Explains How To Handle Milk Supply No Additional Tax On Automobiles Yet A. F. Kilby, president of Yad kin Valley Motor company, said today that many people have been mislead by publicity and rumors into believing that defense taxes have been added on automobiles prices. He explained that there are no taxes on automobile now except the ones which have 'been on for yerrs, that defense taxes have not been added, that the new tax law has not been passed and it is not known now what the tax will be or when It will go into effect. The handling In the home of milk produced by the family cow has long been a troublesome prob lem, says John A Arey, Extension dairy specialist at N C State Col lege. “You find almost a.s many dif ferent flavors of milk and butter a.s there are farm homes,” the speciellst said. “As a matter of fact, cows do not produce all these many flavored products. The different tastes found in dairy products in different homes a -e due to the different way,® the n ilk is handled.” A simple method of handling the milk will solve almost any problem that arises from the home production of dairy food, Arey added He spid that the best container for milk from one or two cows is the standard glass milk bottle. Just after milking, e milk should he strained through a good filter-type strain er after which the filter cloth should be discarded. Three to four folds of cheese cloth can be used when a filter- type strainer is not available but it is necessary to sterilize the cloth with boiling water after each use. Unless the cloth s sterilized, it will’act as a source of bacterial infection to milk each time the liquid is strained through it. After straining, the milk should be poured into quart glass bottles. A small tin funnel is good for use to prevent spill ing. 'The bottles then should he capped with standard milk .bottle caps. Several months’ supply of caps can he bought for less than 50 cents. The milk next should be cooled in cold water before It is remov ed to the refrigerator or Ice box. AAA Committeeman Offers Round-Up Of Wheat Facts state AAA Oommltteeman- farmer W. Herbert "White of Cas well county this week issued three iip-to-drte statements bearing up on the wheat situation in North Carolina: 1. Farmers who want to avoid payment of penalty on excess wheat by “delivering it to the secretary of agriculture” may now deliver the actual excess wheat to the county AAA commit- lee—in areas where it is not prac ticable to deliver it to grain ele vators' or warehouses and get re ceipts. The wheat wiRTnot actual ly .be delivered to the county AAA office, but will he delivered at such time and to such place as the county committee may desig nate. The county committee will be charged with diverting the penalty wheat into relief chan nels. , ^ 2. August 30 is the final date On which farmers may sign up for winter wheat insurance on this year’s crop (yet to be planted.) That gives farmers in this state nearly seven weeks in which to work out their wheat insurance plans and make application for government protection. 3. Government-approved stor age houses for grain may now he built of lumber. Formerly only steel Lins were approved by the U S Department of Agriculture for loan storage of grains.
