McLaughlin Delivers Address Before Club and Many Farmer Guests Annual Farmers’ Day was very successfully observed Friday by the North Wilkesboro Kiwanis club. Ptpgram Ctiatrm^„ J. county agent of Yadkin count; who spoke to the group present the subject of * Dairying”. Mr. McLaughlin stated that dairying is now one of the largest and most important phases of ag riculture. In the United States In 1943 there were 26,946,000 dairy cattle. In the recent years the production of milk has rapidly In creased. But there is still nor enough being produced to furnish our population with a moderate requirement per person. He stat ed there Is need to double our lo cal consumption and still have more to sell than we now do. He said that by 1945 there should be in the United States 28,000,000 dairy cattle. In 1924 we produc ed 80 billion pounds of butter. By 1945 it should be 125 billion pounds. He gave figures to show how we use milk per person as compared with certain other countries. In the case of butter in 1941 we used 16.4 pounds per person, in New Zealand it was 36 pounds per person and In Canada It was 30 pounds. Numbers of other countries use more cheese than we do. He urged the farmers present to grow better stock, pro vide for raising more of their feed and arrange to have better and longer months of pasture. Farmers present were J. M. German, Charlie German, Gar Cleary, T. E. ' nthony, L. P. Somers, W. Bland Martin, Don C. Poplin, J. N, Hendren, John Q. Burcham, C. W. Hendren, T. E. Blackburn, J. H.

Reports from the front said the German troops cut off included el ements of two or three divisions —the garrison of Cherbourg, left to defend that great prize, and fanatic Hitler youth troops who, formed into suicide squads along vhe American trapline, were bat tling to the death. Planes of the United States Ninth Air Force swept into action over the peninsula and it was an nounced that they had killed o* wounded more than 800 enemy troops in convoys who were trying to flee southward. At least 30 trucks and many horse-drawn field guns and motorcycles were de stroyed. A dispatch by Henry T. Gorrell, United Press war correspondent with the Ninth Division—^veterans of Tunisia — described how ele- nienta of the German - 77th and T9th Divisions had WhatCnTot^ Nev# mind'the, sympathy—^he doesn't want it! In Ms niind, he did his duty, and part of his duty was stopping an enemy bullet. You have a-dut/, too, in this war. Part of your duty is to buy War Bonds with ev ery dime and dollar you can. So simply say “thanks” to a wounded soldier, by buymg your full share of War Bonds in the Fifth War Loan. Don’t ex pect credit—you can’t match his sacri fice, by merely lending your money.. But don’t be ashamed, either—^if you’ve done your duty, you’ve shown your gratitude —^the way he wants you to. Say “thanks” to every American sol dier-double the bonds you bought be fore!

This information that men In service from Wilkee are aiding In the Fifth War Iy>an was contained In an official report received by W. D. Halfacre, War Loan chair man for Wilkes, from C. T. LInebach, state chairman. It Is significant that men who have left their homes, given up their jobs and are willing to sacri fice their lives for victory also have the patriotism to Invest parj of their meagre fighting pay In war bonds. Mr. Halfacre described the fact as a challenge to the people on the home front, who live In comfort and security made possible by the men of the armed forces. News that the service men from Wilkes have used their funds so liberally in the purchase of bonds should cause a big increase In bond buying hy the people «f the county, so great that no difficulty will be experienced in raising the quota of $990,000. Sales to date total $202,000, which is described as a good be ginning. But to go over the top fully. It Is necessary that tlu people of Wilke-; buy a total of $227,000 In "E” I'onds, which amount will be a part of the overall, total. As of this morning, “E” bond purchases totaled only $37,614, which shows that the people are lagging In amount of purchasee by only to bii llirown tmek Tn a'^Mtttla in which the doughboys stoi)ped| the enemy tanks with bazookas, j hand grenades and carbines. | V More Lends for victory.
