J . spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. Luke Ellis Seven and one-half million non- j farm households in the United States raised vegetables in 1946 | Dairymen Urged To Reduce Costs With milk prices dropping, dairy men need to keep production costs as low as possible if they are to maintain their net income at present levels, says John A. Arey, in charge of dairy extension at State College. Arey says prices paid for farm products are failing more rapidly than farm operating costs If this trend continues, he adds, dairy farmers who fail to utilize every possible practice which might lower their producticn costs will find their profits approaching the \amsthditg point. Roughage is the cheapest source of cow feed, the dairy specialist points out. Roughage includes pasture, silage, and hay. In cheap ness per feed unit, pasture ranks first, silage second and hay a close third. To lower production costs and increase profits. Arey suggests the followi ng practices: Pro\ ide adequate -'razing for as long a period as possible. Improve the quality of grazing through fertilization and good pas ture management. Grow at home a minimum of from three to four tons of silage and ll2 tons of hay per cow Practice a good program of disease control. Keep production and breeding records and continually cull out all low-producing cows. Grow replacements sired by pro duction-bred bulls. Purchased replacements are expensive and often are responsible for bringing in diseases QglV/NG^ Get New ESSO Motor Oil ! fXTRA Motor oil lAm ja /EXTRA PROTECTION Get important * xtra engine protection with new Esso i:\TRA Motor Oil . . . the amazing new premium oil that maintains its lubri cating value under extremes of heat and cold better than any other motor oil!

Select Your Best Plants To Mature in Garden Row Thin oat excess plants gradually, and allow the best plants to live, using , discards for table when possible. Thinning out the plants that come up from the seed you have sown may give you an emotional shock. In fact, some gardeners just can't bring themselves to do it, and In consequence their plants are so crowded none can develop full size and vigor, and the crop is reduced in quality as well as quantity. There is no way to get a full stand in a row without sowing ex tra seeds; and the home gardener is well advised to do this. He may look upon the task of thinning out as an opportunity, which permits him to select the finest plants to develop and inferior ones to be eliminated. For best results, thinning should be done in stages. In the case of a crop which grows best when the plants stand six inches apart, do not at first thin it to one plant for each six inches. There are two reasons for this: First, many vegetables, such as carrots and beets, are most deli cious when half-mature. By thin ning at first only enough to insure that each plant stands well alone in the row and then allowing them to grow awhile, many will soon reach | the stage when they can be har- , vested for the table. Second, it is foolish to discard all excess plants prematurely when ac- ! cidents, insects or disease may de- i stroy many which are left. If thin- 1 ning is done by stages as the plants grow, they will Anally stand at the optimum distance from each other, and there will be small chance of vacant spaces in the row. Lettuce plants, thinned to stand an inch apart, will soon reach a size when alternate plants can be removed to make a salad; and this process may be continued until the spacing is right for the remaining plants to mature. Carrots may be thinned the first time when they are as thick as a pencil; and a dish of the thinnings will give those who have never eat en such tiny carrots before, a new idea of this vegetable. Beets may be allowed to grow un- 1 til about six inches tall, when their | roots have just begun to swell. If i thinned out at this stage, the thin nings should be cooked roots and ' tops together, for a delicious dish j Produce high quality milk, the find the consumer is willing to l?ay for. Breed and manage the herd so hat milk production will be gear- ( xi to demand. The usual heavy ?pring and early summer produc ..on, followed by low fall and winter production, is less profitable than uniform production. More j cows should be bred to freshen in September. October, and Novem ber Keep enough cows to use effi ciently all available feed and labor. Provide the herd with an ade quate supply of clean fresh water. Peachtree Revival Services conducted by the Rev Andy Cloer and the Rev. Ham Coffey have been in progress at Peachtree School for the past three weeks. A baptising was held Sunday afternoon, and 24 people were baptised. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Barton of Tryon visited Mr. Barton's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Barton, over the week-end Billy Barton. Mr. Bartons brother, returned home with them. Mr. and Mrs. Wig Hughes were Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Barton. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Crain of Murphy recently visited Mrs Grain's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Barton of Peachtree. Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Pipes have returned to Peachtree. Farmers probably will receive almost four billion dollars from marketings of milk and butterfat in 1949 as compared with 4.4 bil lion in 1948. They will sell more milk than last year but prices wil run considerably lower.
