by cash sales from tobacco, cot ton and cottonseed, and milk; there fore, the price of pork is of con siderable importance to us." Civic clubs, cafeterias, hotels, and restaurants are being asked to serve >t least two pork luncheons during the two periods designated for Na tional Economy Pork Sale.
