have been using excellent bulls
for years and hWve developed
.fine dairy animals. The program
is part ot a movement to build
up milk production in the two
states. In 1946 North Carolina
ranked twenty-second in the
forty-eight states in milk produc
tion and twenty-fifth in the num
ber of cows and - Virginia was
twentieth in milk production and
twenty-first in the number of
dairy cows. With the natural sec
tional dairying advantages, in
cluding a longer grazing season,
the two states have much larger
milk production potentialities.
In announcing the new pro-]
gram, Coble stated that "many
thousands of pounds of milk are
annually shipped to our section
from the northern dairy states
to meet the demand for dairy
products. If we save all dairy
heifers and import fine milk pro
ducing animals from the best
dairy sections, the increased milk
production will enable us to
keep the large amount of money
paid for outside milk in our
states. Orders for the heifers will
be handled by county farm a
gents and Coble fieldmen and
we are confident that additional
dairy cattle will bring -increased
prosperity to the people of both
states.

Fight Against Rats
Now lijtiril Aral
*
Encouraged 'by the success of
the campaign against rats in
rural areas, the National Com
mittee for Rat Control is now ex
tending the rat eradication drive
into towns and cities throughout
North Carolina and other states,
according to L. C. Whitehead,
rodent control specialist at State
College.
Mayors and other city officials
in the State are being urged to
write for free literature on rat
control programs, Mr. Whitehead
said. Also, civic and garden clubs
and other community groups are
being ashed to take an active
part in the program.
An estimated 110,000 farm
families In . North Carolina co
operated in the rural campaign.
Red Squill rat bait proved so ef
fective in destroying the rodents
that many millers, grocerymen,
and others now are assisting in
carrying the campaign into ur
ban centers, the specialist said.
Mr. Whitehead said the City
of Raleigh provides a good ex
ample of how the rat population
can be kept down in an urban
area. Through the use of rat
poison and stoppage work, in
which city and county health of
ficials have cooperated, Raleigh
[now has less than one-fifth as
many rats as it had five years
-
ago, he asserted.
The anti-rat program in the
State Capital, Mr. Whitehead
continued, has the active support
of the merchants, Chamber of
Commerce members, and city and
county officials, and tor that
reason the program has proved
quite effective.
Mayors who desire free educa
tional material for an anti-rat
campaign in1 their own cities may
obtain it by wTiting Mr. White
head at State College, or ,the
National Committee for Rat Con
trol, Fish and Wildlife Service,

The better you live, the more oil you
need.
fi
■ i
. Today—3 million more cars are on the road
than pre-war. 1,500,000 more homes have oil
heat. Five times as many diesel locomotives
now. Twice as many farm tractors and trucks.
More oil spells more progress,
/ •
But—this rising need for oil can be met
only by modernizing and expanding on a
big scale — and in a hurry in spite of to
day's high costs.
To do this job, Standard Oil Company (New
Jersey) and its affiliates are spending one
billion dollars in 1947 and 1948 alone—for
new wells, plants, tankers, pipelines, storage
tanks, and all the other things it takes to get
you the oil you need.
That billion dollars
is money that goes back into
the business from earnings,
past and current.
I
In 1947, for instance, we put 426 million
dollars into replacements and expansion. To
do this, we:
•
• (1) used all funds set aside to replace
worn-out equipment;
(2)\ ploughed back well over half the year's
profits—all that was left after paying
dividends; and
%
(3) dipped heavily into savings put aside
in years past to help meet just such
needs as we face today. j
In the seven years 1940 through 1946, we
spent well over one billion dollars for needed
- •
equipment, mostly for war needs. Now, in just
two years, we are spending another billion
dollars. This money comes from the business
itself. Money made on the job goes back
into the job.
Profits we reinvest for needed produc
tion facilities work for everybody. They
pay for the capital investment that we
must make today to get the oil you need
tomorrow.
